He began using the stage name 'Iggy' after he was called so in his high school band. The American singer and songwriter is considered to be a king of punk rock and rock music as a whole, influencing the innovation of the music genre. Iggy Pop created a new version of the song after its initial release. 'Wild One' is now considered a classic Australian rock song by critics and fans from across the globe.
The Australian rock hit peaking at number 20 in the national charts, and enjoyed widespread popularity when Crocodile Dundee 2 was released. Also known as 'Real Wild Child', the song was originally sung by Johnny O'Keefe along with two of his music associates. The dog and cat have been domesticated to be companions of humans for a reason: They provide us a lot of things that humans just can’t.nstThe song 'Wild One' from the film Crocodile Dundee 2 was sung by Iggy Pop. You know what I mean? They’re both such grounding presences. She needs her sticks! She needs her rocks. But like, when you have to take care of a dog… Nadia needs to go out no matter what’s going on in your life. It’s so easy to get caught up in things that don’t matter. Did your pets ease your mental health, in particular, during the pandemic?ġ,000% - such a game-changer! I cannot live without having relationships with animals like that. Basically, just feeling the safety of knowing that it is going to be okay. There’s a song, “Into the Wild,” which tries to capture a moment of being outside in the woods in winter while having a panic attack. A song like “Desire,” which is one of my singles, is about feeling really supported. They just give me so much love and security that they definitely inspire me in many ways, but not directly in my lyrics. But yeah, they do end up making it into recordings for no other reason than they won’t stop making noise when I’m recording. I had a vocal take on one of my songs where, at the end, Nadia was barking. Do either Kosha or Nadia ever find their ways into your songs? I feel like we’re living in times that are being driven by the Arkons, these invisible rulers that are lording over us and turning us to towards evil.Ĭourtesy of Zola Jesus It says a lot about how she’s very connected to you. Well, they’re not necessarily Christian, but they thought the Arkons were these malevolent forces that were leading humanity astray from their intended goodwill. I was more inspired by this mystical Christian group called the Gnostics. They think I’m in pain or something.They both take up a lot of space in my house, energetically, which is always funny. Nadia once wanted to go outside while I was working on a song, and she got so excited when she saw something out the window that she knocked over my monitors - my speakers - and broke them! Sometimes it’s even hard to practice opera or play piano. If I start singing, Nadia will start howling and then Kosha will start meowing. It’s actually kind of frustrating, because they’re not very patient with my singing. But he just kind of sticks around the house.Ĭourtesy of Zola Jesus Do you let them hang out when you’re making music? That’s how I got him: He was found just near a creek somewhere random. So I got him a little whistle, because I was so afraid of him running off. He demands it! He would not shut up until I let him go outside. I’m guessing your cat is also an outdoor cat? I now live on the land where I grew up, so my parents, who have four dogs, could take care of my animals when I was gone.
I was living in LA, and for a while, in Seattle. When I started making music and touring a lot, I felt like, “Oh, I can’t have pets, because I’m always traveling.” That was a big reason I moved back to Wisconsin. Pets have always been a huge part of my life. The sort of the anxieties of society are not present in the woods. I grew up in the woods and being in nature is very restorative. Well, it really allows me to just connect to my most relaxed state of being. Courtesy of Zola Jesus In which ways does being in nature around animals inspire you and make you a better musician?
