Przekształcanie wzorców w muzyce rockowej – przypadek No Fun zespołu The Stooges
Transformations of models in rock music – the case of No Fun by The Stooges

Summary/Abstract: The article tracks a connection between songs No Fun by The Stooges and Johnny Cash’s I Walk The Line that Iggy Pop briefly hinted in a Dutch documentary named Lust For Life. The rocker declared that the Cash’s piece was used by The Stooges as a pattern for No Fun. Indeed, the analysis of both songs’ structures makes many of their similarities clear but also exposes elements in which No Fun significantly differs, like its tonality and construction of phrases. After a recognition of Iggy Pop’s short career as a blues musician involved in the American blues revival and some structural features of blues, it appears possible that the aforementioned differences could be derived from structures of the latter that got blended with the country music pattern.
