The Velvet Underground - Oh! Sweet Nuthin'

[19KISStheSKY97]

I really think this is the best Velvet Underground song. Apart from After Hours.

[dolceloungo]

more than Classic ...this is EPIC! you can feel the sweet nothing in your soul!

[flygirlrunning]

These guys made a pretty good stab a pop perfection.

[flygirlrunning]

Call me crazy but I think Lou Reed played that second solo.

[journey007]

wasn't this song featured in "Away We Go" ?

[flygirlrunning]

@journey007 I saw Lou Reed here in Columbus, and that guy doesn't get enough credit for his skills playing guitar.

[metallicarules1234]

who played that solo?

[luzziess]

best song.

[jmdi22]

Doesn't make sense how good this song is.

[gileslesmith]

guess this one´s the most important tune of the vu to me. well they´ve been ahead of their time. aah made great songs really!!!

[GrtSatan]

Incomparably beautiful. A great song to OD to.

[giantfriendlycat]

Thank God for the movie ZOMBIELAND, or else I wouldnt'a heard this sweet song!!!

[misskt32]

It doesn't get too much better than this on a lazy Summer day...

[sb2244]

Classic great tune. The black crowes do a terrific version of this on thier cabin fever CD.

[DannyBalana]

i love this ending track

[TheMarkusrose]

on this song, doug yule played lead guitar, electric rhythm guitar, bass guitar, piano, lead and harmony vocals. he really did it all on this song!

[TooLitForAnInterview]

@musiclistner94 Hey me neither! Were you wakin' n' bakin' too?! No shit.

[c4stoners]

zombieland

[auntwayne]

Do not remember the first time that we heard this,but, it definitely is on our top ten list. You Da Man Lou Reed !!!

[vishano1234]

@auntwayne It's Doug Yule

[auntwayne]

@vishano1234 Did you ever catch my ass off guard, thank for pointing that out !!!

[laoluhundeyin]

Thank you Based God!

[jhonnygunner]

Who the fuck could dislike this ??

[Rsetness9]

TAKE THAT BEATLES

[ometec]

@Rsetness9 you're pitting jam against peanut butter - there's no reason to do that

[mosadtracz]

@ometec cause they could be even mixed

[xxxPurplexGirlxxx]

@Rsetness9 What's wrong with liking both?

[dogsdrivingcars]

@Rsetness9 I had to vote up the comment, and The Beatles are my favorite band. (:

[az0r22]

This song will get me back up on my feet .

[QMaster9064]

For a few minutes I could close my eyes and float on the music and dream the lyrics.



[TheSicdic]

i like how dislike bar disappear

[240soundwave]

makes me want a large bowl of opium

[IggyandtheStardust]

Most perfect song ever

[hsngrt]

so good

[sabicox]

Aw, narbar, Nico was a nazi, just a mistake lou's dick made for a while.

[sabicox]

dan, of course it's lou. Who else would it be?

[Bilirubin5]

@sabicox Doug Yule?

[iMovT]

@sabicox it's doug yule. he also sang candy says

[flygirlrunning]

@sabicox I think that John Cale did the first solo.

[vishano1234]

@flygirlrunning no

[flygirlrunning]

@sabicox my bad John Cale had left the VU when this record was made.

[dianalee84]

This reminds me of being 16,homless and squtting with other punks in NYC Lower East Side..brings back alot,some of them I kinda wish weren't so hard forget.

[teriseopotamus]

i love this song much i wanna punch myself in the face

[ZakMcDonald64]

@teriseopotamus

I love this song so much, that I would take much pleasure from punching you in the face.

[teriseopotamus]

@ZakMcDonald64 ahahaha i got nothin on that.

[stuntinlikemydada]

so amazing!!!

[dani9714]

Who sings this song? It isn't Lou, right? Anyhow, it's a great tune.

[AleeGee]

so so good

[poluiso]

zombieland

[JUNGLE10J]

wow. saw this movie searched the song and .........rubber sole discovery moment

will let you know how i go

[guitardds]

This one deserves to be brought back into the mainstream for a bit. Kid Rock, you listening? You'd make a great cover.

[Dontkickshitfoot]

@guitardds really man...really?

[justme81487]

@Dontkickshitfoot that's what I was thinking...

