Ya gotta check out the song Candy by Iggy Pop and Kate Pearson from the B-52'S.. SUCH A GREAT DUET!!!! ✌️ FROM PENNSYLVANIA

The use of Lust for Life in the opening moments of Trainspotting was one of the most brilliant moments in cinema. Also, that's Bowie doing background vocals. Their careers crossed over in the 70's with Bowie producing Pop's music and Iggy writing some songs that Bowie covered like China Girl and Tonight. Please do Pop's Candy. Kate Pierson is featured and her vocals are amazing.

You don’t separate Iggy Pop. Him and the music go completely together. In regards to the drugs he’s on. This song is about the joy of him becoming drug free.

Iggy Pop is the other side of the coin named David Bowie...Sex Drugs and Rock n Roll. Legend

Traditionally, when artists are inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, they perform at the ceremony. In 2008, when Madonna was inducted, she requested Iggy Pop and his band the Stooges perform in her stead, as a protest to the Hall of Fame for not inducting the Stooges despite their being nominated several times. The following year, it was announced the Stooges would finally be inducted.

Iggy Pop is sometimes referred to as the "Godfather of Punk" and you can see why. Love this song. It has been a few commercials in the past. Cool reaction guys. It's been a while since you were really shocked!🤪🤪🤪🤪

I love this song. Iggy Pop is an Icon. You guys should listen to "I wanna be your Dog" by the Stooges the band that Iggy Pop was in

I was at a pretenders concert and Iggy Pop was the back up band, after he was finished Chrissie Hynde came out and knelt down, she then said "I just want to kiss the stage Iggy Pop was on and she did.Iggy was fantastic!, and they played this song.Great concert!

The first concert I attended was Iggy Pop and the Stooges. They opened for Alice Cooper in 1971 at the auditorium theatre in Chicago

One of my favorite Iggy Pop songs is actually a cover another band did of his song The Passenger. The band is Siouxsie & the Banshees. My jaw will hit the floor the day you guys get into them. They are deep cut 80s alt rock that started out in the 70s punk scene.

David Bowie produced two albums for Iggy Pop and they're both classics.

Iggy is such a legend, othe Iggy and The Stooges bangers include I Wanna Be Your Dog, Nightclubbing, Real Wild Child, I'm Bored and 1969 all such great songs

Iggy is a legend and he survived everything, i like to think he will outlive us all. He' is present in instagram and makes videos with his parrot. Such a character. He represents freedom, rebellion, and the underground like no other. No wonder he was there when punk was born and inspired many that came next. David Bowie was one of his closest friends. When he was having rough times in the 80s and had debt, Bowie released China Girl, which was written by Iggy Pop so to help with the royalty income. There is movie called Velvet Goldmine, which is inspired by David Bowie and the Glam Rock genre from the 70s, that has Ewan Mcgregor (ObiWan from episodes 1 to 3 of star wars) playing a musician based upon Iggy pop and Ewan sings his songs there. By the way, this is from the soundtrack to Trainspotting, a great movie from the 90s, it could be very shocking cause it is about the junkies taking heroin in Scotland and it also has Ewan Mcgregor as a main man.

Iggy Pop is a punk godfather! He is one of the few people I would probably get a little starstruck over if I met him in person. I would also suggest you check out his songs "Real Wild Child", "I Wanna Be Your Dog", "Repo Man", "Loves Missing", "American Vahalla" & "Tonight". But, I have to say, my punk girl heart died a little bit when this song was used in tv commercials for a cruise line a few years ago.

Iggy Pop is a rock icon. He was punk rock before the term punk rock was invented. Also he was the first person to do a stage dive into the crowd. He and Bowie were friends and featured in a lot of each others songs. Iggy started in the late 60's as the lead singer for The Stooges. He's never slowed down and is still rockin today.

Iggy Pop appears in the John Waters film Cry Baby ( which is a musical starring Johnny Depp,Ricki lake, Traci Lords & more)

