After reading the section of the Caputi article "The Metaphors of Radiation" about "Atomic Fashion," I thought of The Stooges' "Search and Destroy." The song was originally released on the 1973 album, Raw Power LP. The song's title is rumored to come from an article heading in Time Magazine about the Vietnam War.
While I feel we always need another excuse to listen to Iggy Pop, I also thought this song was important because it plays an important part in American pop culture. It was rated 468 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, has been covered by over 25 bands, has appeared on many movie and videogame soundtracks, and was even used by Nike in their 1996 Olympic campaign.
