Iggy covers Jonathan Richman

[kaewonf8]

suuuuuuux

[hzuhairy]

This is a travesty. He just doesn't have the same finesse as Jonathan. Also he totally fucked the lyrics.

[touchandgod]

This is hilariously weird.

[tescocadaver]

I wish I'd never seen this

[extremelybusy123]

Iggy playing guitar with a shirt on. WTF is going on. This video is BOSS.

[MrBuk86]

hey paloma don't be an asshole

[salmonlasac]

I would like to see "The Stooges" cover this! This vids kinda makes me uncomfortable!

[sydferret]

truth be told, Pablo was an asshole.

[MsGrampo]

eccellente cover di un grande pezzo di jonathan richman

non pensavo che Iggy suonasse così bbene

[11xzxzxz]

Bowie and Iggy co-write songs and do covers of the same song . Bowies is better.

[sound0and0vision]

I'm gonna rhyme paloma with aroma

[phillydog17]

Great song but Iggy sucks, always did.

[pang5]

@phillydog17 You got some good tunage up on your channel, philly. I can admit that. Still, Iggy does something unlike what you got there (not that you've covered all of your tastes in that selection, though!) and he does it well.

He took being a frontman to new heights that few afterwards will be able to equal. He's a generous performer who really engages his audience and makes you part of a hell of a show. The tunes...well, they speak for themselves. Audio carnage for the sick at heart.

[basural]

Pablo Picasso siempre tiene algo de faso.

[astroboirap]

:O iggy's wearing a t-shirt?!

meh ok cover but the shitty paloma add on verse ruins it.

[foreverashcroft]

great version, nice to see iggy dressed..

[renewd]

Paint by numbers

[adhonus]

Anytime I hear the Modern Lovers version now, I'm going to wonder where the Paloma Picasso verse is. Thanks, YouTube!

[willzyx12]

lol left handed

[TheAnthony236]

iggy with a SHIRT on

[TheBrazilianFreak]

and lovely hair LOL

[Hamptonio]

i love that riff.

that's out of the springsteen "nebraska" handbook.

mr. state troooooper....

please don't stop me...

[msstressa]

Except that Jonathan Richman wrote this song about five years before Springsteen released Nebraska.

[Hamptonio]

i'm not talkin about richman's version. i'm talkin about iggy's version. it's much more minimal and, as i said, in the same vein of "state trooper".

[sunrawb]

...earlier than that, just for the record...this song dates back to at least 71...

[WhiteBoy41]

The first time I ever heard it. It was on the sound track to THE MOVIE,,> REPO MAN !! So it is as old as that or like you say Older. IgGy does a song also on that.....peace.

[pang5]

@WhiteBoy41 Looking for the joke with a microscope sometimes, I am. xx

[WhiteBoy41]

@pang5 Yaaaah Thats Cool. You have a good Memory.

[CorsicanGod]

The only reason this cover makes me uncomfortable is because Iggy seems waaaaay too normal during the whole ordeal. That's why it's no magic.

[dubbedcrazy]

i love that asshole pablo picasso and iggy too

[Droyd21]

I don't think this sucks...except for the last verse.

I just love the sound of those broken strings ringing!

[DannyA123]

The aroma of Iggy's made-up verse didn't smell quite right.

[pls24]

good man this sucks

[skurfja36]

word. He shouldn't have done this.

[ignoranttwat]

I think it's pretty good.

[iloverobots01]

fucking hate people who post comments trying to act like a music critic when they're probably just some no good kid who reads too many internet forums and reviews then says shit like 'I pretty much liked Iggy, and this version reveals some really sad truth about him'. Its just like honestly, do you always feel the need to come on youtube and act like a big man and state all these things. your never going to be liked more from doing it so why even bother.

[fivefootcharlie]

At least the dude trying to be creative. So i give him his props.

[JackGander]

If you hear this in context (elsewhere on youtube, I forget where), two of his guitar strings have broken and there's a complete absence of replacement strings, so he thinks of songs he can play with 4 strings that aren't necessarily in his usual repertoire, including this. The last verse is just spontaneous silliness. Ain't nothin' wrong with silliness.

[shake544]

Don't think this was recorded in 1989, more like 1998..

[Efrasnel]

I agree. Iggy in '89 had way shorter hair. Saw him in concert that year. No way he would play acoustic at that time.

[jeffkahl]

fuckin eh!

[Cadrat2006]

If you want to see Iggy at his best look up "Molly Meldrum Interview with Iggy Pop".

[dcavagna]

i think he was surely making up most of that ending. it was pretty bad.

[MichalZKrowa]

what the hell is that bit of lyrics he added??! It's fucking pointless crap in comparison to anything Richman wrote. I pretty much liked Iggy and this version reveals some really sad truth about him, i'm afraid, thank you much

[pmgruhn]

What sad truth is that?

[mrlimh]

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhh cra

zy

[thedawnhorse23]

i'm so disappointed in this version

[WKaliber1]

lol, this song had SOOOOOOO many covers

[NoamChomskyMvp]

jonathan richman rocks

[earboy1]

Wow, what an awful verse he made up

[greattools]

That is what dopers do. They suck...

[cattleforslaughter]

Iggy dosn't suck. his cover of this song sucks.

[CRAWBURGER]

Yids Rock!

[adamh68]
