Fab song - Rubbish album cover.

Even when Iggy looked like that, he didn't look like that.
 

 I think it has that perfect "Iggy at your cervix" look, actually.

Thanks for prompting me to add another point to the rating. 8 from the Nottingham jury.

I am getting very adept at clicking the "Mute" button on my WinAmp when this song comes on. I love Iggy Pop, but this one just grates on my nerves like the Macarena.  I'd rather listen to the sound of absolute quiet, or of cats snoring, or of a car motor trying to turn over after a minus-12 night.

Rated it a 1. I know there are others here who'd give it 11, and that's great for them. Vivé le difference! {#Cheers}
 
I personally love the sound of cats snoring. My fatcat Shaman does it all the time. It makes me look at him lovingly and smile. :)
Snoring cats get an 11 from me, every time!



I love you guys.......{#Clap}

You both get an 11.

Love this tune.  Quite a unique undertaking - Sales boys laying down the groove and wailing on back up vocals.

Love it.

This needs an 11 - Even if God could write it he'd never be able to perform it with the same passion

Can't help but think about Iggy in "Cry Baby".  A movie so bad, it's awesome.  And I mean, baaaad.  Having second thoughts about "awesome".

Someone really needs to tell him it's not cute any more. I thought he was an ass when I saw him open for the Stones in the 80's and he's still an ass from what I see lately. Sometimes it's just better to retire and go away.

Sorry . . . turned off RP after this one and downgraded my rating on it once again. Heading for sucko barfo. 
 
What difference does his present-day lack of "cuteness" make for a song that was recorded 33 years ago?
