David Bowie - Iggy Pop 'Night Clubbing'

"Nightclubbing" is a song written by David Bowie and Iggy Pop, first released by Iggy Pop on his debut solo studio album, The Idiot in 1977. It has been since considered as "a career highlight", along with "Lust for Life" and has been covered by many artists. It is also extensively featured on other media.

The song recorded in Berlin, features David Bowie on piano with the aid of a Roland drum machine. The drum sound was kept in spite of Bowie's desire for a real drummer. The lyrics were immediately written just after the instrumental recording, after Bowie's suggestion that he write about "walking through the night like ghosts." The song's riff has been perceived as a mischievous quote of Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll."
