Lou Reed- Walk on the Wild Side

[akbukturkey]

Dear old Mick Ronson played on this as did his mate David Bowie

[8Blackened8]

no it's boring

[LolaLavonda]

the first time i heard this song im like "what the hell?? why do people like this it's the most boring song in all of history!" but now it's kinda catchy...

[theSodMonster]

@LolaLavonda it's not boring... it's mellow

[LolaLavonda]

@theSodMonster well yeah, i meant i don't think it's boring anymore.

[jaelenhskn]

after hearing this on the movie Guess Who i juss had to find out watt this song wazz and i found it lol

[Dangit2019]

This my shelter after listening to, well, you know.

[krzemianpl]

Sounds like it would suit Californication well

[LaFeclaz]

My band wants to play this song. Initially I feared to become asleep before the end of the song, but the singers offered me to include a guitar solo -- thanks, I appreciate.

[LaFeclaz]

The most boring song of the rock world! God, how is it possible to stay on these two chords so long.

[MrMentllet]

@LaFeclaz fuck you, that's how

[theSarahendrix]

@MrMentllet hahaha marry me please

[americangtt]

@MrMentllet is a homo

[MrMentllet]

@americangtt is an insecure child

[TwelvetreeZ]

I LOVE this song, made me think of jungles when I was a kid, which I guess is still accurate in a way, considering it's about the urban jungle...

[pinkhem]

Can I kick it? Yes ya can!

[ClockworkAnimal1]

this will be playing on my funeral I hope.

[gibboj94]

I don't care if Metallica and Lou Reed have a shitty album together I just wanna enjoy the music!

<3 

[troyvanbarter]

this is a great song...period

[Crapweeds]

Can I kick it?

[MsSaintlyone]

OK who all has listened to this song their whole lives and not realized it is a song about a transvestite?

[davidls11]

@MsSaintlyone How could anyone not know that? Same with the Kinks' 'Lola'. Both great songs.

[D3sdinova]

@davidls11

Fact: songs about transvestites are always good

[davidls11]

@D3sdinova Yep. Sex with them can be fun too.

[D3sdinova]

@davidls11

it sure can, david

as long as she, uhm i mean he is good looking

[waynesbeck]

@MsSaintlyone she wasnt a tranny, she was young and it was the fiirst time she shaved her legs!

[topazio666]

@waynesbeck she IS a tranny,her name is holly woodlawn... and also candy darling and jackie curtis are transvtestites and Lou Reed wrote the song for them. And there is also John d'Alessandro, fetish actor for Warhol!!!

[maxair95]

@MsSaintlyone The song received wide radio coverage, despite its touching on taboo topics such as transsexuality, drugs, male prostitutes and oral sex, thx wikipedia.

[TheSpyChecker]

@MsSaintlyone lolwut? it's kinda obvious really....still a great song

[campanellonick]

@MsSaintlyone it's about the superstars man. the SUPERSTARS.

[AKLPUNDERGROUND]

@MsSaintlyone Actually its about several transvestites

[akbukturkey]

@MsSaintlyone Just the people who haven't listened to it, or know of Lou Reed, or have the album cover ;-)

[musicofEagle]

42 people to walk back.

[THARSHTILDEATH]

Still a fan of lou reed and metallica even no they DO NOT MIX

[MarkAllenChannel]

The mindsets of the colored girls would dominate this song today. It's great to hear this old music where you don't go away feeling like you just watched a Jerry Springer show.

[asskandy5]

40 people are tables now

[jodi183]

Pretty sure the guys from Metallica dig this song.

[Medic83301]

LEGENDARY !

[loopalacrosse]

@00TIDIS00 you sound fucking stupid. if you think politics, war and history are what matter then you kinda missed the point of life. your stuck at the train station. If you look at your ticket closely it will say ignorant fuckhead.

[hirziify]

@loopalacrosse I wasn't elaborating enough. it's music NOW, i mean The strokes. not of all time. and it isn't terrible, and that's because you can't accept indie-rock or garage rock genre.. Or you have only listened to Angles album, which isn't very accepting to first-time-Strokes listeners. Real music are The beatles, Journey, Queen, Aerosmith and all that. i'm not actually a fan of metal rock or the subgenres or the deriative genres of it like metalcore or whatnot. go listen to you metallica

[hirziify]

@hirziify wait, SHIT. wrong person :P i was trying to send to 00TIDIS00

terribly SORRY. what a waste of time, typing that long lecture :P sorry. honestly.

[hirziify]

@loopalacrosse HAHAAHAH again, sending myself a comment? pssshh.

honestly sorry. wrong person :P i was trying to send to 00TIDIS00. damned youtube system :P that was an honest mistake

[1andycody]

@loopalacrosse History repeats itself so besides being very interesting is usefull in foresight. but yea I totaly agree war and politics are not the point of life

[NoWorries97]

@00TIDIS00 nobody asked you to listen to this awesome song, go listen to metalica and fuck off

[DaftRetrop]

Though it was Tribe Called Quest at first

[UD4LTV]

@DaftRetrop they sampled this song

[00TIDIS00]

how dare this talentless fuck be even metioned with the musical genious of metallica.

