Posted by You may be cool, but you’ll never be Iggy Pop’s parrot dancing to Sleaford Mods cool.
The genial Godfather of Punk keeps a fine young cockatoo, who has developed a fandom all of its own.
Over the weekend, a clip featuring the parrot dancing went viral, with Iggy’s laidback demeanour largely the cause.
Stooges frontman and 6Music personality, he simply lets the world pass him by – and more power to him.
The parrot is seen dancing to Sleaford Mods in the clip, gyrating to their track ‘tweet tweet tweet’.
Check it out – alongside some reactions – below.
Don’t be silly about it.
