The Godfather
Happy birthday, James Newell Osterberg, Jr., aka Iggy Pop.
Though an exciting live performer, Iggy has never been a major commercial force. His 1977 album Lust For Life, produced by friend and fan David Bowie, didn't even crack the top 100. Yet the title number became his best known song when it was picked up in 1996 for the Trainspotting soundtrack.

Now most kids know it as the Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines theme song. I always shake my head at them using a song about kicking heroin for their commercials.
Once you're on that boat, you better make sure Johnny Yen ain't there or you can't get away.