[GelGsound]

@00TIDIS00 lol.

[matteogege92]

@00TIDIS00 have you got an idea of how influential lou reed and the velvet underground were??

[00TIDIS00]

@matteogege92 who cares. boring boring boring

[hirziify]

@00TIDIS00 HAHAHAHAHAHA. i'm sorry. yeah, you're the 'genious'. can't even spell genius right. and secondly, i bet you're a metallica fan, and you like metalcore, hardcore and all that hard rock subgenres, and you can't accept Lou Reed's genre which is blue-eyed soul. i know you don't care about these things i've said, but i want to prove you wrong, sir. and matteogege92's right. without Velvet underground, there wouldn't be real music nowadays such as the strokes, or arctic monkeys.

[00TIDIS00]

@hirziify its easy to insult people about grammar which is absolutely a terrible arguement we can go back and forth on that. you dont capitalize after your periods but i could care less about that. real music? the strokes? terrible music if you ask me. it does not compare to the fast pace technicality of metal such as the glorious harmonization that would make even Mozart shed a tear. not even to mention metals lyrics towards things that actually matter politics, war, history.

[imseriouslythebest]

@00TIDIS00 You obviously don't understand music. Music is free from opinion, free from boundaries.

[spider903dz]

Sampled for a tribe called quest song- Can i kick it

[LaneyWales2k9]

@spider903dz fucking tune aswell

[Uzbach]

He sounds good here because he's not with Metallica

[LouiseJaneCunningham]

i remember ikea playing this song once.. I think i sang a bit too loud! :O

[fx662s]

[dream703maker]

How can you stop from smiling while listening to this? :)

[aslanmemcup]

Yea...and the 36 folks who DID hit the dis-like butten..

I cant think of all that much to say ..other then that 36 folks...are REAL close to the deep end ...and already are WAY off in left fielld....as well as well as .WELL on their way to

--and here grins--TAKIN that long walk on the wild side .

( Yea ..the wild side --of sanity maybe )

[01YoDaddy]

666............ devil worshipper ayyye...

[tfred1211]

@01YoDaddy ayyyy u a native huh?

[01YoDaddy]

@tfred1211 yeah..

[fooloof]

"And the colored girls sing..."

They are actually 3 white girls from UK. They are called "Thunderthighs."

Their songs, such as "Central Park Arrest" can be found here on Youtube.

[zachleda]

@fooloof huh.

[fooloof]

@zachleda: if you listen to this song, there's the line that goes "and the colored girls sing..."

and then you hear a group of girls singing. I am saying that these girls are not "colored", which is what they used to call black people in the 50s, 60s and 70s. These girls are white and they are English, to boot. I was surprised. They sound black to me.

[Azrectesh]

Can I kick it?

[20sackjack]

@Azrectesh Yes you can!

[jacksonprinceful]

@Azrectesh yes you can

[inaccav0aihpos]

@Azrectesh exactly what i was thinking!

[tinadenfinaNOT]

this is amazing. he shouldnt have taken a walk on the wild side with metallica tho..

[11ccook]

I AM THE TABLE!

[MrDeviousPixie]

table?

[gnarkillkicksass]

I am a Metallica and Lou Reed fan. Just not together.

Just in the same way I don't mix an awesome morning coffee with a nice afternoon beer...

It is possible to be a fan of both.

[armandahammer]

@gnarkillkicksass

You can't mix a morning coffee with an afternoon beer, without a time machine.

[alegremetalhead]

@armandahammer would you actually LIKE to mix em? I think it would be disgusting...

[armandahammer]

@alegremetalhead

What? Coffee with Beer? I've had plenty of delicious beers that contain coffee flavors, aka coffee stouts, so I'm sure it wouldn't be entirely unbearable. Having said that, no I would not, the comment was satirical.

[katerinahra]

@armandahammer yes you can! be irish :)

[Macsniper86]

@katerinahra

ew. no thanks.

[ChrisYonts]

@gnarkillkicksass It's really hard to mix Lou Reed with anything.

[Macsniper86]

@ChrisYonts

Unless you're A Tribe Called Quest!

[zachleda]

@gnarkillkicksass duh.

[marligure78]

@gnarkillkicksass é possibile credo anche io ascolto musico OI la amo ma ascolto i pink floyd i love la buona musica!!!!!

[GabrielTheDrummer96]

@gnarkillkicksass so am I. Lou Reed is fucking brilliant, and Metallica used to be great! It's possible!

[ell3y]

@gnarkillkicksass Exactly man! Exactly...

[Bpittardjr]

@gnarkillkicksass of course it is. You can be a fan of whatever music that makes you tick. I go from Eminem to the Beatles and in between in a heart beat.

[CrinkleCutBeatroot]

@Bpittardjr yawn

[rkoalldae]

@gnarkillkicksass what if you wake like 10 minutes before noon and krush a coffee than start drinking brews? i think that would be sick...

