this cracked me up because you both looked like a couple of anthropologists who have stumbled across some mysterious primitive culture in the forest of some island lost in time. And in a way, you have..

Brad: "He must be very eccentric" Me: Busts out laughing, that's exactly right

You guys should watch “Trainspotting”. One of the best movies ever made.

Iggy Pop was the singer for the Stooges. He's the grandfather of punk. One of THE most influential artists EVER. My aunt gave me Iggy around 8 yrs old. When she showed me a poster of Iggy standing on the crowd I knew what I wanted to do. Sing in a band....and that is what I did for 15 years. 😆

He's not really being silly or serious, he's just being Iggy lol and you interpret him how you interpret him. He's inherently eccentric/shocking, quite often with lyrics based around rock and roll lifestyle. He is a punk rock n rolla and he lived it. I tend to just appreciate the vibe of his music more than anything and have always seen him as a proto-Manson.

"Well, that's like hypnotizing chickens" has been my favorite line since I was a little kid. My aunt played this for me around 1980. Iggy and David Bowie wrote this song together while getting off cocaine in Berlin in the 70s. They were broke and had an apartment. This was the Pop/Bowie collaborative years.

I love this song so much, makes you dance and feel free. Also I’m Scottish and this song is heavily connected to Trainspotting which is a hugely popular Scottish movie. Choose life

I would not have started y’all off with “Lust For Life,” (great album nonetheless,) but the added problem here is that it was the biggest song off the Trainspotting soundtrack, and if you don’t know that and have not seen that film this video is probably super confusing-good case for a lyric video, or just have lyrics pulled up, (I would have thought by now Brad would just have lyrics pulled up for every song.) Iggy Pop & The Stooges are the “godfathers” of punk, their debut was released in 1969. This song was released during Pop’s solo career in 1977, BUT this video is from the ‘90s to coincide with the film trainspotting (1996.) Iggy Pop is still producing music today. 2019’s “Free” was his most recent solo album. Listening to this song may also benefit with the context of Pop’s personal history, which was full of heroin, speed, various other drugs, and homelessness brought on by the addiction to drugs. I believe when The Stooges reunited briefly they discussed in interviews how the kind of gear they played wasn’t important because one of the other band members was probably going to steal it to sell for drugs. Also, around the time that album was released Iggy Pop & David Bowie had been good friends and frequent collaborators. Check out Iggy Pop & Grace Jones performing “Nightclubbin’” (also on the Trainspotting soundtrack,) or “China Girl” (a song which he and Bowie co-wrote and both released their own versions of,) songs off the album, The Idiot. If I were to start someone off on an Iggy Pop path, “I Wanna Be Your Dog” of The Stooges’ self-titled debut would be the song, (the version off The Crow: City Of Angels’ soundtrack is my favorite, but I’d still start ya off with the original,) and probably “Search And Destroy” or “Gimme Danger” off Raw Power (1973.)

Iggy has been around since the 60s. You would have to delve in a little more to appreciate his music. There is a lot to this well respected artist!

The close up of a confused and speechless Brad & Lex at the end was priceless.

Your confusion makes Iggy all the more relevant 🎶🤔🤩👍

"Its like hypnotizing chickens" ... the single greatest phrase in music history.

You need to watch trainspotting one of the best films of the 90's Iggy's the man!

He's got it right. The song is funny, confusing and a victory song. All punk is tongue in cheek (funny), hectic and Iggy Pop wrote this song after he came out of a drug addiction so it is a of a victory song.

Iggy was performance artist.Used to do crazy things on stage. Had a hit with this and then .....The film clips are from Train Spotting , an English film about drugs and they used his song in it .

I've been going to concerts since 1979. Seen thousands of bands over the years. Iggy is without a doubt, the best live performer I've ever seen.

Love it. You got me with "I think he must be very eccentric"...understatement of the year. Do see the movies Trainspotting for the grittiest heroin withdrawal scene ever and Velvet Goldmine for Mr. Pop's performance vibe in all its glory. Other tunes from you might want to review just for the "now, there's something you don't see/hear every day" factor are Pumping for Jill and I'm Bored.

Punk rock pioneer. Iggy is just terrific & iconic. 💟

Damn I miss how diverse music used to be. Haven’t heard this song in YEARS. Iggy was a legend 😉

Iggy opened for The Pretenders when I saw him. When Chrissy Hinde came out, she kissed the stage Iggy was on because he was performing shortly after rehab.

The most PUZZLED looks I’ve ever seen on LEX’s face. 🤔

Brad, don’t be confused. Try closing your eyes and just listening to, feeling the music.

