LOU REED first band was named THE BEATS just for misleading people to think they were THE BEATLES theirselves. it was just before THE BEATLES had their first record issued into USA.
When I found this video the likes and hates were split exactly 50-50 (106 thumbs-up, 106 thumbs-down). Funny.
If you get Lou, you're going to love this. You don't get Lou, you're going to hate this. I thought it was pretty damn brilliant, witty, ironic, smart, sarcastic, smart-assed .... which makes sense. It's Lou.
This is really, really good. Audio is great. Lou Reed impersonation is spot on. Use of Lou's trademark phrases are used to perfection. Remarkable. One of YouTube's greatest uploads EVER. My hat is off to you!
I love the references of many velvet and lou reed's songs "black angel's death song", "walk on the wild side" etc... Very, very funny, and not so bad of a singer by the way, very tom waits-leonard cohen-lou reed like.
dude this is far out absolutely fabulous awesome!! im going to down load this and will put it on cd you put this together very well very cool dude check out on youtube my orginal songs you silly doggie & naked women on the moon & dysfunctional family those 3 songs were all wrighted by me and david dubowski is singing them chheck them out
HAHA!! I was sceptical at first, but then when I heard "it's been a fucked-up New York winter", I couldn't stop laughing. What would've been even better -- if that last shot of the Beatles had been photoshopped so that when it pans down, we see not Ringo, but...Lou down the bottom! THAT would've been hilarious!
Hmm...Lou Reed, the real one, was writing about heroin, when the Beatles were doing "Love Me Do", but they are both great, at any rate. I thought this was going to be a mash-up of two songs, but it is interesting, nonetheless.
OMG people lighten the f up! Lou Reed was ahead of his time and wrote about the dark underworld that existed. A realist. Combining with the sugary sweet moptops at that time - before they evolved is funny as hell.
help. caution. it runs with needles on this one. que terrible!?! who are you? honestly, are you of the mind that your person, your brain (if any) melds w/ what are both individual classics??!! shame. shame. seek help. read a book to pass the time and gain on vocabulary....or perhaps, at very least, vocal lessons.
Awesome comparison! Just makes you think even more about how out-of-step with their time the Velvets were. While hippies were embracing peace and free love, Lou's most upbeat song of the era, "Who Loves the Sun," is still bitter, sarcastic and pessimistic.
I can't believe i'm saying this, but this ain't actually so bad... at leat the guy knows some goos music! And a lot of lou reed material, wich never hurts
you fooled me when i clicked on the video but right when i heard you 'sing', i knew it wasn't lou. Nice try, but you don't sound much like him. But thumbs up for the effort!
What would be nice is a smash-up of Waiting for My Man and Here Comes the Sun, which is what I thought this would be. Was joeypropeller even born when any of these songs were recorded?
Pretty good. Some effort was put into it. Lou Reed would probably get a laugh out of it, though I don't think it would make him feel like Jesus's son.
That aint Lou Reed.
