COBRAS - I Wanna Be Your Love
ALBUM I Wanna Be Your Love / Instant Heartache (7", 45 RPM, Single)(1966)
Instant heart attack! Talk about an unrelenting, two-sided stinger of a disc … The Cobras' "I Wanna Be Your Love" 45 hasn't budged from legendary status for decades. It's got all the ingredients — maniacal gruff vocal yowls, venomous guitar, nonstop bass runs, over-the-top drumkit action — and first-rate songwriting to match. I mean, what else sounds like "Instant Heartache" out there? A bit of Boston folklore, courtesy of Erik Lindgren: "Jeff Conolly (DMZ/Lyres) was on a film shoot with Iggy Pop and there was some downtime. Jeff played him the Cobras 45 on a boom box and Mr. Pop was supposedly downright frightened by the intensity of the songs." Of course, we can't vouch for what chemicals were in Ig's system at the time, but hey … they scared the Stooge!
