Iggy Pop's lyrics of the classic Kingsmen song.

Thanks to Jim Morris for posting the Paul Revere & The Raiders version of this classic. I played this last night at Caffe Lena and got a good reception. I added another verse last night, but omitted it in this morning's video recording.

Instead of the typical rock shuffle strum, I opted for a finger picking rhythm with a little clawhammer feel.

Thanks pick, Jim, Nancy kat and wes.

Iggy Pop recorded this in 1993 and the social commentary still seems fitting.  I added a verse about Baltimore.  It is so frustrating to me that we seem to want to turn toward a new Dark Ages whether it is brutality, riots, anti-science, political corruption, or . . .  We need more people trying to do the right thing and fewer people trying to sell misery.  I'll stop before I really start sounding like a hippie.
