Hey YouTube! YouTube! Do me a favor and add a scrollbar so that we can watch the video plus check out videos like this where the uploader has graciously added lyrics. (Also, so we could read user comments while we watch the video but uploader comments alone would suffice.) You know kinda like the scrollbar that I see here on my right as I type this very comment.
Actually, the original was by Charles Walters & Betty Grable in "DuBarry Was a Lady". when the movie version was made with Red Skelton they decided not to use it. It wasn't until 1956 when the same Charles Walters signed on as director of "High Society" and put it to use for that fabulous duet by Frank & Bing....I always loved the line about how "she got pinched in the Astor Bar"
I guess 6 people have no sense of irony. Pretty silly to dislike this. You always end up on the wrong side if you decide to dislike something that's clearly self-depricating...
I love this video. Thanks to the UK magazine Mojo for publishing a link to it in their weekly email newsletter! The Ig and Deborah Harry still rule today! :)
We need more records like this in the top 40. Rock'n'roll and pop has become too serious and self-conscious for its own good. Thank god that rock still has a sense of humour somewhere. :)
Can't believe how normal Iggy looks with his hair short and pasted back lol. Debbie Harry tho not as slim as she was still bloody fit. Oi Debbie, never mind French Kissing in the USA, bring it here lol

Go and drop dead Iggy, stop dirtying your once supreme brand. My god...I can see why this one was swept under the carpet. This must've paid for some sort of quick hit for Jim... or maybe just the electicity bill...
this was considered one of the best songs off of red hot and blue. god it was for aids awareness. i love it! those two were probably so high...what a swell party it is,]
if you don't compare it too the original, then it's a brilliant rendition! and the lyrics are just too funny. iggy looked pretty good then! whereas debbie still looks hot as ever haha.
I can't help but love this version as well as the original from "High society", both for different reasons. Gee, Deborah Harry looks so radiant! hehe must lover her facial expressions, she makes me giggle xD
I walked onto the set......as such......if you note that at 2:41 they are fleeing...and those are the steps of Jersey City City Hall......it's hard to believe that it was 19 years ago......there were chickens and the rocket fin Cadillac there......and some chicks in mad hatter hats......many of the scenes were filmed in Jersey City......hard to believe that 13 or 14 yrs before that Blondie was down on the Hudson filming the Union City Blue video......youtube is cool....P
i first heard this on a compilation album called something like "red, white," and something. i have the tape somewhere. makes me want to go dig it out. i love debbie harry, she'll always remind me of the winter of 1979 when i first heard "heart of glass."
FUCKIN BRILLIANT! I used to play this over and over when it was first released...thanx for posting. There will NEVER be another Iggster, long may he reign.
great. iggy and debbie taking the PISS out of bourgeois pretensions circa nineteen ninety (yuppity!!!!). this probably wasn't played all that much on mtv.................
this song is on my ipod!!!!
