The title track of Blah-Blah-Blah, Iggy Pop's 1986 album, finds him in sleek mid-'80s studio clothes and not the least bit tamed. He wrote it with David Bowie, who produced and mixed it with David Richards and sings backup too, and the sound is pure machine: Erdal Kızılçay handles drums, bass, synthesizers, organ and sampler all by himself, while Kevin Armstrong's guitar slashes across the top.
Iggy spits out the title with a curled lip, riding the glossy, clattering groove like a man who knows exactly how slick it all is and plans to leave fingerprints anyway.
