One of the more incredible career revivals has been the use of Iggy Pop songs for commercials.
I've heard Lust for Life, The Passenger and The Idiot just for those that come immediately to mind.
Of course all of those songs have lyrics and themes that can't be used, but the Iggster sure knows his way around a hook.
I've always rooted for this punkster (of course he played it before it was called punk). He is innovative and defines the word "survivior".
Rock on, Iggy. 😉

That being said, I love Iggy but let's not pat his back for his songs being in commercials.
Originally posted by darvlayI just find it ironic that a fellow with such a sordid past could be embraced by commercials. He would seem to be an unlikely choice to sell cars ot TVs.

Isaac Brock from Modest Mouse is a historic proponent of psychadelic drugs... and he helps sells SUVs to soccer moms.
Mary Hansen was killed on her bike by a motorist around the same time Stereolab was selling Volkswagens. 😵
