If you ever need a pick-me-up, here you go: https://tinyurl.com/3jpjajhz\n\n(Bonus: Here's Biggy's very own Insta account!  https://tinyurl.com/3wj9epna)\n\nTop 2000 A Gogo is a fabulous mini-documentary series by NTR (a Dutch public-service broadcaster), and in the following episode, the camera is trained on Iggy Pop, who describes how this song came to fruition. Enjoy the rabbit hole! https://tinyurl.com/3txfh224\n\nTLDW: Pop explains how the song came together with David Bowie. \"We were sitting around his digs on the floor, because it was a no-chairs kind of place. \n\n\"We had a production contract and a schedule and he had to get it out of the way, so he said, 'Let's get a song here.'\n\n\"He picked up a little ukulele he had - I think it might have been his son's - and just came up with that progression, which I thought was great.\"",
