The other day I was watching an Iggy Pop video and reflecting on what combination of drugs and mental illness must go into creating his genius when a bizarre thing happened ... several minutes after the video ended a commercial came on ... for a cruise line ... screaming out "Lust for Life." Of course, Iggy (who I actually prefer to Kathie Lee Gifford) did not appear in the commercial, and two lines of the song were repeated over and over again ... but it was bizarre all the same.

I think they should have included more of the lyrics:

Here comes Johnny in again
With liquor and drugs
And a fast machine
He's gonna do another strip tease.

Hey man, where'd ya get that lotion?
I've been hurting since I'm up again
With something called love
Yeah, something called love.
Well, that's like hypnotizing chickens.

Now THAT'S what I call a cruise!!!

Can anyone think of any other strange music/commercial pairings?


All hail the freaky tiki!
