Page "Party (Iggy Pop album)" Paragraph 1

When Arista heard the album, they brought in former Monkee producer, Tommy Boyce, to remix " Bang Bang ".

It was released as a single, charting at # 35 on the Billboard club play singles chart, and was later covered by David Bowie.

According to Iggy Pop's autobiography, I Need More, he wrote " Bang Bang " as Arista Records wanted a single and he promised them a commercial album.

He originally wanted Phil Spector or Mike Chapman to produce the song.

Iggy claimed he got idea for the song from reading All the Right Stuff at a local bookstore.
