Iggy Pop - Five Foot One

[TheBikerCheese]

It just keeps being ballsack! Love it!

[kfagduo]

another classic Iggy track, have come to realise I like grunters, groaners, screamers and pissed off vibes in my music, if that makes me a closet punk then so be it!

[FrontmanVideo]

He reminds me a lot of Lux Interior in this video. Awesome video!

[TheBikerCheese]

It's still ballsack! Oh yeah!

[cartmammainia]

Oh my god. He actually has a shirt on.

[crapple009]

@cartmammainia Well, for only 49 sec., he does ;-)

[sidvishnou]

comme quoi on peut faire un clip qui dechire avec peu de moyen (avec iggy of course)

[guitarjon11765]

Wow, this brings back memories and makes me wonder what I forgot...

[fluxblocker]

6 dislikes? 6 people need psychiatric help!

[gotham61]

@fluxblocker 6 people are shorter than 5ft 1.

[TheBikerCheese]

Oh, ballsack again.

[ChimeraAZ]

ps,..his teeth dont look like that either. HeHe.

[ChimeraAZ]

I dont know,..when he hugged me,back in the 70's,he didnt seem that short.He was about my height,and I am 5'5".

[TheBikerCheese]

What, still ballsack? Oh yeah!

[JamesBStudios]

IGGY FUCKING YEAH, LOVE YOU MAN

[DeeDonner]

Jimmy O. the pride of Southeastern Michigan.

[JamesBStudios]

@DeeDonner

FUCK YEHA!

[TheUnseenguy]

WTF

[MrCalvin1612]

I first heard this when I was in high school, it convinced me that there actually were some cool people in the world. There are plenty of people who play act at being a 'rock and roll star', but Iggy is the real deal, he is the definition of the crazy side of rock and roll.

[TheBikerCheese]

@MrCalvin1612 Yeah, him and ballsack.

[irishyankeenut]

Iggy, hopped up on the best dope money could buy..........He was way ahead of his time!!!!!

[TheNouveauxdecadence]

My fav moment by Mr Pop

[bdrHe354]

i wonder how much the production set cost



[efan2011]

I looked at at Sweedish Playboy once, trust me I did not look at the articles

[StreetandBabeShadow]

does it really matter if he's 5 foot 1 or 5 or 7 and a half or whatever it is and if he washes his teeth or not? I mean, what I know and can acknowledge is that he is a fucking genius and that he iswas, indeed, absolutely hot, so fuck off and enjoy.

[asmzmoatllb]

@StreetandBabeShadow I concur :P

[messthetics]

@StreetandBabeShadow I think it's great that you could have teeth like that in 1979 and get away with it.

[StreetandBabeShadow]

@messthetics the funny thing is he didn't! He just made them look like that for the vid because Iggy Pop got his teeth replaced on 1974/5 and then missed one in 1980 but soon replaced it again, so his teeth were always quite as decent as he has them now (fuck I sound like a real obsessive person knowing facts about his teeth, sorry mate).

[Einvestigator96]

@StreetandBabeShadow

No, actually there´s some nice information in your comment =)

[peebyrne]

iggy is sick both sense of the word

[lewiskvin]

thumbs up if you're 131,300 viewer :)

[funnybuggy1]

I've met and spoken with Iggy at least a dozen times in the last 20 years. He is 5' 5" (at the most). How do I know? I'm 5' 3" and we talk 'face to face" ... believe me, I barely look up to talk to him!

[Mortslake]

I wish these norwegian magazines could be translated to swedish..

[bogeybast]

This awesome arrangement inspired a garage trio to perform it on stage a number of times. Our 6'2" bassist sang it as I recall. Those were some crazy daze.

[undeadgods]

and his teeth?

[JKRowling123]

He's 5'7½ everybody's who's asking :)

[buschnic61]

Thanks so much Ig for your music ..

[adrianeaglrck]

your great you can't see how old and over tanned your skin is

[adrianeaglrck]

put a shirt on iggy your 100 years old now

[Koolkitties]

What the hell; what the heck.

