Great performance, but it's also worth taking a moment to appreciate his backing band representing the various possible permutations of the mullet. Drummer with the classic redneck mullet, bass player with the permed mullet, rhythm guitar with the ponytail mullet, and keyboard with the balding mullet. Lead guitarist must be guesting.
💜 Not too long after this appearance, I was fortunate enough to catch the Iggy/Pretenders show in Oakland, CA... Iggy was literally awesome, a whirling dervish of a Tasmanian devil on stage, blew my young mind and changed the trajectory of my life. Greetings from Japan.
It is network, and it is in a studio....but Iggy Pop maintains his energy and makes it great. Dude, he is unstoppable. He puts it on the line... everytime!
@@TabethaAurochs Is that from a chapter in one of Henry Rollins' books, or something that you heard on a podcast? I would be very interested in reading it or hearing it. So if you see this, and can let me know, that would be great. (I did a Google search, but had no luck). Thanks in advance.
@@jeffkaufman9875I really liked the show as a kid, but seeing it again as an adult, I realize that Edna Garrett wasn’t an ideal role model or caregiver for four teenage girls. Her personal life is pretty chaotic. She seems to forget that they are all minors and students at the school where she works, not her peers. The four girls also work in the school cafeteria for no pay for literally years as a consequence for property damage.
@ks I (sincerely!) appreciate your earnest reply to what was on my end a rhetorical question of cloaked snobbery at your taste (or lack thereof?!) at that certain tender, undiscriminating age…
@@franciscofoes2076 He is just joking around, because if you read the comments here regularly, it is sort of a running joke that a lot of dead celebrities have been featured on this channel lately (and that looking at this channel is how some people discover that a celebrity has died recently). Glad to know that Iggy is alive and well!

Yeah, it was the beginnings of mullet mania here in America.
Iggy:"I'm the chairman of the bored."
Thought Carrottop was. (Thanks Norm).
The performance still holds up! I remember this one like it was yesterday.
both Dave and Iggy are 40 years old here!
Tremendous performance!
He always gave great interviews with Dave too. ⭐️

Damn right
Iggy Pop
One of the most humble performers .. because he came from humble beginnings!
It is network, and it is in a studio....but Iggy Pop maintains his energy and makes it great.
Dude, he is unstoppable. He puts it on the line... everytime!
Full of energy. Great performance. Thanks Dave!
FYI
Iggy is still alive and kicking at 76
Yeah he was sending high kicks at Paul from go lol
Clicked on this for the performance but so glad the "Facts of Life" discussion was included--reminds me of how much I loved this show.
That was a stirring conversation about a landmark television program. I learned a dew things from that and from Mr. Pop's performance.
"fabulous babe" 🤣
2:14 I loved singing and playing this on stage. Crowd always went off. I used to sing the keyboard line in the intro though.
"Crocodile Dundee 2" lol 😅😅
👍🏼🦘🐊
Man was 40 here, hasn't aged in 36 years. Granted, he looked 76 at the time, as well.
He's only Five Foot One & Enjoys Swedish Magazines 🎸 !
An oldie but a a goody dear Mr Letterman you should run for President, your just sooooo intelligent.
Keep on keepin on ❤️✌️🤓👍
Mick Jagger wishes he had those moves. Wow, bring on Friday night! Great choice! Thanks Barbara and Dave!
What a showman Iggy Pop is ,the best
Love me some Iggy Pop.
Marilu Henner is gorgeous!
Anybody who likes Soupy Sales is OK in my book.
Love you, Soupy!!
Rest in Peace. 🕊
Pure FUN!!!!😊
Iggy moves like Mick Jagger on speed.
Yes. But Jagger's moves come from James Brown.
So now I'm looking forward to Willie Nelson and George Carlin tomorrow.
Why?
Good performance, and it was great seeing The World's Most Dangerous Band backing him up. They all had hair!
I love the Soupy Sales story. Too bad Soupy Sales didn't have a show in Ireland; Bono could have been a good songwriter.
recommend looking up Henry Rollins talking about attempting to outdo Iggy at festivals and coming up a bit short.
But Henry is a huge fan of Iggy's.
He used to write a weekly column in the LA Weekly newspaper, and he always spoke very highly of Iggy.
"YOU'RE GOING DOWN IGUANAMAN!" 😂❤ Henry's Iggy story is one of my favorite things in all of ever. That's how you give Iggy Pop his 💐
@@TabethaAurochs
Is that from a chapter in one of Henry Rollins' books, or something that you heard on a podcast?
I would be very interested in reading it or hearing it. So if you see this, and can let me know, that would be great.
(I did a Google search, but had no luck).
Thanks in advance.
Henry was like the 10th singer of black flag lol
He had a lot of energy
I recently re-watched all of “Facts of Life”, including the “Down Under” and “Goes to Paris” films. It does not hold up.
@kstepko Did it ever REALLY hold anything worth holding?..

It's OK, Iggy's alive and kicking and still taking names; uploads like this really ought to come with a warning.
Yes, he is, and yes, they should.
👍💯❣️
Obscure Fun Fact: “Real Wild Child” was penned by Buddy Holly and The Crickets drummer, J Ivan Allison…
@sponger More obscure, indeed; I had never heard that!.. Thanks for the info!..
@sponge Thanks again; I’ll have to check it out!..
El es atrevido en su actuar . Eso lo hace único. Gracias Iggy
Iggy Pop: Proof that you don't have to know how to dance in order to let the rhythm take control.
Iggy Pop high on life…only. Classic!
🎼🤟♥️♥️♥️🤟🎼
Looove Iggy
Back when America had good music and high morale. Good times.
He's definitely a wild one.
❤️
He's a wild one.
Oh yeah, he's a wild one.
Iggy you were great with the other 3 stooges
Weird not seeing Iggy’s chest
Join us tomorrow night for Willie Nelson and George Carlin. No big deal.
Please post Iggy playing Cold Metal with Steve Jones alongside The World’s Most Dangerous Band.
Hello America!
Don’t worry! Iggy is ok
lol. Iggy playing to a bunch of squares that didn't appreciate him.
Iggy is cool.....
Or we could just be thankful Barb let’s us have these and not assume the worst? 🤷♂️👍
America's version of Mick Jagger? 👍
As messed up as the U.S. is now this seems like it’s from another planet
Iggy has one speed, go.
I hit iggy in the head with a cabbage Detroit 1981...lol lol
Odd seeing Iggy wearing shirt and jacket.
RIP
Raaaaage!
Only an Aussie gets that 😂
dude rode the gravy train on the low talent spectacle racket
All the way to the hof,
5th comment, 8th minute 😊
Rest in peace Iggy. This was a terrible way to find out such sad news.
Iggy Pop is alive❣️❤
They're uploading fun segments,
to celebrate the new year.
Stop the madness!
Why you say something like that? Terrible
@@franciscofoes2076
Carl stated it,
without Googling, first,
because Letterman, also, uploads segments immediately after folks die, as a tribute.

Greta Thunberg stole blah blah blah from Iggy Pop.
This was definitely Iggy's lowest point musically.
Too bad that Iggy has no energy.
25 words or less is hilarious.
