American Idol doesn't exactly have punk cred, but that didn't stop the legendary Iggy Pop from showing up last night (April 7) to perform "Real Wild Child (Wild One)." A Johnny O'Keefe cover, it appeared on Pop's 1986 album, Blah Blah Blah.

Click on the video below to see Pop running around shirtless on national television. When Ryan Seacrest introduces him, he tells the TV-watching public, "I don't know if you're ready for this." No kidding.