[BobbyEnergy]

Zombie Pop lol.

[shoeboy59]

Ahh, college days. Kinda looks like my dorm room, too.

[dahleric74]

Awesome..Iggy should die for American Idol..but this stuff is underrated.

[sonnytomorrow]

look @ that dental hygene! Someones been eating oreos & not brushing.

[MrFloydianSlip]

@sonnytomorrow Heroin rots your teeth.

[Jefgg]

Iggy should write a follow up about his body fat percentage. It might be below 5%. He has always been very lean. Iggy never got fat, literally or figuratively. I can't believe he will be 64 years old in a few days. I hope he pissed away all his money so that he will never be tempted to retire.

[Jefgg]

@crusheroftheist Iggy is listed in biographies as 5'7" but those are not accurate. I wonder what his drivers license says if he has one. He almost definitely has a passport. Even though those documents list height it isn't like they actually measure you.

[sexyAkoshiaMoka]

WTF!!!!??? Is he in a fuckin crazy person home??????? (cuz he sure as hell should be!!!..0.0)

[theRCRchannel]

gotta get me a smoke tunnel

[Jefgg]

I think Iggy Pop is about 5'7". In this video he looks like David Banner trying not to turn into the Hulk. 

[sternfanmisha]

@Jefgg

LOL, I've never heard a better description than that.

[VanessaSills]

I like it. It's so random it actually makes sense. It's so Iggy!

Plus the concept of the hall and the colors and fog together looks A-MAZING!

FUCK YEAH! XD

[23Henrich]

not one of my favorite Iggy videos...

[rwjize]

i thoght he was having a seizure all through out the vid

[crapple009]

@rwjize more like, all throughout his career ;-)

[Flipper79able]

Iggy is Santa Claus. He's making a list and checking it twice. He's going to find out who's naughty and nice.

[JustAnotherDrummerJG]

0:44 ahh... should of seen that coming XD

Didn't even realize he was wearing a t-shirt.

[adenola]

Junkie.

[SteveTheVirgin38]

I AM A VIRGIN

[SK1974ification]

Heroin is a helluva drug. Yeesh

[tacomadc]

Such an awesome video - perfect.

[Jack2daBeat]

the stooges are great but iggy solo is no where close

[Plasticsoul]

My favorite Iggy solo album!

[SuperKingNova]

Dude look evil lolx........... he freaking rulez

[TheCSteve]

This is sooo cool .. Grtz C.Steve

[WarGodIII]

IGGY IS THE GOD OF PUNK!!! AMEN!!!

[BiGLoS2212]

I love the live version of this song better. Best stage performer ever!

[technicality11]

He's got a strong incredible hulk look going on here.

[vixenmusique]

@technicality11 - The Incredible Hulk - good one. I'm only surprised that he didn't strip down further - ladies' pantyhose were one of his tricks when he opened for the Stones in '81 - not that I remember too many details...

[Fashizle20]

The Man!!!

[moirajean8]

When Iggy comes to you, to find out who's naughty or nice. Which side are you gonna be on ?

[pussypop100]

pure class

[sparky7718]

His dentist is retired and drives a Bentley.

[testerz123456]

he really was only 5' 1"

[DrDespicable]

@testerz123456 No - 5' 7 1/2". Probably he just felt 5' 1", sometimes...

[76sagi]

Never heard the New Values record... How is it? As good as the Idiot and LFL? Just curios...

[ConnieLynchitz]

@76sagi

Better than the idiot, perhaps not as brilliant as lust. Matter of personal opinion, New Values is my fave Iggy album outside of the stooges.

[MudokonAbe]

@ConnieLynchitz

better than The idiot? i think The idiot is way better...... btw everything iggy made is fucking gold XD

[jlovebirch]

Saw this, once (along with 'I'm Bored") back in 1979 on a late night music show. Have wanted to see it again ever since. Thanks for ending the suspense after 31 years. The New Values tour was Iggy at his peak. Exciting, dangerous concerts that often exploded into a frenzy of violence. He had the power to make audiences go wild. And still does, on a good night.

[Ironsixx]

The closest my life gets to being swedish magazines is looking through the Ikea catalog...

[davecote69]

@Ironsixx *chuckle*  Awesome.

[donesol]

@Ironsixx Yeah I think the video was filmed in one of their clothes organisers, perhaps ANTONIUS 3 sections, white £156.26undefined - undefined or while stock lasts height 168cm Article Number : 398.889.03Cabinet number: A flexible system with many possibilities of combination; choose a combination that fits the space available and meets your storage needs. ??? After all he's only 154.94 cm! regards donesol

[bassmule]

I'm so bummed that life has not turned out to be Swedish magazines.

[msg2urudy]

M I N T

[skullrock76]

this is the art where they confront Iggy Pop when there escaping from the lab in Return of the Living Dead part 3, when they must defeat the guard, but he breaks into song...

[cliftongretna]

His grill is fucked

[IdleOz]

@cliftongretna

Drugs'll do that

[issofunky]

wtf is with the teeth?

[andersbiro]

In this light setting he looked like the Hulk for a moment...

[sexyAkoshiaMoka]

@andersbiro lol!XD

[guitarkat99]

@andersbiro

I was thinking the same thing! The IG-credible Hulk :))

[fancyladydiane1]

Love iggy no matter what the people say sooo much talenti have to have my iggy fix

[jamesha175]

he is the biggest asshole in the music business - my friend and i saw him in OK in the '80s and we asked him for an autograph - he actually spit in my friend's face.

he is really only about 5'1" and he is lucky that he didn't get his fag ass kicked.

[eurorocker79]

@jamesha175

Haha what did you expect? Somebody gave him a band tshirt and he threw it in the garbage right in front of him!!

Anyway, that sounds like quite an autograph haha!

[crapple009]

@jamesha175 The perfect punk autograph- spit on a face. Geddit? However, I did see him spit on a bouncer in front of the stage several times. Bouncer never knew it but had kind of a feeling what was going on. Glad Iggy stopped doing it when he did.

[Alexisme1001]

Love the junky teeth.

[filmphobia]

1979. Greatest year in rock history.

[robasci00]

he's green, the incredible junkie Hulk :-)

[copterpilot2k4]

iggy looks like lloyd christmas in the beginning

[kirkbzzz123]

Iggy has my next haircut.

My Fave era of his solo career.

[Flipper79able]

Look at what Rock and Roll was before the Beatles......it was Chuck Berry, Jerry lee Lewis, Little Richard. Rock and Roll was all Punk in the beginning. Punk is just pure Rock and Roll.

[Skulldini]

@Flipper79able Well, early American rock 'n roll, of the 1950's, was pretty much westernized jungle music,.. combined with a little jazz, blues and hillbilly music.

[Flipper79able]

@Skulldini I'm sorry? What the hell is your point?

[Skulldini]

@Flipper79able Point? .. well, in your previous post ( to which mine was a reply ) you'd proposed that someone "Look at what rock 'n roll was prior to the Beatles",.. so then I,... oh fuck with it!! Whats the goddamn point of ANY of these posts?!!

[Flipper79able]

@Skulldini Oh, okay. I remember you....I think. Were you the asshole that said rock and roll started in Britain even though the first two Rolling Stones records and the second Beatles record were all Chuck Berry and American Rock and Roll records that came before the British invasion? I may be wrong but is that you?

[Skulldini]

@Flipper79able You've definately got the WRONG asshole there! I never said anything of THAT sort!

[Flipper79able]

@Skulldini Oh, sorry. I had a bad experience with someone. I am genuinely sorry.

[Skulldini]

@Flipper79able Ehhh,.. it hapens.

[shadowdrinkerx]

What?...I'm...I can't...

Is this even real?

I could take a shit in my hand, smear it on the screen, and it would make as much sense as this.