Iggy Pop is another one of the more colorful characters that emerged onto the scene in the sixties but is mostly known for his comeback in the seventies. Born James Osterberg, he became Iggy because of his time playing in The Iguanas, a local neighborhood band from Ann Arbor, Michigan. A fairly competent drummer, Iggy saw a Doors concert in 1966 and became fascinated with Jim Morrison's ability to communicate with the audience. From then on he worked on becoming a front-man with a few fellow dropouts thus forming The Stooges. As a child, his parents were teachers and lived in a trailer parked near cornfields in the outskirts of Ypsilanti near Ann Arbor. A very perceptive child, and taunted by kids in school for living in a trailer, Iggy learned to be distrustful of people at a very early age. All signs suggest that he did not have the emotional maturity to deal with the minor success that he gained with The Stooges in 1969-70. The whole band minus the guitarist became heavy heroin addicts which effectively destroyed their carriers. Through David Bowie who admired Iggy's stage presence RCA signed Iggy Pop which gave The Stooges a second wind. But alas, still junkies, the band managed to release one last album (produced by Bowie) in 1973 then fizzle out mid 1974. Iggy spent the better part of 1974-75 cleaning up in a mental institution. Once out and about Iggy and Bowie, who himself was in the process of cleaning up from his addiction to cocaine, gave each other moral support to stay clean. Bowie helped Iggy orchestrate a comeback. Bowie produced Iggy Pop's first solo album 'The Idiot' (Mar77) and the follow-up album 'Lust For Life' (Set77). Iggy Pop promoted the album by touring the US playing small theaters and the occasional TV show with a small four piece band having David Bowie as the pianist and backing vocalist. That Bowie, already world renown, toured in Iggy's band as such a minor player speaks to their friendship. Bowie's relationship with Iggy, a man notorious for not trusting people, is an example of kindness that I suspect had a positive effect on James Osterberg's psych. Regardless, Iggy Pop became a respected artist from the eighties onwards to this date. There is plenty of footage to see him on stage as a young man and as an old man. As frontmen go, he is always a very wild active act to catch.

He did "Nightclubbing" with David Bowie, another must do. Both of these songs were on the soundtrack for the movie "Trainspotting." It's a great, great movie, but it's very intense.

Iggy is one of those people who you just look at and wonder "how on earth did you survive?" A legend of the music scene on and off stage. You do need to check out more, lots of good suggestions in the comments.

Jay & Amber, you'd like his "Candy" (with Kate Pierson)!! You know Kate Pierson, the redhead from the B-52's!!

Y’all should do “Wild One” next 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽😊

For some reason (don't ask me why because I have no idea) this song always reminds me of "Goody Two Shoes" by Adam Ant, so maybe you should put that one on your list too!!

'Real Wild Child' is my favorite Iggy Pop song. You might recognize it from the movie 'Pretty Woman.' That was a cover, though, and you have to listen to Iggy Pop's version.

Iggy Pop, Blondie, and The Talking Heads were some of the biggest influences on the American Punk scene. Pretty much all of those New York underground bands of the 1970s were just going against the music industry. They got sick of being rejected by Music Labels and Concert Promoters, so they played underground clubs like CB-GBs and found their audience.

Detroit's own Iggy Pop started out with The Stooges in the late 60s and early 70s. It was Punk before Puink and a huge influence on UK Glam and Art Rock artists, ESPECIALLY Bowie, who helped produce the last Stooges album (Raw Power, 1973). Iggy recorded two albums cowritten and produced by David Bowie in 1977 in Berlin, including the parent LP for this track, also called Lust for Life and The Idiot. "Lust for Life" turned the classic Motown beat (that bassline is everywhere in Pop and Rock and can be traced back to The Supremes "You Can't Hurry Love"). "Lust for Life" is probably Iggy's best-known track because it's just so fun. And since it came out in Punk Rock's big year (1977) it was largely associated with the early UK Punk movement (even though Iggy is from the US). So, while the song it from 1977, this video is from twenty years later and the iconic 1996 Trainspotting film soundtrack. At this point, Iggy was well into middle-age, but still couldn't find his shirt. I'm not sure I've ever seen him wearing a shiert, actually. LOL This was the original version of the song, but it became a much bigger hit 20 years after it came out because of the success of Trainspotting (the film that gave us Ewan MacGregor). The song and film were both inspired by heroin abuse (good call, Amber!), as Iggy was cleaning up in Berlin when he teamed up with Bowie for his two best albums Lust for Life and The Idiot. He's commonly associated with Bowie, but his own brand of Art Rock is more chaotic, for sure. Try "The Passenger" or the original version of "China Girl" next. Now y'all need to check out some EARLY Roxy Music for a fuller picture of 70s Art Rock. I recommend "Virginia Plain", "Pyjamarama", or "Ladytron" to start with.

This song was in 'Trainspotting' 1996 -an intense movie, but I wouldn't want to see Amber & Jay cry.

So the video has scenes from the movie Trainspotting that the song was heavily featured in. One of my favorite songs and movies of all time.

