Iggy Pop - Repo Man

First video is the theme song of the film "Repo Man" (1984) by Iggy Pop. Second video is the "Repo Code" scene, featuring Harry Dean Stanton as the "repo man" (also did great job as Fundamentalist LDS sect leader Roman Grant in HBO series "Big Love").








"Repo Man" (the 1984 original, not to be confused with "Repo MEn," which came out in 2010) is one of those odd and more or less obscure films that are among my favorites.

Others in no particular order:

"The Man Who Fell To Earth" (1976) (David Bowie)
"Deathrace 2000" (1975)(John Carradine, S. Stallone in an early part before he broke out as a star)
"Performance" (1968) (Mick Jagger)
"How I Won The War" (1967) (John Lennon)
"Freeway" (1996) (Kiefer Sutherland, R. Witherspoon in one of her early roles before she became big-time)

Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs - Wooly Bully [HD video / Very Good picture ...

1965 - the year I turned 18, graduated from high school, started college, worked for a moving company in Kew West, FL for the first month of Summer vacation, traveled in Europe for the second month.


It was very weird, traveling in Europe that Summer of 1965, to find that I heard "Wooly Bully" playing every place young people congregated. Then, when I flew in to JFK coming home, the first thing I saw on the TV news - reports of the Watts riots in LA.
