    Sorry...I couldn't get a message to send to you so here's your bonus fact for Iggy Pop's "The Idiot."

    If you wanted to sing "You let me violate you..." during the opening kick-drum to "Nightclubbing," that's because Trent Reznor sampled the beat as the intro to Nine Inch Nails' biggest hit "Closer" from the album "The Downward Spiral."

    I'm glad you posted it as a comment so everyone else can enjoy the bonus fact! I haven't heard much Iggy besides the 1000 Recordings entry Raw Power, so I hadn't heard "Nightclubbing" before (can't say I enjoyed it), but still good to know. Too bad you didn't wait a day, I just posted about Iggy today!
