The last two minutes of this song are bar none the most intense moments in all of rock, including any form of punk or metal. It's kind of not even a contest. It's so shambolic and mad that I don't know that the Stooges were even in control of themselves at the time and as it's a studio recording that's a hell of an effect to pull off. Just imagine being at karaoke night and trying to replicate Iggy's performance. You'd die. You'd ****ing die. And everyone there would probably be really pissed off.
The pendulum has definitely swung for me. "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker" is not a better rock song than "Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell". It's simply impossible to be better.
