"Lust for Life" (Iggy Pop)

A few years back, some cruise line was using "Lust for Life" as the soundtrack for its commercials.  Who knows, maybe it still is.  I couldn't help but picture Iggy Pop, sitting somewhere (a red couch in a rented flat on the Champs-Élysées, a hash bar in Amsterdam, the bathroom of the Astor Place K-mart...), holding a royalties check, and laughing his ass off about some ad exec unwittingly (or quite knowingly) picking this paean to debauchery with its various sly references to William S. Burroughs to hawk voyages to tropical locales.
It was an especially odd choice, considering that the song had been used pretty appropriately in the drug-filled crime film Trainspotting (1996), which is where I (and countless others of my generation) first heard it.
The track from the 1977 album of the same name features the same group of musicians, led by David Bowie, that had crafted Pop's art-rock reinvention/comeback album, The Idiot, earlier the same year—most notably, rhythm weapons Hunt Sales (drums) and his brother Tony Sales (bass).  (Bar trivia fact: they're the sons of comedian Soupy Sales.)
Anyway, the Sales brothers are the culprits behind the thunderous rhythm section, which sounds kind of like the rhythm section of The Supremes' "You Can't Hurry Love" (had The Funk Brothers done an 8-ball before the recording session, that is).
Even if the subject matter of "Lust for Life" doesn't exactly resonate, there's still something rousing about that shouted refrain Lust for life / I got a lust for life! that makes you want to go out and grab life by the lapels.
