Lancaster-based psych-punk band The Lovely Eggs has followed-up last year's release of I Am Moron with a new single called "I, Moron" featuring the one and only Iggy Pop, released on 7" on the band's own Egg Records.
“Being in The Lovely Eggs we’re kind of used to surreal experiences but collaborating with Iggy Pop takes the biscuit,” singer/guitarist Holly Ross says in a statement. “It’s actually unbelievable. For him just to say nothing but ‘moron’ over and over again fitted in with the sentiment of the song perfectly. He just GOT it. We are all morons. In a world of moronic things. In a world of moronic ideas. You are moron. I am Moron. We are Moron.”
For the b-side, the band covers "Dum Dum Boys" from Pop's 1977 release, The Idiot.
Morons, behold:
