I'd say the song is influenced by Eno, not Bowie, as it was Eno who changed Bowie sound on his Berlin trilogy. Iggy sound on the Soldier album approaches more to new experimental venues, very German, yes, but different to the symphonic long industrial songs that Bowie settled on Low and Heroes. When will be the time than Iggy's considred by himself and not as Iggy + Bowie? He deserves that.
Correctomondo JJ88. Simple Minds' heroes at the time were Iggy/Bowie/King Crimson/ Alex Harvey Band. They were ecstatic when Iggy used them on this song !
Stop bickering children, this song KICKS serious butt, watch the six-part Iggy documentary(Jesus this is Iggy...) for ALL the details of the Iggster and David's numerous collaborations over the decades. Great post, thanks
iggy is crazier than bowie but bowie is more popular.. to bad cause i do believe they are friends and have swapet lyrics with each other.. so wake up both are great!!!!
They are indeed Sam. They have remained good friends for almost 40 years.Collaborated on each others stuff. Even some of their album covers were similar.."The Idiot"_"Heroes" for example.
Bowie wrote china girl with Iggy. I like both versions, but the orignal is a excellent piece of rock. I am a Bowie fan, but his version is too comersialised, It is a brilliant version allthough.

It is really hard to pick a favorite Iggy Pop song but this is it for me. I'm a conservative a close second. Love the Bowie influences.
