Everybody in my church loves this song...
the band got its name — Velvet Underground — from Marquis de Sade's description of the rectum...

One of my fav VU tunes! I absolutely love Lou Reeds guitar in this one! Even though I prefer the original with Nico, the song is so fantastic as long as Lou is pumpin out that riff, 10! |

Ummm,.... they were pretty influential. It was said that probably only 10,000 people bought their albums initially. But they all started a band. Perhaps a mild exageration crockydile wrote:I wish they would stay under ground. Never understood why people listen to these guys. Then again, I also don't understand why old men pull their socks up so high...just a matter of taste, I guess.

I was looking at the songs you rated (that 18 Dogs song was great, wasn't it?) and I can see why you like this. June Tabor did a version of this with the Oysterband that's okay; the original is sung by a woman named Nico (who was in the Velvet Undrground for a while) who had a cool icy voice. If you like this, you are kind of required to delve deeper into their world further—-much later music was influenced by them. |

just a thought....but who do you think would be best to cover Nico's parts?
this sounds more like "all tomorrow's hangovers"!

It's their song, they wrote it , they can sing it. I have the demos and I need to check whether it was John or Lou on the demo. |

Indeed. Saw him more than 15 years or so in a very small club in Chicago and he hit it that night. Amazing. |

This doesn't sound like Louie, at least on the vocals.
Refreshing, but a little disappointing. I love Lou.
Wow - both at 1152 Pacific - a tie |

Sung by John Cale as he was alive at the time of this live recording and Nico was not. A great one by the band that they couldn't not play on the reunion tour. |

I like the old version with the piano more, but I still dig this enough to rank it a 10...
