Teddybears is from Sweden, Iggy Pop's not. I don't think. I could look it up but it's quite late and I'm lazy. I've got ten bucks says Iggy's not from Sweden. I think he's from Detroit.*Nonetheless, he plays nicely with the Swedes on this one, an unexpected gift from Stockholm. A need-it-louder addition to your all-purpose playlists. Hearing his voice again in this setting also reminds all the postpunk kids, once more, that they owe Iggy his due. (*He's from Muskegon, Michigan, not Detroit. Yeah, I looked it up. His real last name, Osterberg, is, get this - Swedish. You heard it here - Iggy Pop may not be from Sweden, but he is Swedish. You may now continue to enjoy the song, apparently a marriage of Swedes old and new.)
