  General Comment:I'm pretty sure this song is about night clubbing. xD
  These lyrics hold absolutely no value, but... such a kickass song...

  General Comment:i think it might be about the cold war. if you know where the idiot was recorded it kinda makes sence. but needless to say iggy was a bit of a party animal so it could be litral.

  General Comment:lou reed doesn't sing on this or any other iggy pop song...all of those voices are iggy's. the "stoned guitar part" was played by david bowie, who ended up playing most of the instruments on the album. i like the story about how just the two of them recorded the song after the other musicians had left the studio, and while iggy said he was happy with it the way it was, david suggested real drums would sound better. iggy disagreed and defended the drum machine: "it kicks ass! it's better than a drummer!" and the rest, as they say, is a song that trent reznor sampled the kick drum from.

    kinda funny considering iggy started off as a blues drummer, and has talked about having to "feel" every note you play.

  General Comment:The second vocals are by the man himself Lou Reed- his entry is probably the sleaziest moment in music ever. genius.

  General Comment:Great great great song ! Iggy's vocals are really good, especially on the second half, when they're much more nasal... Is it Mick Ronson who played that stoned guitar part ? And what a perfect beat ! I particularly love the line : 'Night clubbing we're night clubbing / We're an ice machine'

  General Comment:like a continuation of Bowie's "Fashion", this takes the piss out of 70's cocaine-induced, shallow, "look-at-me" disco nightlife. And all the while Bowie and Pop are both contributing their part...
  I love the zombie-ish, brainless, monotone voice Pop has here, especially the unenthusiastic "Oh isn't it wild?". Surely Berlin-inspired...