The song is about trying to control addictions. I know the references he makes are based on a book, so those who aren't familiar with the book struggle to understand what it's about. I'm pretty sure he wrote this with David Bowie too. I'd probably classify it as a punk sub-genre, but can definitely hear Bowie's influence (and he's difficult to put into a genre). The movie Trainspotting, about addiction, made this song more popular than it was nearly 20 years earlier when it was initially released. Saw Iggy Pop open for Pearl Jam in 1997 or 1998... he was not happy with the uninterested crowd and cut his set short. Very few people seemed to notice.

Lmao loved the cringy awkward ending. I’m cracking up overhear trying not to wake up the house. Iggy Pop is like a Salvador Dali painting. It’s abstract and completely interpretative. Thank for the laugh. That was great.

Iggy blew me away when I saw him on DS9. He is so talented.

Check out ...the stooges "i wanna be your dog" its the band iggy used to be in :)....and you can't analyse every artist you react to because you come across someone like iggy and he's just on another planet 😂😂

The Godfather of Punk was lamenting his teenage son's behavior and his own promise to him. Iggy was pretty wild in his day, but his kid mellowed him out. Iggy incentivised his son's highschool graduation with a promise to take his son on the road with him. Iggy soon found his son to be twice the Wildman he had been and he tells the story in the song. Unfortunately, the song was also used for the drug movie, Trainspotting, so the video has a convoluted message.

Iggy was languishing in a mental facility around 1975 when David Bowie began visiting him. He took him along on the 1976 Station to Station tour and after that, they decided to kick drugs and record together in Europe. The first lp "the Idiot" is named after a book by Fyodor Dostoevsky. The second "Lust for Life" is named after an Irving Stone novel about Vincent van Gogh. The Idiot's cover is based on "The Scream", a painting by ‎Edvard Munch. Iggy and David recorded in chateau d'herouville, imagining themselves to be Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh, 2 artists with a connection to the chateau who often painted the same subject separately and did self portraits of each other. What David really was after was pioneering a new sound, including groundbreaking "treated" and electronic drums (Nightclubbing's beats were sampled by Nine Inch Nails's Trent Reznor on "Closer", without risking his own reputation. What he learned flowed over into the "LOW" sessions. He also discovered that iggy went into the studio with nothing and composed on the spot, a skill that Bowie used quite often going forward.

Search and Destroy is another great Iggy Pop song , with the Stooges.

Iggy Pop, invented the stage dive...he also drops trouser at every show.

This song is from 1977, but the video was made with clips from the movie "Trainspotting" that came out in 1996 because they put this song on the soundtrack.

I love how you both just look out into the air at the end then look at each other utterly confused ... its just Iggy man :D

Thank you for finally listening getting around to Iggy. He is so influential. Lots more of songs to discover. The Stooges I Wanna Be Your Dog is a banger. ✌❤

Iggy started as a drummer so if he dances wild or weird it's also he a crazy freak. It is punk/rock. His lyrics are pretty epic. You got it...he made it by the skin if his dogpaws.

I listened to the Stooges and Iggy in the 80’s… he is epic guys! Play this loud and jump around your lounge room!!! That is the only way you will have the full experience!

LOL...Iggy is 77 years old and one of the original Glam rockers. Hes in his 60s in this vid...it was in the movie train spotting which is the confusing scenes in the background.

This was fantastic reaction. Keeping it real. "I believe him when he said he's done a lot of drugs"

The Film Trainspotting was so great! And the Music too! A must see!

You should also try "The Passenger" off the same album as this. One of my favorite songs of that period.

I love Brad, at least he is totally honest when he is way out of his comfort zone, and any Iggy will put Brad out of his zone.

Lust for Life is living to the extreme, a celebration of going to the limits of poverty, fame, sexual, and chemical excess, and still going full-speed at life and enjoying it. In spite of, or because of, everything I have done, I STILL have a lust for life. This is poetry...a painting in sound and dance.

Lust for Life has one of the most... Can't think of the exact words, but its one of those songs I'll realise I'm physically "chair dancing" while listing to it, almost as if it was an involuntary thing to do when this song plays. The riff is so damn catchy and energetic. Better than any one of those dance songs made to be a dance song. As an aside, I always thought this song was about heroin use.

"I wanna be your dog" is my favorite Iggy Pop, when he was with The Stooges.

I think it's about a lust for life. Lol

You should try Talking Heads, Once in a lifetime if you want to see something really odd. But you have to react to their official video to get the full weirdness.

Iggy was the Singer from the STOOGES. And the Video is from the Movie Trainspoting.

This was a song he wrote after getting clean for awhile.

Oh wow…. Are you guys for real? This guy is a legend!

One of the best music videos ever!

