We went to a David Bowie tribute concert the other day - a string ensemble and DJ traded Bowie songs in a unique and cool way. During the DJ/dancing part, Iggy Pop's "Lust for Life" came on. We later found out that David Bowie wrote the music for the song on ukulele (and came up with the title), and Iggy Pop added the surrealist lyrics.
So, while we can't hold a candle to the amazingly hopping drum/bass of the original, we like to think we are bringing the song home to its ukulele roots...
Original song written in 1977 by Iggy Pop and David Bowie
