Although lyrically very simple, “Nightclubbing” is an art-rock staple. Written jointly by Iggy and producer David Bowie, it features Iggy on lead vocals and Bowie on piano, with percussion (uncharacteristically for Bowie) being provided by a drum machine.

The song has retrospectively been considered one of Iggy’s best, an appeared on the soundtrack to Danny Boyle’s adaptation of Irvine Welsh’s Trainspotting.

The lyrics were written after Bowie laid down the instrumental track, partially inspired by an off-the-cuff suggestion from Bowie that Iggy write about “walking like a ghost”.

The drum track was famously sampled by Nine Inch Nails in their 1994 hit “Closer”
