Thank you to everyone who made this such a special day for us, we can’t do any of the work without your help, and especially to the pupils and teachers who bring the progamme to life!

We couldn’t do any of these without the support we receive from people such as The Care Trust, Google, Hibernia Real Estate Group Ltd, Irish Youth Foundation The Community Fund, Rethink Ireland ESB Enterprise and all of our supporters. Malie Coyne chats with Co-founders Paula McLoughlin and Niall Breslin live entertainment from Michelle Connolly and Don King, all MC’d by Andrew Jenkinson and Leda Connaughton who are pivotal to the programme’s success. We had a wonderful day full of talks from experts Dr. Dylan from Perth, AustraliaAlot of people dont know that Iggy was David Bowies hero, and Bowie actually help with the production of the song.A proud day for everyone at A Lust For Life today as we officially launched our Schools Programme!.Iggy could have been a consultant for the movie.

Jet?.Hannah from Hampshire, England, United KingdomSuch an exhilarating song! And, yes, it was Jet that did 'Are you gonna be my girl'.Interesting side note there is a movie that starred Kirk Douglas as Vincent VanGogh called Lust For Life. Joel from Columbia, ScI liked this song only because it was in Danny Boyle's Trainspotting.There's also a story that it got cut off in a sword fight with the artist Paul Gaugin during said fight. Rick from Brooklyn, Ny, Ny'I've had it in the ear before' is a reference to the fact that Van Gogh supposedly cut off his ear as a tribute to a prostitute.Chris from South Surrey, BcQuite possibly the ultimate, never-gets-tired song.Homo Beatlecus from UkTravis sampled the drums for their song Selfish Jean.I may be 60+, don't think the young crew have anywhere near the fun we had.

it was awesome, Chrissie comes on the stage, gets on her knees, and kisses the the floor, gets up and states she worships the ground Iggy Pop walked on.

Paul from Brockville, Ont, CdaIggy opened up for Chrissie Hynde in '87.

And to me, it's just great that it's out there in any form for someone to hear.' With this campaign, he got paid, and not eager to bite the hand, said, 'I actually enjoyed Royal Caribbean's usage. Pop controlled the rights to his performance of the song, which is what Royal Caribbean used, but couldn't stop companies from using re-recorded versions which often appeared without his approval. And while some of Pop's fans were outraged, he loved it. Most viewers didn't make the heroin association, but that's true of the song in general, as the rousing chorus is what cuts through. The campaign began in 2001 and ran for nearly a decade, befuddling fans who marveled at the incongruity, but effectively marketing the product, as Royal Caribbean was reaching out to a younger demographic and positioning their cruises as more of an adventure and less about the shuffleboard and buffets. Because of its chorus that can be interpreted as a message to live life to its fullest, this song is often used in commercials, including one for Royal Caribbean Cruises where the advertisement jumps from the opening line 'Here comes Johnny Yen again' straight to the chorus 'Lust for life,' conveniently omitting all the interim references to liquor, drugs, 'flesh machines,' and stripteases.
