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.

And in concert, from “Stop Making Sense,” a video I loved hearing in VHS hi-fi.

I was still in my 20’s when this was new! Better to not think about it.
