Andy's Chest - The Velvet Underground

[larrymutiny]

sic version

[Baztacula]

This is the first time I've ever heard this recording... I didn't even know it existed. I really like the Transformer version, it has such a cool vibe, all slowed down and then when the drums burst in, it's just the bee's knees.

[pacdaM81]

Is this better than Reed's Transformer version? It's one of those questions I don't even care to engage, both are remarkable if you ask me.

[coldethyl86]

I think I prefer the transformer version...this is good though, sounds like Elvis on acid.

[rafstubeID]

lou reed/transformer version > this version

[HaYourSelf]

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?!

[TomThumbsBlues1965]

@HaYourSelf good music

[ittspitts]

If I could be any one of the things in the world that bite

Instead of a dentured ocelot on a leash i'd rather be a kite

And be tied to the end of your string, flying in the air at night

Genius

[nimrodbychoice]

this is one of those songs I want to sing to my future kids before bed :)

[Hister333]

This is a TERRIBLE response to someone who's just been shot. I can't believe the rest of the band would even play this...

[Vesters1]

@Hister333 you're terrible

[stankler]

this album is velvets hi fi amazing.whoever mixed this shit is a fucking genius

[CreepyClownPro]

The base line sounds like a donkey kong video game :)

Lovely!

[vanechavez27]

oh shit i dint know this was a VU song!

[BejnXander]

Lou sounds like he is singing 'cuckoo' rather than 'askew'.

[kil2148]

I think he says 'dentured ocelot'.

Also, does he say ' and if the last time you were here, they were a bit coocoo' rather than what it says in the lyrics 'things were a bit askew'?

:)

[lyntonreed]

instead of a "tensioned" ocelot on a leash ....

what does he say ! tethered ocelot maybe ?

what word is it I need to know !!!!!

love this early version first time ive heard it, thanks i love it

[Nguli34689]

Correction:

"Now when people say her feet smell, they mean her nose"........

"And kingdom's Christian Sailors dear to you".

Both in these and Transformer lyrics for Andy's Chest.

[shakehamlet]

Thx!

[Nguli34689]

You're welcome. This was NOT a negative criticism.  I wanted to make a small correction for the sake of this interesting number. I like the V.U. and Lou Reed's musicianship.

[shakehamlet]

Yes!! I understand.. I appreciate your love for V.U and Lou Reed.. it's the same of mine!! And it's a pleasure to correct the lirycs.. thx again!

:)

[cannibaljuice]

This sounds good

[pineking100]

Uribe!

[hagusmcfeeble]

thank you very much for this

[johnnyspork]

This is the more upbeat, hullabaloo-style version of this song. if that makes sense to anyone. the framework of this version reminds me of watching some movie where elvis is in hawaii or something. (not the 68 comeback special, but an actual movie)

...yeah.

[tralfamadore908]

you're a true visionary dude! i was trying to think of a way to describe the diff between this version and the slow version, you nailed it. just from your comment on this song i can tell you're creative and have a high IQ :-)

[HikaruTheHost]

Beautiful!
