The lyrics to Pop (Iggy)'s song "Funtime" may seem nonsensical at first, with repeated lines about liking someone's lips and pants and the refrain of "All aboard for funtime." However, upon closer examination, it becomes clear that the song is about the desire to escape from reality and embrace a carefree, hedonistic lifestyle.
The repeated lines about liking someone's lips and pants could be interpreted as a representation of the hedonistic mindset - someone who is only interested in the physical pleasures of life. The lyrics about getting stoned and running around and talking to Dracula and his crew further emphasize this desire for a surreal, fantastical escape from reality.
The repeated refrain of "All aboard for funtime" is a call to action, urging listeners to join in on this carefree lifestyle. The song suggests that there is no need for heavy trips or deep introspection - just do what you want to do and have fun.
Overall, "Funtime" is a celebration of hedonism and escapism, encouraging listeners to embrace the pleasure-seeking side of life.

One of the top 5 all time albums for me. Still sounds nocturnal, fresh and unique.
@QuickTop5WikiHistory
Yes it is!
@switchfoote7636
Great description.
@georgeharrison70
The Idiot is a brilliant album. Truly mindblowing how the Idiot was released in 1977; ahead of its time by a decade or two. Iggy Pop is awesome!!
@jonbryant934
don't forget about the MC 5
@marcosruiz1709
It's actually a David Bowie album.
@nikolausgerszewski2086
not ahead of its time, but preciesely on time!

"I don't need no heavy trips
I just do what I want to do"
Words to live by.
@mmmoosk
Just think. In one year, 1977, David Bowie made no less than 4 brilliant albums that have stood the test of time: Low, Heroes, The Idiot, Lust For Life. That's more than most artists accomplish in a lifetime.

He did much better work earlier. Heroes was the last for me; "Joe the Lion" was so bad I didn't want to hear what he did next. OTOH "Blackout" was one of my favorite Bowie songs ever.