[Doderhultarn89]

First time I head and saw this I thought he sang;

"Im only 5 foot 1, I got to pee with my neck"

So by the look of his teeth I thought he had to shit with his mouth.

[Efrasnel]

@Doderhultarn89 : Typical junkie teeth...He looks better now. Possibly cleaned up his act (I hope)

[PhaNtOJVl]

kepp yer fkn shirt on dude Dx

[mikesobota]

@PhaNtOJVl Dude- you don't get to tell Iggy Shit, alright?

[TMOFK]

I WISH LIFE COULD BE SWEDISH MAGAZINES = GENIUS.

[pbot2029]

@TMOFK I think he's saying " I wish life could be, sweet as magazines"

[TMOFK]

@pbot2029 err no he's saying what i said he's saying. Swedish magazines reference the porn you could buy back in the day.

[pandaeyes42]

Iggy is allergic to wearing shirts!

[critopams]

Punk is the bastard lovechild of Rock and Roll and someone whose identity has been obscured to protect the innocent.

Everyone claims everyone has been the "godfather" of punk. The NY Dolls, The MC5, Iggy and the Stooges... dude. The truth is...my MOM started punk rock, okay? And she did it really freaking well.

Besides, if the intersection of 53rd/ 3rd (which is a gay area) was the cradle of "punk", then what if "punk" rock was just gay rock? Would explain a lot.

[MmeLEnfer]

Incredible charisma. Wow

[patchesdf]

Wow, he wore that shirt for almost a whole minute. That's gotta be a record for him.

[over18]

i'm only five foot one!

i got a pain in my heart

all night, i'm working

in the amusement park!

with a bottle of aspirin

a sack full of jokes

i wish i could go home

with all the big folks!

[charlax7]

genious

[dennisbinfishin]

Only the IG man can do something so cool with a couple bags of skag and some plastic sheets. Genius!

[kirbygene]

"What the hell-- what the heck" is now my favorite expression

[DanteWhite]

is iggy pop really 5 foot 1????

[kirbygene]

@DanteWhite Iggys about 5-7, 5-8, according to what I found on the net

[Flipper79able]

@DanteWhite No he's like 5' 7

[bgarr99]

He is hilarious, that's entertainment.

[JosemaSN]

Amazing video

[divjok]

one of the best music videos i've ever seen.

[Flipper79able]

Nice teeth Iggy.

[beamerZ]

Iggy really has the most mesmerizing, beautiful eyes when he's high :)

Grat song, great clip!

[china027]

@beamerZ Iggy, has beautiful eyes all the time and he hasn't been high for years! As for all you jokers calling him junkie mouth he knocked his teeth out with the microphone! Yes, Iggy had a drug habit which was years ago. Do you really think a man in his 60's could still jump around on stage, come up with great lyrics and have a six pack stomach, still be on junk/drugs??? Use your brains! Iggy, is a very intelligent man who reads and is into cultural geography, history, etc....

[beamerZ]

@china027 I agree with what you're saying, i wasn't being cynical, i meant what i said. I know Iggy has been clean for over 25 yrs now but in this clip he's pretty high. He fell off the wagon one more time after the Berlin -the idiot- period in which he was clean.

[xananadu]

im 5 foot 1 LOOOL

[sonicsteev]

great stuff

[tesstress]

peanut butter peanut butter peanut butter peanut butter skippy jiff peter fucking pan don't like the natural kind too much work i gotta do.peanut butter oil separated rub it in all over your winnie the pooh tattoo.peanut butter peanut butter iggy put it on we should too.peanut butter peanut butter no jelly baby!

[Flipper79able]

LOVE THIS SONG.

[olyachu]

Игги! Чё б ни говорили, я тя люблю! Оля из Сибири!

[genatem]

[maximocremoso]

BAILA COMO JUANA LA CUBANA moderfokers!

[sleepyp77]

quite possibly the best video ever made. who else could entertain you like this in a visqueen hallway?

[TheFacelessK]

i listen to iggy or bowie atleast 1 time a day with out trying

[ThatMiserableCat]

A good argument for Iggy as the Godfather of punk. (Was Patti Smyth Godmother?)

