Looking Back At Some Classics

[Music Head]

#445 - Stooges - I Wanna Be Your Dog - 1969

running recap for me - 3's=27, 2's=21, 1's=8
this one - **
from the album: The Stooges
Written by Iggy Pop, Dave Alexander, Ron Asheton, Scott Asheton
Produced by John Cale
Chart action:

the players:
Iggy Pop – vocals
Dave Alexander – bass
Ron Asheton – guitar, vocals
Scott Asheton – drums
John Cale – piano, sleighbell

Iggy in his prime, from the groups debut album. Didn't know VU's John Cale had a hand in this. Not much
there in either music or lyrics, but it was punk. Assume the song was a single but no chart action is
shown. A few covers, with Joan Jett's getting the most play. I see the Stogges were inducted into the R&R
Hall Of Fame in 2010. Must have been a weak year.

Lyrics

So messed up
I want you here
In my room
I want you here
Now we're gonna be
Face-to-face
And I'll lay right down
In my favorite place

And now I wanna
Be your dog
Now I wanna
Be your dog
Now I wanna
Be your dog
Well c'mon

Now I'm ready
To close my eyes
And now I'm ready
To close my mind
And now I'm ready
To feel your hand
And lose my heart
On the burning sands

And now I wanna
Be your dog
And now I wanna
Be your dog
Now I wanna
Be your dog
Well c'mon
