Ziggy Pop

Iggy Pop’s masterpiece, with a sound akin to Lou Reed. The claim is the song was inspired by car rides with David Bowie.

Another classic song about car cruising. I first heard this demo tape in high school on WBCN. FM radios in cars were a relative rarity back then, especially the older cars driven by kids. So it made sense that Richman loved the AM sound, implying WRKO in Boston, rather than WBCN.