[pingui0987]

@gnarkillkicksass im fan of the cure and led zeppelin and pink floyd and nirvan and alicia keys and mary j blinge and metallica and velvet underground and guetto boyz and tupac

[Greenday4lifex92]

@gnarkillkicksass Finally someone who talks sense! Im 100% with you on that.

[gamsamvaldes]

I love it

[drummerboy14T]

Can I kick it - A Tribe Called Quest and Wildside - Marky Mark.... those were the days

[leilighet205]

Jesus christ...the profanity must end dudes, I love you!

[MrDoobie6]

I AM THE FUCKING TABLE!

[123jsbach]

Always up for a walk on the wild side ;)

[venom0usvampire]

30 people are tables

[TaterGumfries]

Don't usually like this kinda music, but this is pretty good

[KIDAmnesiacBends]

@TaterGumfries

well you should like this kind of music then...its the best stuff there is

[eepetius]

Why is everyone dissing Metallica? I like them.

I'm 14 and very new to Lou Reed. I like this music. Why diss it? D:

[allinrocks]

i am the table!

[PhunkyPhishPhan]

I love the 12 year olds that bash on Lou Reed. The man is a fucking legend. Like his or music or not, you should still respect his solo stuff and the Velvet Underground for their place in music history.

[Lildrummerboy50]

Lou Reed is a fucking legend. Enough said...

[gogolplex74]

table

[masterofmetallica09]

Jesus, he sucks as much as Metallica, Lulu must become the worst shit ever. (Yeah I have Metallica in my name, they died when Cliff did.)

[vthunder39]

@masterofmetallica09 You know, i'm gettin' tired of all these trolls. There's was a time when it was kinda funny, but now you just need to find somethin' better to do.

[masterofmetallica09]

@vthunder39 Dude, I'm not a troll. I'm someone with an opinion, which everyone has. I love classical music, Jazz, Blues, Rock, Metal and old school hip hop and I'm studying musicology at the moment, don't be telling me I'm a troll. I'm just a guy with an opinion...

[goteggs1234]

29 people are metallica fans

[hirtlol]

@goteggs1234 LOL!

[cuddleshuddles]

My mum made me watch this (When I want to watch my stuff!) , but it's actually kinda cool LOL!

[usernameismyrealname]

@cuddleshuddles bottom line: your mom is cool!

[gonzocurt]

What a nice groove, eh? Mr. Bowie on sax, right?

[alecluke844]

What a rummy s.o.b. and hes going to "sing" (more like mumble and choke) with Metallica??? God what a loser.

[killercan10]

I AM THE TABLE

[heatmanson]

@killercan10 hahahhahah

[Shinzu92]

@killercan10 God, I wish that never happened. That had to have been the worst song metallica ever made.

[deejayteecee]

and the colored girls go....

[SamuraiClintonMusic]

Maybe I'll make a parody to this song too, since it's relatively simple to convert to an instrumental for that type of preparation.

[kelsa3]

in the backroom she was everybody's darlin ;)

[Tomasz4Poland]

reminds me coffee shop in Amsterdam...

[normenps]

nope singing first song out now The view

[xo1tom1ox]

is going to be singing in the new metallica album or is he just writting the music.

[RattleheadMoney95]

@xo1tom1ox Unfortunately he provides (Very bad) vocals.

[jimsteffel]

Definitely not a one-hit wonder. I grew up with this music and Sweet Jane was probably more popular than Walk on the Wild Side. Better dope music : ) Maybe a two-hit wonder though.

[jamirosmajicrocks]

this is so new york, i dont know.

[september340]

His songs fucking blow. But he is doing an album with Metallica and it blows. Glad it not an official Metallica album

[JustStayDown90]

@september340 What do you mean it's "not an official Metallica album"? It's got their name on it, and they're playing music in it.

[alecazam3567]

Waking up to this song is amazing ;)

[SeeYouNextTuesday0]

Lou Reed is a one hit wonder!

[oldmanpinkerton]

@SeeYouNextTuesday0 No he's not. Satellite of Love, Vicious, Street Hassle, Perfect Day and much much more.

[SeeYouNextTuesday0]

@oldmanpinkerton I guarantee the average person, even those that grew up in this era of music, only know him by this song. I didn't say this was his only song.

[790361]

walked on wild to often good at time alison pups

[crocqpot]

what happened with lulu? this si gold! lulu is shit! i guess old age effects your voice.

[ferdinandsouz]

Great finale by David Bowie...

[natan0nashton]

[alewis18]

2+ people are dumb enough to make "[number] this many people don't know good music..." statements when that number is obviously going to change.

[DocSkribblez]

Lou Reed mixes talking and singing

[MEYERS3000]

One of the chillest songs ever written.

[samastardust]

This song is amazing. Lou Reed is amazing. Velvet Underground is amazing. Ezra Koenig is amazing for getting his inspiration to write "Taxi Cab" by VAMPIRE Weekend from THIS song.

[doitboy]

Dah Man Mr. Reed

[Ant77Ant]
