Iggy Pop and the Stooges, “My Idea of Fun”

Posted on the 19 December 2013 by Calvinthedog

From 2007!

This album was heavily panned, in fact, most critics said it might ruin the band’s reputation. It was a reunion album after the band had been broken up for over 30 years. Scott and Ron Asheton are still on bass and guitar, and that is really what makes the band right there. Mike Watt from the Minutemen is on bass. He’s great! Listen to the bass line in this song. It sounds like Joy Division from 1981.

I really like this song a lot. I even love the lyrics. Do you think I’m ok?

Attention thrills
And then it kills
They make you king
Then make you ill
Till you’re alone
Dead on your throne
So my idea of fun is killing everyone
My idea of fun is killing everyone
Now is the season for war with no reason
Now is the season for war with no reason
They break your skin
When you’re a kid
They steal your soul
And keep it hid
And that is why
I hate mankind
My idea of fun is killing everyone
My idea of fun is killing everyone