I saw Iggy a bunch of times and he is fun live. In the mid 80s in Philly at the Chestnut Caberet, he got up on the bar and proceeded to dance down its length kicking over beers as he went!

YOU GUYS REACTION IS PRICELESS!!...DAVID BOWIE WROTE THE BASS LINE(song....music)...,,,...HE GOT IT FROM THE COMPUTER NOISES OFF THE AMERICAN ARMED SERVICE RADIO...OR RADIO FREE EUROPE...(something like that)...BOWIE WAS PRODUCING 2 ALBUMS A YEAR AT THAT TIME....1 FOR IGGY AND 1 FOR HIMSELF......THIS WAS DURING THE "BERLIN TRILOGY" YEARS.......THEY BOTH LIVED TOGETHER IN BERLIN....THE DRUMMER AND BASS PLAYER LATER WENT ON TO PLAY WITH BOWIE IN..."TIN MACHINE"....I DARE YOU TO REACT TO ..."UNDER THE GOD"...BY BOWIE AND TIN MACHINE.......I DARE YOU!!...I DOUBLE DARE YOU.....YOU HAVE NOT HEARD TIN MACHINE YET........LUST FOR LIFE IS A SARCASTIC SONG...THE BEST LINE IS..."OF COURSE IVE HAD IT IN THE EAR B4...ABOUT SOMETHING CALLED LOVE!..LOVE LOVE LOVE...THATS LIKE HYPNOTIZING CHICKENS"...............i like your channel

The song is from 1977, the video is scenes from Trainspotting (great movie), which in this case created extra confusion.

It is one of the building blocks of punk. The movie scenes in the background are from Trainspotting.

Iggy Pop, Grandfather of Punk Rock. Check out his albums with the Stooges, 'Raw Power', and 'Funhouse'

It was the main song for the movie Trainspotting which came out in 1996. The video is splicing in clips from the movie and shows the title of the movie a few times. It's about some heroin addicts, but it's a good one if you ever get a chance to see it

IP is the man! One of the most influential person in music most people have never heard of

I've heard this song described as "Half a big middle finger to the drugged out hedonistic rock life, half a passionate embrace of it"

Oooh love this song

This old tune was tapped to be the introduction song for a movie called Trainspotting (which I recommend HIGHLY) and the cut scenes in the video are from that movie.

The first time I’ve seen lex with a wtf look. Lol

Funniest ending ever! The confusion on your faces is priceless 😅🤣😅

You two were left shell shocked🤣

This song was used in _Trainspotting_ which they show scenes of in this video. It was also used in a commercial for Royal Carribbean Cruise Lines

“Gestures and stuff” ahahahhahahahaha! That’s Iggy for ya. My favorite frontman ever

lol he's been clean for a while, and he's actually pretty normal in real life.

Iggy’s drugs did drugs. Iggy is brilliant. His interviews were very insightful and introspective. He has moved across many genres. His segment in Bourdain’s was so poignant.

Bowie had just helped Iggy thru a nasty bottoming out. He produced this record for Iggy to help him get back on his feet. Later used in movie "Trainspotting" which was about heroin culture, from which much of the footage is from.

ITS FROM 80S AND FEATURED IN THE FILM TRAINSPOTTING SET IN SCOTLAND AND DRUGS THE FILM WAS IN 90S

Released in 1977 Produced by David Bowie. Written after Iggy an David cleaned up from their personal addictions in Berlin. The Film you see being played mixed into the video is Trainspotting the film that made Ewan McGregor famous.

Iggy Pop is "the" Underground music legend - and started as singer of the late 60ties band "The Stooges" and they made already "Punk music" almost a decade before Punk music as own genre even existed...Check out their song "I wanna be your dog" or "1969"...totally Punk but released in 1969

Punk 🎸 rock!

Congratulations! You’ve met Iggy 🤩.

The movie scenes used in this video are from the movie Trainspotting 1997, it is one of the best movies i have ever seen and the only movie that has ever handled drug addiction in a mature way.

Trainspotting, a Scottish movie about drug life in Edinburgh, Iggy Pop, punk legend

trainspotting might be one of the greatest soudtrack ever

Dude must have some great genetics because after the absolute torture he put himself through and the damage he did to himself he seems like he’s still mostly functioning well and looking decent. I can only imagine your faces seeing some of the shit he used to do to himself on stage back in the day.

Iggy is one of you're best exports, Trainspotting is the best film (movie to you) of the '90s! 🇬🇧

Damn, seeing all these Trainspotting clips reminded me what a great movie (and book series) it is. Truly Scotland's Star Wars! "Choose Life."

Iggy Pop and the Stooges! Punk rock before there was punk rock ! I’ve heard he had set himself on fire on stage before ! He’s a wild dude that’s for sure ! His song Candy I think it was , was a duet with one of the singers from the B52s is really a good song it’s more normal sounding than his usual stuff !

