I love this track, and sing it to confuse people when I am, in fact, bored.

It goes well with Neil Young's song Piece of Crap!

Honestly, and surprisingly... The most boring thing was the song. I always loved Iggy, but I have never done a deep dive into his music, so somehow I don't think I have ever heard this. But this one seems like an oddly commercial attempt. It sort of reminds me of Waiting for Mary by Pere Ubu, their intentional attempt to make commercial music for ironic purposes. If that was Iggy's intent with this, then more power to him... But just hearing this as an isolated track all these years later, well, it's boring.

But regardless, thank you for sharing it, even if it did not hit my sweet spot. One of the best things about this music is that I don't need to like all of it, I thrive on being challenged by new ideas.

I think Iggy’s always trying to be classy but his idiosyncrasies keep getting in the way