[foreverWHOfan]

@guitardds i dont think he would be the best candidate to pull off an effective cover of this song.

[SPIKEJONES12211]

oh! sweet nuthin'

[jimhweir]

Chef

Great band. Try to find the album produced by Andy Warhol. It features a beautiful lady named Nico. One of my all time favorites

[narnarbar]

@jimhweir love Nico!!!

[jimhweir]

Chef

Great band. Try to find the album produced by Andy Warhol. It features a beautiful lady named Nico. One of my all time favorites

[mcrosswade]

Gibitz, you are adorable. Well, while the west coast was being dominated by the hippies: The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Mamas and the Papas. The Blues Scene was dominated mostly by Janis Joplin, The Rolling Stones, Otis Redding, Dusty Springfield, The Brill Building & Motown Bands topping the pop charts. So where was The Velvet Underground? Essentially, they were the house band for Andy Warhol's Factory. Blech. Warhol was a wealthy socialite who leeched off anyone he could. They rocked!

[TheKeefguitar]

the singer is not lou reed....doug yule is the singer.

[mapsinger]

Este tema es una maravilla. Lo mejor de los Velvet!

[musiclistner94]

This is the first time I heard this song, and I could not stop smiling, laughing and just feeling great.

[theotherbatman]

@musiclistner94 I wish I was you.

[misterthingy]

@MrPeguin666 It might not be Lou on vocals.

[cameljoe212]

@misterthingy Its Doug Yule

[akecleon1]

@MrPeguin666 it's doug yule on lead vocals and it would be the other way around since Weezer started more than 20 years after VU

[HeavyIronMetalMaiden]

Nuthin' can explain it. The incredible sudden burst of incredible world-changing bands and musicians that started in the 50's, and ended in the late 90's. RIP Good music. Its still out there in the 2000's, but its hard to find.

[AnthonyIac]

@HeavyIronMetalMaiden Wow, I absolutely agree with you. That's exactly how I feel.

[cannaswiss]

@HeavyIronMetalMaiden You just feel like that because you getting old. =)

[elgrovez13]

The Velvets put out one of the greatest albums of all time here and then broke up. What a great tune!

[GayBaconStrips99]

Song about the freedom of the junkie. It's a beautiful thing.

[kralle7611]

somebody is gonna get their hair stroked behind her ears.

[GayBaconStrips99]

@kralle7611 Somebody gonna die motherfucker.

[BerryBorat]

O I never thought it could feel so gooood underground

[argegreencrazy15]

why this makes me cry or smile sadly everytime i listen to it?,great song and epic band anyways..

[wpgme85]

This is the type of song that tears you down and then builds you up again.

[enraGeUKK]

@wpgme85 build it up tear it down

[martinmagmaneben]

@wpgme85 my man



[DoodlezKitten]

this is seriously beautiful

[azrial4421]

When music was good, just turn off the radio.

[kobayashi133]

I used to listen to this on a stereo with one broken channel so only the vocals and rhythm came through. It made the build-up at the end more epic without the noodling guitar solo. The drums are tight, the bass rips, and the background harmonies come through almost angelic. Great tune either way but I still prefer it with the balance flipped to one side.

[nolacrp]

This was on soundtrack of "Away We Go"

[rheaprinzmetal]

@nolacrp SADDEST POLE DANCE EVER.

[nolacrp]

@rheaprinzmetal

Wasn't it? But beautiful, too, because her husband loved her so much and understood what she was going through.

[rheaprinzmetal]

@nolacrp yeah and it was impossible to be mad at her for leaving because of what happened to her :( so sad

[nolacrp]

@rheaprinzmetal

We are simpatico ;)

[nolacrp]

@rheaprinzmetal

We are simpatico ;)

[elephantstone222]

This should replace Hey Jude as the song that people always sing along to at parties.

[Archetype77]

@elephantstone222 no it shouldnt, its the same progression, and hey jude came first and is better

[akecleon1]

@Archetype77 well hey jude doesn't have a solo like oh sweet nuthin

[Timm36]

This chord progression reminds me a little of "Can't You See" by The Marshall Tucker Band

[rcurly11]

Ever since I first saw Zombieland I really wanted to know what this song was.After watching Zombieland for the 4th time earlier I had to know what this song was really badly.I absolutely love this song and I just got done with listening to it fully for the first time.I'm going to check out more of this bands music,I love that it's old music!!!! <3 :)

[mrchadrmboy]

@rcurly11 Listen to the Black Crowes cover of this song. It's amazing too.

[ReelsOnWheels88]

@rcurly11 this song is just the tip of the iceberg, i envy how much genuinely amazing music is still new to you. it'll change your life.

[GetBuckism]

sooo fucking good.

[frankbarthol]

This is sick. Kind of has a 'Dear Mr. Fantasy' sound to it.

[platter1000]

this is a great old stoney album. whoever dislikes this album is way beyond me

[lishfish]

this song is so good

[ErrandWolfe91]

phish brought me here.

[LAX46712]

i can't even describe how much i love this song :)

[bankruptstate]

Loaded. Great album, Sweet Nuthin, Sweet Jane, Train Coming Round the Bend and Lonesome Cowboy Bill....forgotten just how good it is :)

[wormbate]

oh sweet nothin'....

[TheDoobad1]

LMAO MARIOGREYMIST.. the revolution won't be televised man..just remember cardio, leave an exit, and..oh! sweet nuthin'..

[jakepinkphloid]

@TheDoobad1 whats that from?

[jakepinkphloid]

@TheDoobad1 do i detect a zombieland reference

[Quetzasp]

This song is perfect.

It has so much heart in it that I can actually feel it!

Everytime I play it, replay it, rereplay it....... Well everytime I hear this song, it amazes me in every single note from the drumbs, guitar, his voice, bass....I wish I was there when they played it!

[dermar831]

GREAT SONG

[mickram23]

I'm not the greatest Velvet Underground fan in the World but this is one of the most fantastic songs ever written!

[Justen1980]

i discovered this song on Napster way back in the day, not in any form of visual medium

[MrDorkydee]

me and my beat friend have listen to this song, and cried on each other. this always brings that memory back to me, and how i love her so much,

[Koolaidohyeah1]

Nothing better than doing a fat shot of dope, leaning your car seat back, and blasting this song.

[deweypug]

Wow, the 'Mountain Goats' (The band 'Refrigerator' actually did it first) have a song called 'Lonesome Surprise' which is a direct rip of this song! Just goes to show you how influential the Velvets were - and continue to be... Someone once said of the Velvets: 'They didn't not sell many records, but most of the people that bought them went out and started bands...

[DazedAndConfused1974]

This band has influenced me in so many ways, from playing the guitar to rolling joints... speaking of which, I think I'm gonna take a hit and enjoy this bitch.

[DirkjeA]

This doesnot sound like Hey Jude at all silly....., this sounds like Oh sweet nuthing by the VU.

[louw123]

balls in a good way fuck strangers

[louw123]

balls in a good way

[TheJennyShow1]

Away We Go? Yeah it's like my favorite movie :D I love munch : )

[flairnatureboywoo]

Lou Reed should have been the 5th Beatle, kinda Sounds like Hey Jude.

[nickzu]

@flairnatureboywoo velvet is A LOT better than the beatles

[DrEpic4181]

@nickzu You can't compare two of the greatest bands in history.

[elvispresley718]

@nickzu that's just crazy people will know who the beatles are in a hundred years probably not the velvets

[vishano1234]

@flairnatureboywoo It's Doug Yule on Vocals

[beansthebear]

free calvin

[will9248]

Couldn't even find this song on youtube without a fight before it was (apparently) in both Zombieland and Away We Go. Don't care about where people are hearing it, just glad it's finally getting its due. One of the best guitar solos of all time, and Lou Reed is a f*cking god. That is all.

[beefgravy49509]

man this song is mood settingly wonderful

[ExtremeEnigma28]

@beefgravy49509 Exactly my point man

[jjthebj]

The thumb-uppers here may be familar with it's use on Zombieland and Away we go but I think it was used best on High Fidelity

[rekas69]

The solo is amazinnnnnnnnnng.

[Mayday614]

@rekas69

yea that solo is the fuckin get down.

[Gitbitz]

how come i never heard of this stuff before.....

this is great....

long live the humongous amount of old music

[deweypug]

@Gitbitz Because FM radio is merely a shadow of what it should be, ignoring the soul and sell the rest...

[Gitbitz]

@deweypug On that i defenitly agree, that's why i almost never listen to FM radio ;)

[bluehorse888]

heard this song on an older john cusack movie a ways back...great tune.

[GODDAMNSASQUATCH]

I got addicted to this song after i saw Zombieland.

[ExperimentalJuicebox]

Found this song after listening to "heroin", the next day i heard it in the royal tenebaums (that spelled right?)...

[SurferDoolittle567]

Yeah, this has been in a lot of film soundtracks, hasn't it? I think I'm in the minority who first heard it on Loaded, the album on which it was originally released.

[MrJas1991]

@SurferDoolittle567

I'm right there with ya. The velvet underground is underrated yet so influential; I don't understand how all of the comments on this video are about a couple of hollywood movies! haha

[Shadowplayed79]

let's find those 5 guys.......

[theponytheory]

Thumbs up if the first time you heard this was in High Fidelity.

[planetraptor420]

5 justin bieber fans missed the like button

[TheTron75]

@planetraptor420 r we now a minority

[PHELCAN]

I like this song alot, but it's a total ripp-off of Jimi Hendrix's song "the wind cries mary".

[agoodud]

@PHELCAN Can't hear it myself. Totally different chords, rythm etc

[cgraber]

@PHELCAN Absolutely man. The chord progressions for the main riffs in both songs are C, Bb, F. Similar tempos as well.

[swans1997]

@PHELCAN I don't know where in HELL you got that, but, I'll leave you to it.

[LordoftheFireflies]

It doesn't get as much respect as some of Velvet Underground's songs, but this is probably my favorite of theirs. Its use in Zombieland and Away We Go were both fantastic.

[GuitarGuy9515]

5 people aint got nuthin at all! XD

[roadkil2]

Let's ALL be nice - OK?

[crazyrandom3]

Somehow... this reminds me of The Beatles' Elanor Rigby. :P

[baboomtsh]

@crazyrandom3

NO!

[SeanTMonty]

@crazyrandom3 me too when i heard this on zombieland i asked my dad if it was the beatles cause he is a huge beatles fan and he said no but he would like to know who it was so now we both know

[dunkinking]

ahhhh.... take me away

[loranceb]

This is the sound i've been looking for.

[gamermanx8]

I listen to this song every night before I go to sleep.

[smashleypants]

Why does everyone have to argue on here man? Quit your bitchin.

[Nukeman33]

lol Youtube comments

[240soundwave]

good



[sfdog1369]

Nery Cool Thx!!!

[mussman717word]

I love harmonizing with this song. It doesn't even destroy the experience if you do it right. It's like an choir of epiphany or something.

[kind2311]

saw the black crowes play this last month at a show of theirs. instantly one of my favorite songs of all time! Sooooooooooo smooth.

[ORDLMG]

I'm not going to put down anyone who came across the Velvet Underground because of a TV show or movie. The Velvets were a very important and influential band: everyone who heard them at the time started a band of their own. This band started and helped define the whole NYC scene, and the NYC scene influenced players everywhere.

[Unterselbst]

@ORDLMG Word. And it's not like the person who came up with the twisted lyrics to "Sister Ray" on "White Light White Heat" was too worried about "class" anyways!

[Unterselbst]

@ORDLMG Word. And it's not like the person who came up with the twisted lyrics to "Sister Ray" on "White Light White Heat" was too worried about "class" anyways!

[macplumber]

zombieland comments on zombieland videos...it's not "S'allgood man"if u found vu through what will never be rememberd as anything more than a cannibl flick with celeb cameos ur a fag*..Lou Reed has no talent but a good ear on arrangment...he has an idea andfor sound and makesit real... which is I guess talent.

*garunteed someone who's all rights no humor will judge me on that 1

[cameljoe212]

@macplumber Yeah, i bet you are a world class musician who has a right to judge Lou Reed. Shut the fuck up.

[Pimpedoutmofo]

one of the greatest songs of all time, of all time!

[weevie454]

was used in the movie away we go!

[megadethforlife84]

Shit, just shut up and listen wow.

[discomadame]

this is my favourite velvet album by far!!!!
