Iggy is 73. You know the apocalypse is hear if you see him pop up on an AARP magazine cover. Shirtless or not.

Fantastic snare drum sound.
I almost didn't recognise him with a shirt on. 
I wish I knew why this plays in heavy rotation here and also, for some strange reason, on both SiriusXM Spectrum and Slacker's Adult Alternative. It's repetitive and banal. Feh!
I’m a real mild child.

Got my vote for Post Of The Year (well from whatever year it was "8 years ago"). Great comment.

Oh no, where did that idea come from?. I would be gobsmacked if Professor Tolkien ever heard of Iggy Pop. Certainly didn't figure him into the character of Gollum, who was likely born about 1940. Or did you mean that Andy Sertis, the actor who so brilliantly played Gollum in the film, was channeling Iggy Pop in developing the character? Cynaera, usually I find you the essence of sense, sincerity and intriguing comments. But you just diddled with Professor Tolkien, and I've got to respond.
I assure you he was referring to Andy Serkis' depiction of the character. I don't know if it was Serkis or Peter Jackson's idea.

Okay - what do "Crocodile Dundee," "Adventures in Babysitting," and "Pretty Woman" have in common? This song.
Iggy Pop was part of the prototype for "Gollum" in "Lord of the Rings." And in his very brief stint in one of the Crow movies, he was absolutely maniacal.
I sorta love Iggy.

I think a strong case can be made that even Iggy didn't think too highly of the music he was putting out at this time - based on the album title alone. And I don't think he was being ironic.
Count me in as one of those people who thinks the semiotics of Iggy Pop meant more to rock than his actual music. Perhaps a meaningful discussion can ensue regarding the relationship between style and substance in rock music - are they inseparably linked with certain artist like Mssr. Pop? Discuss, I'll be getting a cocktail.
Semiotics: pretentious word meaning study of methods of communication like appearance, gestures, and symbols.

Who made the mistake of booking Iggy for that gig?I liked it when he came up to the judges and did his shake.Saw him 35 years ago....quite the freak!
Saw him on a recent ep of "American Idol." He should have cashed in when he was at his prime, because his performance was just sad. All those lights and cues... He forgot the words and staggered around the stage like a marionette with a couple of strings cut.
I love Iggy - always will - but his performance on American Idol told me that he's now in it for the money. I weep, and cling to his really great stuff, like this song.

Hey You!! Toss me that jar of Skippy Super Chunk!!
Autobiographical?
this song will always remind me of one place at one time... I know its kinda tame for Iggy, but a classic. I like to speed it up some!
Not really into Iggy...but this song is fun. Can't help it! Tappin' and shakin'!!!

I have the vinyl Sticky Fingers LP with the workable zipper which caused a slight dent on the album itself, which caused a bad skip during "Moonlight Mile," one of my favorite Stones songs. I was so happy to get a CD replacement.... though I still love that LP cover!

this song, sadly, lost it's allure for me once it became the song in the opening sequence of 'Pretty Woman'.

All I can think of when I hear this song is "Pretty Woman" ... which, in all honesty, is one of my favorite chic flicks ... but from a musical perspective, Pretty Woman Soundtrack just doesn't sound right on RP. Does not compute.

A 9 because, well, he's Iggy and his stuff ROCKS! Never mind taht he's a fellow Michigander and I saw him often enough as the front man to The (Psychedelic) Stooges taht he evokes a certain nostalgia. Heck, even my wife digs this tune abd asked me to put it in her exercise mix!

A 7 because this song is just pure fun! Makes me think of a time when I was a aimless teenager running through stores in the mall knocking everything off the shelves as I went along...getting chased by mall security. You know, purely 80s mall rat antics.

Wow. Those are some really unattractive jeans. (Enjoying the tune, though!)
Never liked the production on this album—an irritatingly dated eighties synth sound ladled over everything—but the vocal performance is pure, raw unrestrained Iggy. A great cover version, in the final analysis, and still fun to hear.