“Passenger” by Iggy might be the most emotional song in my life. It’s so nostalgic. It brings me back to some of my best times that I would do anything to get back.

The Ramones - I wanna be sedated

That might be a great movie reaction for you. Intense to say the least but very powerful & dramatic. Great acting by a very young Ewan McGreger.

I highly recommend Shades and Candy by Iggy Pop & Kate Pearson from the B-52'S, both from the album in the 80’s. I saw him with The Pretenders and his show is amazing. He & Bowie can imitate each others voices perfectly and he tells about them covering each other in the studio in the 70s when one was too hung over. He then did Let’s Dance & you couldn’t tell it wasn’t Bowie. Great show.

He was completely sober in this video. He’s always hyper! He was 50 when this video was filmed! The song is quite literally about getting clean, and finding a new “lust for life”. So, it made sense to use this song in a movie about a gang of hooligans, strung out on heroin. The movie is *Trainspotting*, and you two should totally do a reaction to the movie!

Iggy is 100% energy! I randomly caught him at a festival and was really impressed by his stage presence.

I LOVED this reaction, guys. Especially Amber's "yeah, he gave us a moment." 😂

"Lust For Life" was co-written by David Bowie and Bowie played piano on it.

As the kids today would say, Iggy Pop is an entire vibe. Like someone else said previously in the comments, though the song talks about that wild rocker lifestyle, it's ultimately about putting an end to that ( at least the drugs part) and embracing sobriety. Though the song was released in the 70s, this music video was made in '96 for the movie "Trainspotting", which is about a group of young men in Scotland struggling, with all caps, to also find sobriety. I've always loved the upbeat vibe of the song. It's a great driving song, too; just dont speed, because the song might make you want to.

You guys have to do his duet with The B-52s' Kate Pierson, "Candy" next Great song.

1) Iggy invented *Crowd Surfing* at 1970's Cincinnati Summer Pop Festival 2) David Bowie quit at height of his fame to tour as Iggy's piano player 3) Mainstream Acceptance after releasing cover song - *Iggy Pop - Real Wild Child (Wild One)* 4) I'd rented home covered in bazaar paintings by Iggy - landlord an Iggy Pop groupie in Vancouver

Iggy Pop is a legend and has actually made some of his best music within the last several years. He started out in a band called the Stooges who were essentially a pre-punk band.

Iggy!!!! Ahhh. This album introduced me to punk in 1977, ... I was 15 ! I got it because Bowie was such a big part of it and was helping to promote it on tv. The Stooges (Iggy's initial band) were one of the biggest influences in punk... going back to the late 60s. He is pretty known for cutting loose .... like no inhibition dancing, not really dancing, but expressing. He is being pretty fun in this video( for the movie trainspotting) and he has plenty of fun songs. But look again at the lyrics. He is pretty deep in most of his songs. He is definitely a serious artist and his music has lots of different moods. The album Lust for Life is incredibly rich. Turn Blue and Some Weird Sin are 2 of my favorite songs. And he actually has a great voice. He has a huge, wonderful catalog of work. Good, good music. He is a force. Raw power. But let's not forget : Search and Destroy, Five foot One, Eggs on My Plate, Pumping for Jill, Bang-Bang, Real Wild Child, Repo Man(theme song)....He also wrote David Bowie's hit, China Girl. The list goes on and on. A Legend!

I SO love when J isn’t crazy about a song … there is a very specific look on his face and it cracks me up! (You don’t have to like everything you hear) 😂

Iggy has always been at his best musically when he's just purely being an agent of chaos. He's done some good "mainstream" stuff, mostly in collaboration with Bowie, but his classic stuff, both solo and with the Stooges, has been when he just throws the rule book out the window and goes for it. He's also incredibly intelligent and well-read. I'd love the chance to just hang out with him, smoking some weed, having a few drinks, and talking about whatever. There will never be another Iggster. Period.

Iggy is definitely a character! He’s considered the grandfather of punk. He was big in the mid to late 70s and early 80. He has kind of stayed in the music scene through the years still releasing a lot of music but not at his earlier popularity. He had several big collaborations such as David Bowie but in more recent years with Green Day and Ke$ha.

I'm loving all these comments here. There is so much I never knew before. This song is sooooooooo good. So so good. I'd recommend listening to the whole Trainspotting soundtrack that this video features. It's brilliant. Great reaction video❤

This was such a funny reaction!! You guys had a look of shock and awe the whole time! 😂😂😂

On my playlist in heavy rotation. Love Iggy so much. Oh and he's not on any drugs here.

