Here’s a little archival nudity for your Thursday afternoon. An excerpt from Kiss My Blood, a 1991 concert film about an Iggy Pop gig at the Olympia in Paris directed by Tim Pope (the man behind Soft Cell’s notorious “Sex Dwarf” video), has surfaced over at Dangerous Minds.
In the clip, Iggy lets it all hang out during a rendition of The Stooges’ “I Wanna Be Your Dog.” Here’s Pope’s account of watching the footage with Iggy:
“I was the first person to watch an Iggy show with Iggy. He resembled a pert bird with tiny specs perched on his nose and wearing a Japanese, blue dressing-gown. He asked me if he had taken his clothes off in the show. He had forgotten. I told him he did and he looked (I thought) a little genuinely embarrassed about being bare-arsed.”
Check out the NSFW video after the jump! And see other performers naked on stage here.

Yech. I don’t want to see Iggy Pop dressed, let alone naked.
Iggy has been taking his clothes off in concert for years. I can remember being in the audience many times and witnessing it; you also never wanted to sit in the first 3 or four rows because Iggy always pissed on those people.
