American Caesar is a 1993 album by Iggy Pop. After the success of Brick by Brick, Pop opted to continue with that album's lyrical themes while toughening up the musical foundation. Consequently, the album is often considered one of his stronger 90's albums. The cover of the UK edition contained the following text: "Parental Warning: this is an Iggy Pop record". Videos were made for "Wild America" and "Beside you". Other notable moments on the album include "Highway Song" and an ambitious cover of the 60s standard "Louie Louie" (made famous by The Kingsmen) for which Iggy wrote his very own set of humorous, politically fueled lyrics. It was later used during the opening credits of Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story. The first single from the album, "Wild America", reached number 25 on Modern rock tracks. The album was not as commercially successful as its predecessor, but it did fare well in the UK and sold well throughout the 90s in America.
