Yes, he was the Vorta in the episode where the Dominion kidnaps Moogie and Quark, Rom, and some Ferengi go to rescue her/negotiate her release ("The Magnificent Ferengi").

Gosh and sorry, but this is not good. Allegedly fun, but simply grating to me. And yes, I have seen Iggy Pop (in Kyoto), so this is not a comment from someone who dislikes a performer already and uses this as a basis for criticizing a particular piece. Really, this is pedestrian.

This is a first time song. One that sounds good the first time you hear it. Everytime after that you catch yourself in the same chorus wondering why I'm singing this song.

Different for Iggy, but still a great little song.

Sounds like somebody I've heard before, but I can't remember who.....

No refuting Iggy being a punkrocker, but he does not really sound up to it in this track.

For all the pop garbage this song is, Iggy still delivers the goods and makes it worth listening to.

There's another really cool song on this CD that I heard on KCRW's "Morning Comes Eclectic". "Yours to Keep". I uploaded it. It didn't even make it to review status. Rats. One should check it out.

I don't know - I happened to be listening to "Gimme Danger" on the way to work this morning and then heard this - seems pretty lame when compared. Still love Iggy, though.

Of course this isn't any kind of punk rock, but that makes it, um, ironic an' stuff. And Iggy can sing recipes for butterscotch cookies and make it sound like punk rock. So: enjoyable after all.

See me drivin down the street,
I'm bored with looking good.
I got both hands off the wheel,
The cops are coming.
I'm listening to the music with no fear,
You can hear it too if your sincere...

Coz I'm a punk rocker yes I am.
Well I'm a punk rocker yes I am.
Coz I'm a punk rocker yes I am.
Well I'm a punk rocker yes I am.

I see you stagger in the street,
And you cant stay on your feet.
And your faking in your sleep,
You wish that you were deep.
You can't hear me laughing to myself,
If you could you would be someone else.

Coz I'm a punk rocker yes I am.
Well I'm a punk rocker yes I am.
Coz I'm a punk rocker yes I am.
Well I'm a punk rocker yes I am.

See me die on bleaker street,
I'm bored with being god,
See me sneering in my car,
I'm driving to my star.

I'm listening to the music with no fear,
You can hear it too if your sincere...


Coz I'm a punk rocker yes I am.
Well I'm a punk rocker yes I am.
Coz I'm a punk rocker yes I am.
Well I'm a punk rocker yes I am.

Coz I'm a punk rocker yes I am.
Well I'm a punk rocker yes I am.

Thankfully, Iggy brought lots of changes in the verses. And much more so than the band's female lead singer, Iggy hits this one out of the ballpark.

The best Iggy quote ever:

Iggy Pop says it’s not as easy to feel good as it once was. “To feel good when I was 21, all I had to do was to smoke a joint,” the 59-year-old rock dinosaur tells the March issue of Spin. “Now I have to turn off my phones, do tai chi for an hour, drink a strong cup of coffee, and stay away from bad people, so I can feel good for an hour or two — knowing when it ends, I’m gonna feel like the miserable 59-year old prick that I actually am.”

That is hilarious! I can relate. *sigh* Thanks for sharing!
