[wattever333]

[juliabee666]

I really like your video

And @theluckyfr0g it's about transvestites, especially Candy Darling

[OFFENDERRUEB]

JESUS HATED BALD PUSSY.

OLD CATHOLICS LOVE YOUNG BUTTHOLES.

[bigandyk89]

[TheSexualSilence]

@bigandyk89 white light

[bluesrocker3563]

[8silvika]

hola, este video se lo dedico

a mi gan amigo Octabio

por nuestra amistad

salud y libertad

[jjp009]

The upright bass in this song is absolutely hypnotic! I love this song, despite what it's about.

[dshuggans]

@jjp009 Despite what it's about? lol - The song is a classic because of what it's about.

[aprjaex]

<3

[RockPunkFloyd]

Who's selling out, Reed or Mettalica?

And who the hell could listen to this song and not know what it is about (unless you haven't hit puberty), are we that fucking clueless in the US?

Love singing this song to my 8 year old son whenever it comes on the radio, of course he has no clue what it means. I'm a big old homo and have known what it meant since I first heard it sometime in the mid 70's.

[chriswhiting2]

great song came out at the right time when peoples attitudes where changing

[libermusic67]

Fuck yeah! Lou Reed is one of the best!

[juanitosjams]

Classic

[theluckyfr0g]

Who are the people in the video? The names listed there don't mean anything to me.

[beatles4ever4]

@theluckyfr0g People who worked at Andy Warhol's factory, the song is about them.



[skirtkis]

Truly a lasting classic!!!

[thefriendlygohst101]

one of the best songs ever.... fucking lou reed bro

[miller2235]

Can I kick it?

[Jkru352]

Yes you can!

[apolanco602]

@miller2235 yes you can

[jerzeytpke]

Oh shit! WHY did they make Jackie so damn ugly>?? And yes Id LOVE to take a walk on the wild side with Joe :P

[RyanORLY]

[agyvonne]

[seahorseoysterfish]

Great video.

[Goeslightly]

Candy Darling was such a beautiful woman. That's all I have to say.

[TTFLS]

4:10#again

[shymama8]

at one point he says, "she keeps her head even while shes givin head..." but the radio always bleeped it out, lol

[tinybubblesinhawaii]

@shymama8 must've been a really long, awkward bleep! lol

[shymama8]

@tinybubblesinhawaii lol, i meant they cut it out, lolol

[spaarky13]

@shymama8 yes, at the time in england we didn't know that term so there was no trouble with the bbc playing this timeless tune

[shymama8]

@spaarky13 thats funny! :D

[trikotage]

I love the photos, were can I find them?

[TxInMyBlood]

why are the colored girls goin doo do doo?

[Xz10zb4SNz]

@TxInMyBlood if they went dont dont dont they would not get paid

[marko1978st]

@TxInMyBlood HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA

This comment made my day - great

[cfc67]

@TxInMyBlood because alot of coloured girls were back up singers

[shymama8]

@cfc67 and thats was the PC term for black ppl back then.

[TTFLS]

@TxInMyBlood Fuck U!

[9112ninja]

[nennella88]

She said hey baby take a walk on the wild side!!

[TheDragonSlayer011]

Those 17 dislikes need to just come out of the closet and take a walk on the wild side......who knows u might like it ;-)

[TheDragonSlayer011]

Those 17 dislikes need to just come out of the closet and take a walk on the wild side......who knows u might like it ;-)

[borderlinesuperhero]

listen to the song tranquilize by the killers. it shows not how he is necessarily versatile, but that he can fit in with anything, as well as a successfully strong influence in almost any genre.

[chrisg20x]

maravilloso ctm!

[chelouloulou]

I LOVE THIS SONG

[fiorinodoro]

Dio,che meraviglia!!!Da ascoltare,riascoltare e ascoltare ancora....

[muciollooo]

@fiorinodoro : E pensa che adesso fa schifo con i Metallica ... Povero Lou !!

[metalguitarZomg2]

THIS is who metallica are making a new album with?????? HAHHAHAHAA talk about selling out

[FileAssassin]

@metalguitarZomg2

Yeah i do think Reed is selling out as well.

[UltraRockSounds]

@FileAssassin Who are you to judge a man? Let Lou Reed do what he wants. When Bob Dylan went electric many people thought he was "prostituting" himself; and that was Highway 61 Revisited!!

[thenobs123]

@FileAssassin are you serious? if so, you know nothing about lou reed man.

[BORINGGULL]

wa

[chrisp123ify]

I got in trouble for playing this at my schools talent show...wtf is wrong with this country

[JazzyIlluminati]

@chrisp123ify thats bullshit!!!!!!

