History Music / LustForLife

* AlternateAlbumCover: The original vinyl cover has a monochrome border matching the photo, but CD versions and some vinyl reissues have a yellow border.

* LyricalDissonance: "Lust for Life" is a pumping track about celebrating life, though it also deals with cutting a drug habit. This hasn't stopped many advertisers to use it as a cheery song in advertisements or other people to think it glorifies a life of SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll.

* FaceOnTheCover: Iggy's smiling face.

* ShoutOut:
** The lyrics of "Lust for Life" contain a number of references to Creator/WilliamSBurroughs' experimental novel ''The Ticket That Exploded,'' most notably mentions of "Johnny Yen" (described by Burroughs as "The Boy-Girl Other Half strip tease God of sexual frustration") and "hypnotizing chickens."
** Music/DavidBowie referenced "The Passenger" in his song "The Stars (Are Coming Out Tonight)" from "The Next Day" (2013)
** Both "Lust for Life" and "The Passenger" have been featured on the soundtrack of ''Film/{{Trainspotting}}.''
** The song "Some Weird Sin" is alluded to in Music/{{Spoon}}'s song "The Way We Get By" from their "Kill the Moonlight" LP (2002).

''Lust for Life'' is the second studio album by Music/IggyPop, released in 1977. It was released in the same year as his first solo album, ''Music/TheIdiot'' and is the second of three to be co-produced and co-written by Music/DavidBowie (the third being 1986's ''Blah-Blah-Blah''). Unlike ''The Idiot'', which was primarily a Berlin Trilogy prototype, ''Lust for Life'' moves closer into the style of Pop's earlier work with Music/TheStooges, being a HardRock album rooted strongly in his ProtoPunk background with his former band. Bowie would later cover both "Tonight" and "Neighborhood Threat" for on his 1984 album ''Music/{{Tonight}}'', which itself featured two original songs co-written by Pop.