Love, Art, Creativity, Individualism,

and unafraid of pushing the envelope.

Thank you for posting.

Good Deal, mate.

[ELOdry]

1979 : punk was already clinically dead... but Iggy is still the Godfather of punk. Everybody sould listen "The Stooges" and "Fun House" at least one time a week (one time a day is better).

[punkleovicious]

fuck yeah I try to do that every day thamks for uploading IGGY FUCKING POP

[JIHADJESSE]

@ELOdry if punk died in 79 , how do you explain minor threat , black flag , bad brains , or the germs? just because punk cut away from its mainstream elders (ramones , sex pistols , clash , ect...) doesn't mean it died...it died around 86...

[PieceofMindmusic]

@ELOdry i fucked a girl two days ago for four hours whilst listen to Fun House...the power of iggy flowed thru my veins!

[PoireauMan68]

@PieceofMindmusic cool...do her mum next week...tell her to bring her record collection...you might open up to Haenedel, Mooussorsgky and sacha Distel.

[PieceofMindmusic]

@PoireauMan68 bahaahhaha sound good to me :p

[Fx3Productions]

@ELOdry Punk's not dead its just underground.

[wipers86]

@ELOdry hell yeah man 2 great albums

[Tubernaut]

@ELOdry No argument here. I have both of those classic albums.

[Tubernaut]

@ELOdry No argument here. I have both of those classic albums. Although I was disappointed to see TV eye made into a Nissan commercial but even Iggy needs to put food on the table. RIP Dave Alexander and Ron Asheton.

[crapple009]

@Tubernaut They recently did the same thing to Lene Lovich's "Lucky Number".

[godofslumber]

@ThatMiserableCat Fuck Patti Smith! That cunt was a talentless nobody-

[captian3legs]

@ThatMiserableCat why not her or debra harry

[crapple009]

@captian3legs Because Deborah Harry is. Patti never was that much fun, anyway.

[china027]

@ThatMiserableCat Yes Patti Smith is the God mother of Punk. BTW, It is Smith not Smyth! Might have been a type-o...I hope any who! She was way a head of her time. You must listen to Horses, Ask The Angles, damn the whole album, Free Money...Poet and Great music! Lenny Kaye on the gutiar. I can't say any more but listen to it. As for Iggy, there is no debate that he is the Godfather of punk!! The man still can make you weak. I saw him this summer and it was GREAT!!

[yoas025]

@ThatMiserableCat

i can completely agree with the peppermint being "godmother" ROck n RoLL NigGER for ever

n yea i think igyys got it in the bag

[crapple009]

@ThatMiserableCat or Patty Smith? ;-)

[AsleepAndDreaming]

i got a pain in my neck!

[marcfedak]

Thanks ELOdry for posting this video. I already thought that "Five Foot One" and New Values was a brilliant post punk song, but this video makes me appreciate it even more. Now I'll have to check "I'm Bored"...

[CanterCorperation]

Is anyone else disgusted at this

[maxisit22]

what album is this from?

[ELOdry]

New Values (1979).

[nicjazdad]

@ELOdry Which is a GREAT album, btw...probably my favorite Iggy Album.

[paddlepop77]

@maxisit22

There's a new thing called Google.

[theodork02]

his teeth are really gross in this video but maybe because he is supposed to be a carnie in this video... but new values is a great album

[mti58312]

what is swedish magazine like?

[SPEEDCORE79]

Iggy is around 5' 8

[kaxypop]

there's no way. i saw him last year and he was shorter than me (i'm 5'9"). he could possibly be around 5'3".

mind you i was waiting around the back just to get a photo of him (which i did get). so it's not like i'm saying he was on stage and looked that short. he actually was shorter than me on level ground haha.

[jabrahante]

Iggy U da man

[reecegeorge]

Who dares like iggy did.One of the best songs ecer written.Felt hurled and to this day all you so calleds ]Loved]
