Iggy Pop & Debbie Harry :)
My favorites -
"Night and Day"
"I've Got You Under My Skin"
"I Get a Kick Out of You"
Remind me of old movies.
William, you'd probably get a kick out of hearing Iggy Pop talk about his new album Preliminaires. The interview includes his cover of "Autumn Leaves." Not bad.
Crystal,
Yeah, I didn't know they had done anything together, and especially not Cole Porter.
I think Frank nails "I've Got You Under My Skin."
Jeff,
Thanks for the link - I'll give it a listen when I'm not at a public desk.
Very curious to hear Iggy doing "Autumn Leaves." If only he had gone all the way and sung the original French version!
If I recall, I'm pretty sure he does sing it in French (Les Feuilles Mortes), plus one or two others. :)