[martin1226]

I wonder if this footage helped inspire "Drugstore Cowboy"? The atmosphere, the style, the immediacy, I can see it here.

[martin1226]

Valium woulda helped that crash

[CrushTheKingAndQueen]

Lou Reed, the man that loves all genders - even the ones that don't love their own. Don't know what i'm talking about, listen to the lyrics (or read) them closely.

[ossopunk]

Excellent video for an excellent tune..!



[william3231954]

I heard this song and "All  tomorrows Parties " were written for Edie Sedgewick

[hobzeey]

i have no clue how this genre of music will work with tallica but hey, they know what they are doing

[beceroman]

spacca i cula !!!

[ZenMaster1992]

I know Candy was a man but I couldn't tell unless you told me.

[Sincopare]

A salute to all those seeking a new life...sonic cool...this song gets you there...

[hunterv41]

always loved the sax solo at the end

[yangyin09u]

Great film of the the time. Lou's a story teller. I remember seeing some of those faces at Max's. Did you know that Lou Reed took the name of the song from Jimmy Smith's jazz organ cut of the same name.

[xMordredx199]

then he was a she wtf!!!! lol

[arielrebelfan1]

so is this song about sucking dick?

[BlackLabelForLife]

@arielrebelfan1 yeah but he is a bisexual so probably by a dude

[EXIDEBANDENGLAND]

Great songwriter - Awful singer

[RDBeatnik]

@EXIDEBANDENGLAND I respectfully disagree.

[matizzle32]

@EXIDEBANDENGLAND

That's very harsh. You expect him to sing like everyone else when instead the best ones always come up with their own style of getting the lyrics across. It's the SOUND of the voice that matters. Not if you can show off your high notes like some ridiculous American Idol contestant. Lou Reed has a good sounding voice made for music.

[itsbrennabitch18]

@EXIDEBANDENGLAND Agree! The Strokes cover of this song is wayy better!

[MReynaArte]

lou reeds signature song

[stevies5]

I love the blues bass walking all the way through this song. Magical.

[darkthumb]

Love this!

[49blackboab]

best of the 70s...lou reed ..from his great transformers album...his never to be forgotten walk on the wild side..

[JKTube]

Lou Reed had written this song after hearing of plans for a stage musical based on the original Nelson Agren novel. When the plans for that fell through, Reed kept the song and changed the book's characters to the names of people from Warhol's Factory.

[WolvesWeekend]

Fuck, I clicked on the wrong inch ...

Red instead of green.

[jw582]

bravo laura michigan!!!!!!

[ZeppelinGirl1968]

good song



[malonefree]

this song made me realize that why i was born to made music and give people the freedom they should have by my spirit of music...

[chungalungachunga]

LISTEN!!! LISTEN!!!LISTEN!!!LISTEN!!!LIS­TEN!!!LISTEN!!!LISTEN!!!LISTEN­!!! lazy summer afternoon Lorna Wing :)

[chungalungachunga]

LISTEN!!! LISTEN!!!LISTEN!!! lazy summer afternoon Lorna Wing :)

[cheesefriesification]

ive been listening to this song since i was like 5

[Hubcool367]

@keller4life because you've put "last" in capital letters, clearly putting an emphasize on it. Basically I just wanted to tell you there are way worse artists and you shouldn't judge a musicians ability to adapt based on stuff he made several years ago.

[keller4life]

WHAT!? is THIS the guy who recorded a full length album with metallica earlier this year? daaaamn this is going to be one boring album that's for sure. not saying this lou reed guy sucks but this is the LAST artist who would fit in with metallica...

[Hubcool367]

@keller4life first off, Metallica's now a lost cause so it doesn't matter anyway. Then, Lou Reed is a versatile motherfucker, his shit is fucking classy, he influenced the bands that influenced the bands that influenced the bands that influenced Metallica. But I guess you're right though, he's the last artist who would fit in Metallica, Lil Wayne and Justin Bieber would fit alot more

[keller4life]

@Hubcool367 I don't question the fact that he inspired all those bands, but can't you hear it yourself? the 2 don't fit in with each other based on the music they're making. and why do you take ''the last artist'' so letteraly by refering to JB and LW?

[mussman717word]

@Hubcool367

THANK. YOU.

[rimfa123]

@keller4life Look at some of his other music, "vicious" is a little "rockier"...

[tkphillypa]

candy never once gave it away?everybody had to pay and pay. @ this age I'd imagine the rate is lower.

[soulplumber]

It was a era

[sleepingspider]

I can remember just where I was and who I was with when I first heard this so many years ago, so many go friends no longer with us life seem to be a lot easyer then or is it I am going old.

