One of the oddest pop hits, certainly in my collection, but also on the charts in mid '79 - Iggy Pop's 'I'm bored'. Thanks to a bizarre promotional visit on 'Countdown'. the Aussie version of 'Top of the Pops', this track has remained in my consciousness and still really enjoy its rough and raw energy. I often use the expression: 'I'm bored, I'm the Chairman of the Bored (Board)'. Lifted from his LP 'New Values', it was Australia that gave Iggy the highest chart placing for 'I'm bored': #68 in the middle of 1979.
Just when i thought i knew what sort of music i like.....
