Copyright infringement is the unauthorized use of works under copyright, infringing the copyright holder's "exclusive rights", such as the right to reproduce or perform the copyrighted work, spread the information contained within copyrighted works, or to make derivative works. It often refers to copying "intellectual property" without written permission from the copyright holder, which is typically a publisher or other business representing or assigned by the work's creator.
Copyright infringement is often associated with the terms piracy and theft. Although piracy connotes brazen high-seas robbery and kidnapping, it has a long history of use as a synonym for certain acts which were later codified as types of copyright infringement. Theft is more strongly hyperbolic, emphasizing or exaggerating the perceived harm of infringement to copyright holders who choose to utilize their copyrights for profit; it connotes a kind of loss which infringement may not actually effect, and the U.S. Supreme Court has even ruled that infringement does not "easily" equate with theft.
Iggy Pop (born James Newell "Jim" Osterberg, Jr.; April 21, 1947) is an American singer, songwriter, musician, and actor. Though considered an innovator of punk rock, Pop's music has encompassed a number of styles over the years, including pop, metal, jazz and blues. Pop became known as 'Iggy' in high school, during which time he served as drummer for local blues band The Iguanas. He is vocalist of influential protopunk band The Stooges (Pop and the other surviving members of the group reunited in 2003), having become known, since the late 1960s, for his outrageous and unpredictable stage antics.
Though the singer's popularity has waned and waxed throughout his career, Pop has recorded a number of well-known songs, including "Lust for Life", "Real Wild Child", "I Wanna Be Your Dog," "Candy" (a duet with Kate Pierson of The B-52's), "China Girl", "Nightclubbing", "Search and Destroy", and "The Passenger". The Stooges were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010

Entering the club at ten, Friday, payday, time to
spend.
Look around tryin' to find, the someone to blow my
mind.
But then I see her and time just stops for a while,
She looks like an angel to me, you should see her
smile.
The way that she dresses, the way she does everything,
She's perfect to me, I think I'll buy her a drink.
Chorus:
I've been watching you girl, and I like what I see,
Would you come home with me girl.
You're making me feel, like oh my god is this real.
Won't you be my special girlfriend!
I order a bottle of champagne,
Trying to figure what to say,
Me knees start trembling as I,
Walk towards her feeling high.
But then I see her and time just stops for a while,
She looks like an angel to me, you should see her
smile,
The way that she dresses, the way she does everything,
She's perfect to me, I think I'll buy her a drink.
Chorus...
When I saw you within a second I just knew,
Nothing could stop me girl from getting close to you.
And then she said:
I've been watching you boy, and I like what I see,
Can I go home with you boy,
You're making me feel, like oh my god is this real,
Could I be your special girlfriend...
