Iggy Pop in cartoon

Iggy Pop will lend his voice to a youthful Secretary of Defense in an upcoming Comedy Central cartoon.

Iggy Pop, rock'n'roll star, plays Lil' Rummy, a bully figure in the basic cable's Lil Bush. The cartoon, which premiers June 13 mixes Muppet Babies with D.C. Follies, portraying the Oval Office's main players as cute little tykes ready to rule the world.

While Pop, who recently wrapped up touring with the reunited Stooges for The Weirdness (review) (Virgin), plays Rumsfeld, other rockers are on deck to voice cute, cuddly cartoon versions of themselves in the series. Frank Black, Jeff Tweedy and Dave Grohl have all confirmed upcoming appearances in the cartoon.
