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!{#Clap} Even though I prefer the original with Nico, the song is so fantastic as long as Lou is pumpin out that riff, 10!{#Cheers}

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

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.

since Nico was on vocals originally and she's dead, I think John (Cale) is acceptable in this case

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...