Iggy Pop is just Iggy Pop. LOVE your reaction!

I saw Iggy Pop and the Stooges in 1986 the show starts Iggy runs on stage and never stopped for 3hrs. until he left the stage covered in sweat and blood, and with a smile on his face, he did like a 10 min. version of Lust for Life.

I'm worth a million in prizes! 😎 My fave Iggy Pop song! ♥

Dudes! Iggy is The GODFATHER of Punk - Yes he an Bowie collaborated in the late 60's early 70's. Lust for Life was released in 1977. This video was shot in 1996 as part of the Trainspotting soundtrack, hence, the movie clips. This song had NO VIDEO until almost 20 years after it's release. This song will still be listened and referenced 100 years from now.

HAD ME SMILIN' BEFORE I CLICKED ON THE VIDEO!!! 🤣 IGGY POP was AWESOME!!! 🔥🤍☮

Dance like no one’s watching! That’s IGGY POP on the surface. He’s the crazy legend & the Godfather of Punk.

Iggy pop and David Bowie, where best of mates ,Iggy is truly an original, one of a kind.

Pop and Bowie were very good friends. In the years 1976 - 1978 they both lived in Berlin, at times even sharing a flat. Bowie produced Iggy's albums The Idiot and Lust for Life, wrote most of the music on Lust for Life, played keyboards and piano and in some songs his background vocals can be heard very clearly. I love both Iggy and David!

He almost got me killed at the ACL festival one year when Iggy invited 30000 people to come up on stage. I was in the front row and the crowd was pressing forward and climbing over people.

Awesome ✌️ thanks Jay and Amber, you guys make me smile 😃 everyday 🎵⛽️✌️

Iggy's performance of "Real wild Child" on the David Letterman show is one for the ages.

He is actually clean and sober here. Iggy is totally, authentically himself. There are conccert footage videos of him performing this back in his drug days. Now those are wild.

Iggy was sober at this point, and he still is today. He's just wacky as he is, and he was acting in a video made for a song that was revived for a move about scottish drug addicts in the 90's... love him, and his songwriting (check it out, he has his hand in a lot of hit songs), and for me he will always be the wild child.

Iggy Pop, along with MC5, really kicked off punk rock way back in the 1960s. They just slapped a label on it in 1977, and it exploded--but everything had already been happening for years. (Same with Disco; it had been an underground thing for years before it went commercial.)

Iggy Pop is a legend. His live shows are epic. Check out the video Iggy Pop and the Teddy Bears, Punkrocker.

The original punk rocker. Back in the 70s, my high school rock band played a dance at the high school his dad taught at in Michigan, and all the kids there called his dad "Iggy's Pop". Hilarious.

Iggy Pop is the Godfather of Punk and actually got his start in the late '60s. If you haven't done so already, check out his first famous band, The Stooges (maybe hit up the tunes I Wanne Be Your Dog or Search and Destroy).

When Iggy was the singer for the Stooges back in the late 60's, he said the band lacked energy, so he started jumping around doing somersaults and acting like a crazy monkey and all of a sudden, the band came alive and was vibrant and energetic. Iggy never quit dancing!

Iggy Pop and David Bowie shared an apartment in Berlin at one time. Iggy was searching for a hit song; Bowie scribbled a song down, played the tune for him and said: "Here you are. Call it Lust for Life".

This man is LEGENDARY! He's considered the godfather of punk! BTW, he and Bowie recorded the same song, "China Girl", at different times because they composed it together (both are worth to have a look at, but I'd suggest you start with Iggy's version first). Also, Iggy's "Real Wild Child", "Little Know It All" and "The Passenger" are a blast! He guested in a song by Peaches called "Kick It" too, of which the video is really fun to watch, and he also has a couple of other interesting duets with some other 'special guests' for the songs "Well Did You Evah!" and "Candy". I won't reveal who because I don't want to spoil it ;)

The Grand Daddy of Punk rock

The Stooges and MC5 were way ahead of their time. Gotta love Iggy. One of life's survivors. And love the Motown rhythm - well, he is a Michigander.

Iggy is a nation treasure! He’s “The Passenger”!

HE IS A CAR WRECK.... I have listened to him for 50 years ...

Listening to Iggy Pop while wearing a John Denver T-shirt. Man I love this channel!

Iggy is great! If you want a more “pop” version of Iggy, check out his 80’s song “Cry for Love.” Also, the clips from Trainspotting remind me of another of Iggy’s pals you need to check out. Do some Lou Reed. “Perfect Day” is incredible!!!

