Louie LouieThe Stooges
From its madness-inducing intro, this track overflows with Iggy’s essence.
It’s no exaggeration to say The Stooges laid the groundwork for garage rock, and this song packs in all their barbs and allure.
Iggy’s unhinged vocals are addictively distinctive.
Lend an ear to the deranged sound and spice up your everyday life.
