comment |
Lust for Life is the second studio album by Iggy Pop, released in 1977. It was released in the same year as his first solo album, The Idiot and is the second of three to be co-produced and co-written by David Bowie (the third being 1986's Blah-Blah-Blah). Unlike The Idiot, which was primarily a Berlin Trilogy prototype, Lust for Life moves closer into the style of Pop's earlier work with The Stooges, being a Hard Rock album rooted strongly in his Proto Punk background with his former band. Bowie would later cover both "Tonight" and "Neighborhood Threat" on his 1984 album Tonight, which itself featured two original songs co-written by Pop.Like its predecessor and Bowie's Berlin Trilogy, the album would be cited as a major influence on the Post-Punk movement.Lust for Life was supported by one single: "Success".This album is not to be confused with the 1956 film about Vincent van Gogh starring Kirk Douglas in the starring role. |

Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: A huge theme on the album. "Lust for Life" has the protagonist wanting more from life. "The Passenger" describes himself as just a passenger driven by life and "Some Weird Sin" has him trying to break into it. |

Shout-Out: The lyrics of "Lust for Life" contain a number of references to William S. Burroughs' experimental novel The Ticket That Exploded, most notably mentions of "Johnny Yen" (described by Burroughs as "The Boy-Girl Other Half strip tease God of sexual frustration") and "hypnotizing chickens." |

Lyrical Dissonance |
| | Lust for Life (Music) / int_dbfd6b8 |
comment |
Lyrical Dissonance: "Lust for Life" is a pumping track about celebrating life, though it also deals with cutting a drug habit. This hasn't stopped many advertisers to use it as a cheery song in advertisements or other people to think it glorifies a life of Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll. (Though, this is noticeable by the song almost immediately cutting to the chorus in said advertisements.) |
