IGGY POP DUM DUM BOYS Live in Toronto 1981

[@regretto]

in my opinion iggy's best song. and one of the best ever written. and the reason why i'll prefer the idiot over lust for life any day. turn blue is kinda close, but still not the same.

[@kellyjackson7889]

Sergey Anisimov I made a special edition "Funhouse" album that includes the dum dum boyz and the demo version of 'I gotta right'

[@natid.6619]

yes!!!!!!! i love your opinions

[@natid.6619]

what about:fall in love with me?

[@scott7521]

both records are great for different reasons.... they're so similar and so different at the same time.

[@johnshirley5222]

Great song but impossible to locate his best songs. So many candidates. I mean, come on, the entire album Funhouse...the Raw Power album... For his solo albums, do not neglect American Caesar and Beat em Up.

[@123sambryant]

Best performance ever handsdown!! It looks like his playing in some run down old booze tavern and a bunch of winos came in to get a drink and he blew them all away.

[@dumdumboy8946]

The band is so fucking good... I wish i could go back in time and see this era of iggy in person.

[@maxsmart9116]

Me too. I was only in preschool at this time.

@@maxsmart9116 i just discovered IGGY in 81 wheni bought PARTY on a cassette. I had any clue about STOOGES or IDIOT at that time,i was 13

[@NewarkBay357]

I the Iggy Pop after the Idiot was the Zenith of his career. David Bowie was a King-Maker with his superlative influence and grasp of what would turn Iggy Pop into a shining star. Iggy had the talent, and Bowie knew how to make it shine.

[@drsloanski]

Funny you should mention. I saw Iggy for the first time in 1982 with a crowd of about 100 people. They played for almost 3 hours, defying commercial failure, critics, and everything else. His intensity was off the charts, and for me, it was a life changing experience.

[@LaughingboyMox]

Bauhaus, Adam Ant, John Lydon, Fad Gadget, Julian Cope..they all owe so so so so much....

[@NewarkBay357]

See Iggy so static is so unusual & spooky. Iggy with French mime look was short-lived. His greatness and individuality never fail to manifest themselves. He is One of the greatest Rock n' Roll Icons in history. Seeing Iggy Pop live is beyond a thrilling Rock 'n' Roll rollercoaster.

[@thekeywitness]

Great version of a great song.

[@robjones2408]

Iggy has got his Sinatra act down to a tee. Wonderful version of a haunting track which has been rarely performed onstage. To think that this was the last song the tragic Ian Curtis ever listened to......

[@MsSantiago219]

It was not Mass Production?

[@jonnyspace50]

how would you ever know what song he was up to

[@BrookeSaunders]

the idiot was still spinning on the turntable while his body was swinging

[@nathangray429]

@@jonnyspace50 Given that Mass Production is at the end of the record and is 10X more terrifying than every other song on the idiot, I think it's reasonable to assume that's the last song he listened to while killing himself. Also Joy Division wouldn't exist if Mass Production had not been a song.

[@downallyourstreets]

I really fuckin’ like that he may have went out with this on the table!

This is how we praise our friends in song. This is the dirge we sing when they pass on. THE IDIOT? Genius.

Dum Dum Boys - Iggy Pop Lyrics: What happened to Zeke? He's dead on Jones, man How about Dave? O.D'd on alcohol Oh, what's Rock doing? Oh, he's living with his mother What about James? He's gone straight Well, things have been tough Without the Dum Dum Boys I can't seem to speak the language I remember how they Used to stare at the ground They looked as if they Put the whole world Looked as if they put The whole world down The first time I met the Dum Dum Boys I was fascinated They just stood in front of the old drug store I was most impressed No one else was impressed, not at all And we'd sing Da, da, da, da, da Dum, dum day Well, where are you now my Dum Dum Boys? Are you alive or dead? Have you left me the last of the Dum Dum daze? And then the sun goes down And then the boys broke down People said we were negative They said we would take but we would never give But we'd sing Da, da, da, da, da, da Dum, dum, day We'd sing Da, da, da, da, da, da And hope it would pay We'd sing Da, da, da, da, da Dum, dum, dum, dum, day Dum, dum day Well now, I'm looking for the Dum Dum Boys Hey, where are you now when I need your noise? Now, I'm looking for the Dum Dum Boys The walls close in and I need some noise

[@NewarkBay357]

I think Germany is where Iggy Pop is the most popular, with Australia a close second, ditto New Zealand. Iggy was more popular overseas than in the USA. I was buying The Stooges albums before David Bowie's interaction which undisputedly exploded his career into becoming the multi-millionaire he always wanted to be.
