Lenny Kravitz "Black Velveteen"

[MegaDarktor]

I was listening to that CD with a bunch of different songs on it and then came that song that sound so different and refreshing,

I’ve heard Black velvet teen before but it’s as if it was the first time I was really grabbing the sense and meaning of it and I felt in love with the song ever since.

Song written for Vanessa Paradis.

[Blaubeerwald1]

@poulichexpress Why it's called Black Velveteen, then?

[poltergeistish]

why such low quality???????

[03lowlah]

I love this song. Such a shame he's underrated. Go Lenny!!! Electronic clit!! Perfect. I bet if that chic was buyable, she'd be out of stock by now. Oh! And for the nipple lovers, the uncensored version has nipples... I think.

Fact: do you know the house in this video is Lenny's house in Miami?

[adamslick11]

I love doing crack in my shed outside while jamming to this shidd!:DD

Strauss-Kahn's favorite video ! ;-)

[soberek]

Fuck the US have the right to legislate mein kampf-style 'PATRIOT act', but 'no nipples' act??? This isn't porn U christian fucks, it's art!!!

[TajanaNell]

[wutez]

AMAZING NICE TO SEE LENNY LOVE HIS BLACK CARIBBEAN SIDE AND HIS JEWISH SIDE FOR ALL YOU MIX PEOPLE OUT THERE LENNY IS A PRIME EXAMPLE THAT YOU CAN LOVE BOTH CULTURES BOTH RACES AND BE AT HARMONY WITH ONES SELF WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEINGS LOVE YOURSELF EVEN IF YOU ARE 5 DIFFERENT CULTURES EMBRACE HUMANITY AND ALL ITS PEOPLE * WHEN YOU START TO FIND THE BEAUTY IN YOU THEN YOU CAN FIND THE BEAUTY IN HUMANITY AND ALL ITS SHAPES AND COLORS

[1984slash]

@wutez I'd give u thumbs up if it wasn't all in caps

[pupucksgrl]

I don't much care if he's talking about a black or white or asian or whatever woman...this song should make ALL women feel empowered & sexy. Well, at least, it makes me feel that way. :)

[Blaubeerwald1]

@pupucksgrl It's a song about a female robot.

[ProductionOblivion]

Lenny gave me one of those silver bubble things on the wall, each one is a square and has like a double sided tape on the edges so they are like tiles but half mirrored bubbles! I still have it

[shesgottahaveit81]

When I was a teenager growing up in a small town in Connecticut this song changed me. It made me see that black women could be sexual objects in a different way then in hip hop videos. That my sexuality was a beautiful thing that could be felt by all men in a positive way. If someone a sexy a Lenny Kravitz said "my cat smells like strawberry kittens" then there was no limits to what I am.

[TheNemodoris]

awww lenny, u r so hot.....

[rosorio71]

Where in hell are the girl's nipples? Dah!

[aishaxoxobela]

@rosorio71 censored lol watch the original

[bxymox]

[brick0rockwell]

Y'know, we're getting closer to the reality of these song lyrics- REAL sex dolls that have programmed personalities. Lenny, majing future robo porn way back in '98...

[Millenaire2]

[fadiyah12]

[texasmarinemom]

C'mon Lenny let's go dance.

[TAXtheAtheist]

God damned cool....

[wetpaperbag100]

fuck len. the song is about black veletene.

[deefirst]

THE BADDEST SONG EVA

[clundall]

OMG!!!! I want to tie him up!!!! I wouldn't mind being his sex bot!!! YUM!!!!!

[babblebin]

this video is gross

[Dorienna]

One of the most sensual videos ever!

[CaptainInsano300]

Mmmmmmmmmmm...hot song...

[Chazz1225]

This song fukin rips!! The chorus is pure hectic. Completely awesome! I'm just wondering if the sex bot is actually the band's drummer. I mean they both look very alike but you can't tell cause the drummer is sillueted in shadow. Would anyone know?

[VexBlack]

@Chazz1225 uhh I've seen that drummer in other videos, she's light-skinned, and her hair is slightly different, but yeah it is hard to tell..

[Esmundos]

mega kawalek swietny po prostu,uczyc sie od lennego rocka mlode gwiazdy!!!

[raincoatlover]

Great tune, arrangement and video.

[saraphinn]

I hearrd he was celebrate. Go figure. That's show biz.

