best rhytm and lead guitars in the world and they are all played by lou reed himself, he dont need nobody else, nobody can do it better, and the voice is so magical. words are funny like on many lou reed albums, hes got lot of humour, he is the best of all
Yup I rented Hot Rock Videos Vol. 1 when I was a kid, if you look quickly at the end it's Icicle Works' "Whisper To a Scream (Birds Fly)" video was next.
ultramancrazy, hee hee, I was thinking the same thing!!!! I love this song, though! The phone could be cut out of the video, it made me want to throw my computer out of the window!!!!
Thanks for posting this. It's one of the few videos Lou Reed has ever done that has a storyline & a certainn amount of time devoted to filming and production, and the song is great too. It's from the New Sensation album, 1984, which was pretty good. Well done!

This is a marvelously kicky song with that good guitar interlude that sounds somewhat faintly rock-a-billyish in parts. Hard to argue with that guitar. Who's playing that?
Right you are Kelly356 and I am the dancer that doubled for him. I can't believe this video is on here. BTW, Lou Reed was a total jerk to me on the set but once the video came out the director told me that since everyone thought it was Lou dancing, it gave him confidence to bust-a-move on stage during his performances. I also doubled for him in another video called "My Red Joystick"
I hate to disappoint but its wasn't Lou danceing at the end but a professional dancer - look carefuly and you can even see it wasn't croaky old Reedy getting down. Best thing about this song is the guitar riff - it was a case of a great riff first and then finding a song to fit.
Fernando Saunders on bass,but was that a cameo by John Cale on drums near the end?Also a young looking Robert Quine on guitar?Have a look guys and tell us what you think.Almost certainly not,but wouldn't it have been great?lol
whatever?! your comment is really pointless, cos I'm not interested in girl(hello!), and yes-she is just right age to be my mother, but she just arouses a man inside me, hehe , so I wanted to know her name to look if she appeared anywhere else.... yummy & quirky girl :-d
Actually, if you look at 1:15 (the first time we see them on the bike), you can see Suzanne holding a silver helmet in her left hand. I guess she just likes the wind in her hair...
LOL!-I hear you.Maybe she does like the wind-I do too.Another possibility is that Lou feels his life is more important than Suzanne's.He has to suuport the family you know-lol.He had to create another great album at the end of the 80's.New York.
Anyone notice that the girl resembles Edie Sedgewick, who was at the center of the Warhol crowd when Lou and the Velvet Underground were just starting out?
This looks like it's about Edie Sedgewick

So it's all a dream, right? Lou fantasizes about seducing the straight girl (or is it the straight record-buying public?).

This song's original no-frills bw studio clip taken slant-on from a fixed raised camera position by the stageside was so much better.

I always worried about Suzanne not having her helmet on on that GPZ. Used to play this day in and day out on VHS back in the day.
Pretty sure that Lou himself does the guitar solo on the track.
