Hey Goran, great addition!, and it makes for an interesting read.

You may know these already, but the originals, or cover versions, Iggy's versions will be taken from are ...

The Animals _"House Of The Rising Sun"

Cab Calloway - "Minnie The Moocher"

Flower Children - "Mini-Skirt Blues"

The McCoys - "Hang On Sloopy"

? & The Mysterians - "96 Tears"

The Rolling Stones - "I Wanna Be Your Man" ( A Beatles song, but the Stooges version is based on this one)

Them - "Gloria"

Howlin' Wolf - "Back Door Man"

"Everybody Needs Somebody To Love", "Fortune Teller", and "That's How Strong My Love Is" were all covered by the Rolling Stones in the mid-sixties, that would be a pretty safe bet for the origin of Iggy's covers.

Haven't heard Iggy do "Pablo Picasso", but if it includes the lyric "Nobody ever called Pablo Picasso an asshole" it's a cover of a song by The Modern Lovers.

Haven't heard him do "Put A Spell On You" either, but if it includes the lyric "I put a spell on you, because you're mine" it's a cover of "I Put A Spell On You" by Screamin' Jay Hawkins.

Haven't heard "Shotgun" but if includes the lyric "Do the jerk, baby, do the jerk now" it's a cover of a song by Junior Walker & The All Stars.

Haven't heard Iggy do "Batman Theme", but if it's got him and Jackie Clarke pretending to be Batman and Robin it's probably a cover of the version by Link Wray. If at any point it includes the line "Batman, shall I start the nuclear power for the Batmobile?" it definitely is.

Paul

Thanks a lot Paul.

I updated info with everything you wrote, except:

"Everybody Needs Somebody To Love", "Fortune Teller", and "That's How Strong My Love Is" were all covered by the Rolling Stones in the mid-sixties, that would be a pretty safe bet for the origin of Iggy's covers.

I'm not sure about this. Iggy like versions by Solomon Burke, Naomi Neville and Otis Redding.

Goran

Great Job There! Goran.

Hey Goran

You may be right, re The Stones, I can't say for certain. But I still have my suspicions

Re "Fortune Teller", the original version is by Benny Spellman. The song was written by Allen Toussaint and published under the pseudonym "Naomi Neville".

That's assuming it's the same song. The first line is "Went to the fortune teller, to have my fortune read", right?

Paul

I don't know, maybe you're right. I will write both versions.

I still have not decided to add acoustic and demo versions of songs that were released on the official albums in the list,
but I will add The Stooges and Iggy and The Stooges songs tonight.

Thanks.

hey Goran! great work as always :-)

you might like to add the superb/dark/haunting "Invitation To Sin",
performed only once, in the Athens 03-07-1991 show.

"...oh, mother, let me in
invitation to a sin..."

Thanks Caesar, but I write only songs that I have on tapes. Unfortunately I don't have that song. I have only 5 songs from the Athens 03-07-1991 show:
1 Lust For Life
2 Candy
3 Real Wild Child
4 The Passenger
5 No Fun
I think you sent me this tape a few years ago.

I added The Stooges and Iggy and The Stooges songs yesterday.

Goran

The list is updated with a lot new songs (demos, rough mixes, solo versions, etc. + songs from official studio albums).

thanks for lots of good work!