[CVskate1]

i like how it says electronic clit =P

[CaptAdams35]

Who's cooler than Lenny?.... no seriously.... crank it up at 1:18 and try not to break anything :~D

[koutrnick]

No1

[AITDS]

Oh and u people should see the humor in this song. Fuck all those metaphorical interpretations about society, this song is just about the ultimate sex bot. How awesome would something like that be. It's cool and hilarious at the same time.

[bdonohue1]

Yeah, this is about humanity's desensitization to love and intimacy. This song is basically an ad for Black Velveteen, a clone whose only purpose is to do housework and screw...which, considering our current path, may be closer than we might think. In my opinion. it is time for a Love Revolution.

[AITDS]

@bdonohue1

'in my opinion it is time for a Love Revolution'

You don't have to do that man. Really, don't be nerdy and instead just say what u think without the references.

[36midnight]

That line...Free from disease!!..lol. it cracks me up! And of course the song does rooock!!!

[zakaryasx]

I LOVE THE BEAT AT 2:15

[RhythmicRampage]

Black velveteen's cat smells like strawberry kittens i wona wat that could be atlkin about lol i think this is the clean version cus in my song it sez cunt not cat

[36midnight]

Lol..

[36midnight]

this song really rocks!!

[berrykrazie]

I first thought this song was objectifying woman but I read that Lenny came up with the idea because we are loosing touch with our humanity and it is being taken over with our connection with technology. We love then divorce, like some one then get bored with them, throw them away then want them back like a toy. His vision is a kool way to look at the future of humans if we keep going down this disconnected path.

The model in the video is so lucky I would love to have him wrap his arms around me

[rkd101]

I love Lenny K. Is he married? I want to be his wife. I would love to wake up next to Lenny every morning....

[PUPRLEPILLBABIES]

A BLACK woman leading his video...wOW a rare occasion but beautiful one to see someone who looks like me getting a piece of Lenny for a change. =D

[mlcoolk1]

@PUPRLEPILLBABIES

I agree with you 100% for I too was thrilled to see not only a black woman, but a dark skinned one at that in this video. Thanks Lenny for having this beautiful woman in your video to show that black women are beautiful just like every other woman on this earth.

[vadennotbaden]

@PUPRLEPILLBABIES

That's very true but still making women objects, be they black or white...

[MrBolaSete11]

@PUPRLEPILLBABIES If you look like that then I want to know you.

[mayract]

uuuff i could fuck lenny kravitz in this vid lol.. he looks really sexy.

[thebobbylavie]

No myth, that's THE men's house.

[MlekoNavic]

Is it true or myth that it has been made in Lenny`s own house?

[Awildo17]

This takes me back to the 5 or 6th grade....ahh the memories

[MrAnalProbe]

great fuckin song

[NerdQueen89]

he comes off like a rapist

[Lonesentrymusic]

i'm sorry, but i guess you realy miss the deeper meaning of this song... how sad...

[bandipup]

which is...

[Lonesentrymusic]

well, for him to come across like a rapist he shouldn't look so goddamn bored now would he ? besides, she seems quite ready to have sex without caring at all, i couldn't call it rape if she doesn't mind or give a damn about it..

so, where the nerdqueen gets the rape idea... ? i guess it's in her thoughts or something...

and who wants to fuck a dishwasher anyway....

[SuckMyKuloChicka]

Clip is awesome

[klabkebash]

1:34 Sound like David Bowie there.

[fernanjc21]

Sickest beat. One of the best song of Lenny Kravitz!

[rizer80]

this songs means 3 simple words: sex under rain.

[Chameleon703]

How does this song mean sex under rain? She is supposed to be a robot. She will rust!!! LOL

[douginamerica]

@Chameleon703

Well..it could be in the future where robots do not rust. Hhaha....who knows. The girl is hot.

[Chameleon703]

@douginamerica I guess she would be made from aluminum!!! LOL

[pressman95]

first time i ever heard this was at a titty bar. it kicked ass

[KolomparPista]

No, my friend. A piece of shit is what you enjoy eating. This here is pure synthesizer power.

[sheptropremix]

Whatever, to eachs own im a fan of lenny kravitz, but hes not some sex symbol and plus this song is garbage compared to rock n roll is dead, always on the run, again, stillness of heart.

[boGGbeatDown]

Keep it to yourself asshole, nobody cares.

[themoz3]

lenny, you make me so hot lenny, oh lenny benny

[yobba949]

she is wearing a bodysuit much like the mason wears in his videos and nobody said anything about that but when lenny made his video it got censor

[91grim91]

what kind of women is she

[musicfanatic6790]

Black velvet teen simple in clean ;-)

[ActivistOne472]

A robot
