OK, I realize I may be raked over the coals for this by the true believers of the church of Iggy, but I think this is a really good cover of Iggy Pop’s “Success” done with a swinging Gary Glitter-esque beat. From the Durannie’s hit or miss covers album “Thank You” from the 1990s.
The splendid and infamous mash-up of “Push It” by Salt n’ Pepa with “No Fun” by The Stooges, put together by 2 Many DJs. This was one of Nick Hornby’s favorites in his collection of essays about desert island songs, “Songbook.” If you like what you hear, be sure to check out the 2 Many DJs album “As Heard on Radio Vol. 2″ , which is nothing but multiple mashups of everything from the Velvet Underground to Dolly Parton to Peaches to Emerson Lake & Palmer. Trust me, it’s WAAAAY better than it sounds.
Blues from hell, served burned to a crisp.

This ballad from hell is my favorite track off Iggy’s infamously awesome “Raw Power” album. Many prefer the sturm and drang of “Search and Destroy” and the title track, but I always found this “love” song way more sinister and frightening. “There’s nothing left alive but a pair of glassy eyes … raise my fears one more time.”
Another killer track from the “War Child” benefit album, “Heroes.” This time it’s Peaches doing a Neu!-style cover of Iggy and the Stooges’ classic punk song from hell “Search and Destroy.” Extra kudos to Peaches for doing a VERY non-standard, but stupendous version of this raver.
