Time to get this out of the way!
this is the greatest rock song ever made. The thing about the other greats⊠led zeppâŠ. pink floyd⊠uh⊠the beatles? idk who else to considerâŠ. and im purposefully not talking about the rolling stones BECAUSE this song is very stones inspired- but the big difference (as pointed out by lester bangs) is that while Jagger primps and preens, iggy writhes around and dares you to take a look at what it means to be horny, confused, dirty, no-dream, no-promise, no-skill, no-nothing. the real animus of the end of the fever dream sixties- that mask comes off and you get just a gaping and confused id. Ok those other bands i mention can rock, but i dont think i ever really feel their music in my guts⊠itâs more like a head high, wow far out man shadows are taller than our souls! thatâs a cool wall made of bricks!
this is like a whole psychosexual unmasking- the hippies preferred making love, but i think everyone really just likes to fuck if you know what i mean!
like why did it take someone so long to just come out and sing so messed up / i want you here? Isnt that just the most honest way of expressing yearning�
this has the velvet undergroundâs errrr s&m âsexinessâ but i just believe it more. way more. like being a teenager and getting that first real confusing, world shattering, despondent crush. itâs Primal.
You just cant beat that riff either.
just give it a listen.

It was really this song that convinced me of the greatness of The Stooges. Not I Wanna Be Your Dog, not Gimme Danger.
Itâs just pure grimey, slimey, smokey, ashed out, liquor soaked cool.
that wah-wah guitar is sick. The bass, too. And then youâve Iggy, whoâs practically (and probably was) down on his knees with the mic. Itâs a steamy and desperate, almost ~almost~ tender performance thatâs soaked in sex.

It's taken from, of all things, a Little Caesars commercial (the dog has been taught to howl "I love you").

If you were MCA, Adrock and Mike D -- stoned and hanging out in Los Angeles at your new studio-cum-indoor skatepark -- what better thing to add to your new banger than a snippet from a pizza commercial?
Man do I ever miss the Beasties.

this is probably one of my favorite new york albums, if not #1 for me.
