Talk:Lust for Life (Iggy Pop song)

Interpol's "Say Hello to the Angels" uses a similar riff in parts, and I believe there have been other songs, though none of these are as close as "Are you gonna be my girl?"--DCo1 02:52, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

only the drum beat on PDA is at all similar the guitar riff it completely different. --80.41.28.81 21:40, 23 January 2007 (UTC)


 * It just occurred to me that the drum intro on "Car Jamming" by The Clash is also very similar to the opening of "Lust For Life." 24.6.66.193 10:59, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Van Gogh Reference?
Irving Stone wrote an historical novel, Lust for Life, about the life of Van Gogh. Is the line "Of course I've had it in the ear before" an allusion to Van Gogh's slicing off his own ear? 45750born (talk) 18:17, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Vandellas
As well as the similarity between the drum beat for "Lust for Life" and Martha & The Vandellas "I'm Ready for Love", they also share a similarity in the delivery of the lyric: Compare Iggy singing "about something called love, yeah something called love" with Martha singing " I'm ready for love, I'm truly ready for love". --Design (talk) 06:29, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Lust for Life (Iggy Pop song) → Lust for Life (song) – The Iggy Pop song has existed for 40+ years, has been used in numerous films, tv shows, and tv commercials, and is regarded as iconic. A new song by Lana Del Rey does not compare in terms of historical or cultural importance. This page move is not uncontroversial or merely technical. This should have been discussed first. I would argue that the Iggy Pop title is the main subject and should have preference. Either way, the matter should be discussed. -  The Old Jacobite  The '45  14:40, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Queried move request. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:04, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose moving article to Lust for Life (song). It does not appear to me that the Iggy Pop song should be the primary topic for Lust for Life. Therefore, since disambiguation is required, the use of incomplete disambiguation is contrary to its purpose. Back links from Lust for Life (song) should be retargeted to Lust for Life (Iggy Pop song), then redirect Lust for Life (song) to Lust for Life.--John Cline (talk) 21:50, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
 * You're confusing the matter. No one is suggesting the song should replace Lust for Life, which would remain a dab page.  But, the Iggy Pop song is certainly the primary topic when it comes to songs of this title.  The disambiguation on the Lana Del Rey title is enough to prevent confusion. ---  The Old Jacobite   The '45  22:56, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Actually, I did understand, and agree with all that you said, except your conclusion that Iggy Pop's song should be titled [Lust for Life (song)]. It simply goes awry of best practice to resolve ambiguity with incomplete disambiguation. The song is not so unique that it needs special handling and unique solutions. Instead, the opposite is true: Ambiguity routinely occurs and disambiguation is well prescribed, and solutions are easily discerned. Therefore, just as the album is titled, Lust for Life (Iggy Pop album), so should the song be "Lust for Life" (Iggy Pop song).--John Cline (talk) 16:52, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose per WP:PDAB. f  e  minist  09:56, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose – While I realize that the Lana Del Rey song was only released on Wednesday, the two songs were released at completely different times. I don't think there should be a primary topic for "Lust for Life". 2601:8C:4001:DCB9:60F2:4B79:1552:E7C8 (talk) 12:03, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
 * " the Lana Del Rey song was only released on Wednesday" :: a fortnight or so will show how popular this new song is. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:38, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
