The Stooges never did happy love songs: ‘Ann’ is, along with ‘Little Doll’ and ‘I Wanna Be Your Dog’, an ode to a cruel and domineering lover from their debut self-titled album. The feeling of alienation and fear is musically enhanced by Iggy Pop’s echoed vocals and the dark shimmer of Ron Asheton’s guitar.

Ann is a reference to the The Stooges hometown: Ann Arbor, Mich, where the campus of the University of Michigan is located.