My goodness , strong Scottish flavour tonight - Waterboys and Trainspotting.

Love iggy

Iggy! He was just like that live....bundle of nervous energy and almost feral. His solo stuff is good to great...but The Stooges are where he knocked down the walls and entered new territory. Give "TV Eye" from the release ""Funhouse" a spin. You'll get the full iguana then :)

Parts of the video include scenes from Trainspotting. He also does the intro song on Bowie's The Hunger movie (also excellent). You must do the duet with Iggy and Kate Pearson - Candy

Iggy's live 1980 Paris concert "Kiss My Blood" is Iggy at his best. He never stops moving in Concert!

Iggy was totally sober in this video. The hard stuff was from all the decades before and yes it was the hardest of hard. The thing is, although verrry weathered, he stayed in great shape.

They use that song in TV commercials and movie trailers all the time. Yes, you've had it in your ear before. 😂

I first heard this song because of Trainspotting and instantly loved it. The song goes so well with the movie because it’s all about choosing life

Iggy is always a ball of energy.Great song.

This Song was re-released and is featured in the movie Trainspotting (1996)

I knew this reaction would be funny, but y'all exceeded my expectations 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

IGGY!!!

Iggy Pop is from my home state, Michigan...proudly. I believe he's from Muskegon. Many sports programs use the riff from this song. 🎶 *Iggy RULES!*

Punk maestro- what did you expect guys - he is and was a one off -

Yes I'm talking about Romeo void singing never say never . So there

The lead actor in "Trainspotting", the movie whose scenes punctuated this video, later played the Iggy Pop character in "Velvet Underground", about the early days of Glam Rock and its androgyny. It starred a young Christian Bale as a young journalist fascinated with the film's David Bowie character.

Yeah...Iggy's a trip!

The Godfather of Punk! All of his stuff is great.

Iggy = Legend.

a little of old school punk...Iggy and David bowie were good friends and they worked a lot together. Iggy is just in a class by himself...long live the king

Iggy Pop, the Grandfather of American Punk music. And he also appeared as a Vorta (alien), in a very funny episode of Star Trek Deep Space 9, which just catapults him to another universe.🖖

The Stooges first 3 albums are the out of the box Iggy and a lot more. Try the song "Dirt" which inspired Alice In Chains sound, Alice In Chains named their second album Dirt as a nod to The Stooges.

Another favourite. Iggy live was always unpredictable, but you got your money's worth.

God bless Iggy Pop. A bunch of Brits heard his albums with his band The Stooges and said hey, let create punk rock. This is what you get if Mick Jagger had come from Michigan and not from art school. You had nothing to say about "I'm just a modern guy/of course I've had it in the ear before"? Or "We dance like hypnotized chickens"? There may be equally memorable lyrics in the rock pantheon. But not a whole lot that are further out of left field. Iggy may have been the inventor of stage diving. In 1970-something. I'm not a big fan of most of his music but you gotta show respect where it's due.

Iggy serving a full plate .

Remember Well! I think the 'Lust for Life' part has been used in more than one commercial, and probably in a film or two also. I'd say it's Energetic, and 'Snappy' :) Fun Reaction, You Guys! :)

Oh wow, two amazing songs (and artists) back to back. I love Iggy Pop! I named my first car, a1970 Ford Maverick, “Iggy”! And while he has a good repertoire of songs, there’s an odd duck one I think y’all should try; Candy by Iggy and Kate Pierson from the B-52’s. And this personality in the video is ALL Iggy! I managed to cross the mosh pit and get to the stage to witness all of this up close and personal, one of the most amazing concert experiences for me. He’s into his fans too, making a point to high five and make eye contact. Thanks for the wonderful channel guys!

I lived on South Beach Miami in late 90s. Was walking down street sunrise one morning after the 365 night a year "Studio 54 times a thousand" (-SoBe Mayor) had died down. Sidewalk was deserted. Only one other dude was walking toward me. He was barefoot & shirtless. I looked up as he approached & it was none other than Iggy fukn Pop! Wouldn't be surprising except he was all alone. If he hadn't been shirtless i would've thought it a lookalike. I say it, because Iggy extraterrestrial!😅 i just said take it easy bro, & he said you too & we walked on. I still thought for a while maybe i was mistaken. Then a couple years later i saw an episode of Anthony Bourdain & he was hanging with Iggy at his pad in Miami & running round SoBe. Being a punk rocker myself, it was an honor! Rock On! 🤘🌎❤
