19 on Billboard 's Hot Dance Music chart and No. "Cry for Love", described by Rolling Stone as "a ripping fusion of classic Iggy rage, Bowie cabaret and unexpected romantic vulnerability", made No. Other singles and videos from the album included "Cry for Love", "Isolation" and "Shades".

The song was featured on the soundtrack for the 1988 film Crocodile Dundee II and the 1990 film Pretty Woman, also both Problem Child films and has been the opening theme of the Australian ABC TV music block rage by using snippets along with Johnny O'Keefe's "Wild One" since its launch in 1987. 27 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock charts and became Pop's first Top 10 hit in the UK. Rolling Stone 's contemporary review complained of a "nagging homogeneity to side one" but continued that "even at its most familiar, Blah-Blah-Blah is as spiritually outraged and emotionally direct as commercial pop gets these days".
Release and reception ĭescribed by AllMusic as "the most calculatedly commercial album of Iggy's career", Blah-Blah-Blah was certified gold in Canada (more than 50,000 copies sold). It has never been specified what tracks on the album, if any, originated during the sessions of Bowie's 1984 album Tonight (that album's co-producer, Hugh Padgham, has recalled that Bowie and Pop collaborated on some songs that Bowie ultimately rejected for inclusion on Tonight). Bowie biographer David Buckley has reported that Pop "virtually disowned" the record, calling it "a Bowie album in all but name".
The remaining tracks were co-written by Bowie, who also produced the album with David Richards but, unlike his previous work with Pop, The Idiot and Lust for Life (both 1977), did not play any instruments, although he did contribute with backing vocals. The collection included a cover of Johnny O'Keefe's " Wild One" (here titled "Real Wild Child (Wild One)" and three original songs co-written with ex- Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones. A successful tour followed the album's release. Blah-Blah-Blah appeared after a four-year hiatus for Pop, with David Bowie serving as his prime collaborator. Originally released in October 1986, on the label A&M, it remains his most commercially successful album to date. Written by Nick Levine, Adam Feldman, Hank Shteamer, Sophie Harris, Zach Long, Gabrielle Bruney, Tolly Wright, Bryan Kerwin and Matthew Singer.Blah-Blah-Blah is the seventh studio album by American musician Iggy Pop. Choose one of these 50 all-timers next time you’re heading out for a night of soused singalongs and you’re sure to receive the standing ovation you deserve. In most situations, though, you’ll want to stick to the standards: party jams, melodramatic love songs, theatrical arena rock belters, rap songs that everyone knows (and don’t contain any problematic language that’ll make the whole bar cringe depending on who’s performing). It’s also not a place for snobbery – there are plenty of specialty nights out there if you want to tackle your favourite Pavement b-side or attempt to approximate Kate Bush’s warble. No one wants to hear you growling a 20-minute stoner metal dirge or stumbling over your own tongue as you try to keep up with some Eminem speed-rap marathon. But choosing the right karaoke song is crucial. It doesn’t matter if you have Mariah Carey’s octave range or if you sing like Oscar the Grouch on a weekend bender: on that stage, wherever it may be, every voice is equal.
