Baby
Iggy Pop · Somebody [2011]
Baby, I'll sing you a lullabye
We're walking down the
Street of chance
Where the chance is always
Slim or none
And the intentions unjust
Baby there's nothing to see
I've already been
Down the street of chance
Baby you're so clean
Baby please stay clean
Baby you're so young
Baby please stay young
Baby, don't you cry
Baby, we've already cried
Baby - Iggy Pop

Released on the 2011 compilation album *Somebody*, the track captures the essence of his performance-driven approach, blending punk energy with a distinct pop sensibility that has defined his career since the 1970s. As a key figure in the New York punk scene and a pioneer of the glam rock movement, Pop's ability to channel primal emotion into his recordings remains unmatched. This song exemplifies his signature delivery, where aggressive vocals meet rhythmic precision, creating a sound that bridges the gap between his early underground roots and his mainstream appeal. It stands as a testament to his consistent ability to craft memorable, high-energy tracks that resonate across decades.