Iggy started playing punk in the 1960s. He was before anyone. This song was in the movie Trainspotting. Those scenes that aren't Iggy are from the movie. The soundtrack had a lot of punk artists.

He’s talking about how he’s enjoying life today, Iggy was a heavy drug addict and alcoholic, I’m pretty sure heroine was his main drug. He’s been clean and sober for many years. Eccentric is an understatement he’s a very entertaining person.

Iggy is the father of punk music - he helped originate the genre

Yea that’s Iggy. One of the best front men ever and a total free spirit. Has he done too many drugs? Oh, hell yea! He should be dead but has been clean for quite a while. Performing without a shirt is his hallmark. Despite being a serious drug abuser he’s always had like about two ounces of body fat and a six pack and is remarkably flexible which made for some very interesting stage shows. He used to be known for diving off stage into the crowd and body surfing as the crowd would pass him around and eventually they would throw him back up on stage and he’d be off and running again. Amazing he never had a heart attack during a performance with the energy he put out during a show. Iggy is someone you have to see live to really appreciate him. He is just absolutely beloved by his fans for his free spirit but he’s not exactly for everyone. He’s also one of the few Rock stars with a baritone voice. You either get Iggy and love him or you won’t. The great thing about an Iggy Pop performance is you never know what to expect. There’s an excellent video of Iggy body surfing during a performance and he has a jumbo sized jar of peanut butter and he’s dipping his hand into the jar and tossing globs of peanut butter into the audience and the crowd was loving it. The legendary Blues guitarist B.B. King after seeing an Iggy Pop performance famously said about Iggy “Who said White Boys can’t play the Blues?”. LOL So you can’t really put Iggy into a genre. Which is why he was never commercially successful you just kinda have to accept him for who he is but his live performances are dope even though he’s in his 70’s now and, yep…he still performs without a shirt.

THE STRANGLERS "GOLDEN BROWN",, "WALK ON BY",, "SKIN DEEP" & "STRANGE LITTLE GIRL"

Lust for Life was used as one of the songs on the soundtrack of "Trainspotting". A film about a bunch of Scottish junkies that just live from day to day, and end up in a mess. Iggy Pop the lead singer of the Stooges was singing about the chaos of living life on the road as a musician, being a junky hooked on heroin, and trying to keep up with your own crazy stage image. The film and the song kind of collide in meaning

This was 1977, I think, and I heard it on college radio and quit listening to top 40 radio. Oh, and David Bowie collaborated on the album.

The video is clips from the film Trainspotting, iggy has been going for years formally with a cult band the stooges, brilliant performer, and he's one of those folks you think " how the fuck is he still alive" 😂 brilliant all the same though!

"It could have been in a movie." You just watched highlights of said movie in the video 😂

Trainspotting is a 90's movie about a group of heroin addicts and Lust For Life was featured on the soundtrack. Video features a bunch of scenes from the movie. Iggy is punk rock

You should find the video of Iggy preforming with his band The Stooges in Cincinnati in 1970 at an outdoor festival. He goes out into the crowd and someone hands him a jar of peanut butter. He rubs some on his chest and then starts throwing handfuls of peanut butter into the crowd. That's the kind of craziness Iggy has provided for over 5 decades.

All the scenes that don't have him in it are from a British film called Trainspotting with Ewan Mcreggor. It's about drug addiction and one young man's quest to stay clean. "Choose life" is one of the catchphrases from the film. This track was just part of the theme music from the film.

Watching your faces made this the best reaction video ever. The stunned confusion is exactly what Iggy was going for. I literally LOL'd.

Goodness!! Ramones & then Iggy Pop!! Good stuff!!

That is a video after they used the song for the movie Trainspotting. Iggy did this originally with David Bowie's input in the early/mid 1970's. Iggy is a wild ride!

Iggy Pop is a punk music icon, he's been around for a long time. Brad's reaction is like what mine is to hip hop. I just don't get it.

Felt compelled to share: I literally just watched the same video y'all reacted to days ago for the first time. I am familiar with Iggy Pop and this is the only song I could have named, but yeah ~ he's out there. I think the genre fits comfortably with his fans as not for everyone; i.e. you don't have to love us, sit back and enjoy the weird energy.

The song is about heroin addiction, and getting over it. Had it in the ear before references shooting up. The song was used in the film "Trainspotting", which is where the clips in the video originated. It has also been used in many commercials, including American Express and a cruise line.

Punk rock for the win!

You so need to watch Iggy's live performances - i recommend the Avenue B show in Belgium. The energy Iggy and his band generate is insane.