[Dane333W]

A Tribe called Quest- Can I Kick it



[rubanban]

@Dane333W yup they sampled this song. Yes we can!

[turoniner]

@Dane333W Great sample...

[fabsternyc]

@Dane333W This is Reed at his best, nobody comes close

[AMESaimz4TheHead]

Jackie is in the movie The LImey. great movie - found out accidentally after I bought the movie. Him, Holly and Lou are (I think) the only ones left alive???

I researched him to find out all about him. Fascinating man, who was at the right place at the right time. Too bad the radio only plays two of his songs.

[Deamonskull61]

god ive been lokin this forever thank you soo much <3

[forestgumpaed]

i love the song and the sax makes it even better.  pure class .

[IYAMNI]

1185 to 9... I think that qualifies as unanimous. ha

[NowMyPoundsHaveRunOu]

Lou Reed was as dangerous as an extra on Frasier

[whatsinthebasket]

its almost as awsome as john waters but in 72 ya know

[frank02111]

I just watched that movie-- i shot andy warhol , That phyco bitch was sick with her play scumb -society to cut up men. She nearly killed Andy. However her book became a best sellar and I quess she made lots of money after just being in a new youk mental hospital for 18 months . My god the courts were too easy back then!

[UnknownMisfit1]

@frank02111 and warhol's art is shit

[Sinca22]

@frank02111 -- the courts r still too easy!!! know of 2 murderers put in psych hosp a few yrs -- let out with civil service jobs/bennies provided by the state!!

[ktmggg]

Thanks for making this. I always loved this song.

[fridolin64]

bellissimo!

[GetReal505]

Can't help but think of "Hedwig" when I hear this.

[shakezulathemicrulah]

Yes yuh can!

[tx6161]

Be nice, GIRLS, BOYS,&TOY'S... Might I suggest, "Castles Made of Sand", HENDRIX , It will give us all the love we need!

o

[tx6161]

Thanks are always in line... for black &white... quite simply, one of the best songs of our time!

[annkeiper]

~LOVE MY T-GIRLS FRIENDS

[summerbreez33]

@annkeiper right on i love t girls:)

[procrastinator300]

wait the three transgender, they're just cross dressers right, they didn't actually do a sex change? and also, is he making fun of the people in this song, you know, not that their transgender, just them as people? the way the lyrics are, that's what it sounds like to me, especially Joe

[LouiseKateLove]

Is that the Hamburgular I saw in the background?

[commi3d0ntcar3]

this is a better video than the other one

[TheIsay21]

Love the bass

[LawlFrank]

Make sense much? :p Anyway, pick the one that suits you and don't bother people...

I'll pick the pro-education one :p

[angelpsydelick000]

esta bin fea su rola pff igual como yo

[whatsinthebasket]

and i bet she gave good head two haha

[bill4hill]

Great Job!  Thanks awfully darling.

[AndyHandy2010]

it's not banned, i just heard this song on the radio last week.

[pjgumby]

@AndyHandy2010 It was banned back in my day, people really got upset over this song. You have to know this song is over 35 years old. Things were not as liberal as they are nowadays. I even remember a couple of years ago they played the Rocky Horror Picture Show on some cable stations and they still didn't have the guts to feature the whole movie! I was there at the time this came out, of course it's not banned now, back in my day it was. I wasn't talking about how thing are now .

[pjgumby]

this song was banned after playing it a million times, makes me laugh and I wonder who pulled the strings, why wasn't it banned BEFORE it came out? Or even the records.? I sort of wonder if someone's wife said, "I don't like that, ban it."

and whoever he was sleeping with said OK. ! You have to wonder how these things works, And who are these people are to have the power to ban things anyway? I have always wondered. This song is not banned on UTube so let's enjoy it. I'm listening.

[xentech]

@pjgumby it's banned? lol do you like in north korea or some shit. course it's not banned.

[wepmajoe]

can i kick it?

[MrRandeebee]

@wepmajoe ...yes u can

[outfirstball]

Classic song about andy Warhol and the cross dressing men who hung around him lou reed certain was risqué back then

[pjgumby]

Those sure were good old days, they'll never come again but at least we got some of it saved here on UTube. Banned music is always best. Love it.

[pjgumby]

I remember when this song came out in the mid seventies, it did cause quite a stir and was banned from quite a few radio stations, there's even some nowadays that won't even play it. But too late, by the time they banned it we all had the record, LP or 45. The Teacher's union also banned Pink Floyed's "Another brick in the wall" in Seattle, WA. But too late, we were already corrupted...

[SlayerCrampsMisfits]

@pjgumby LOL...WE DONT NEED NO EDUCATION!

[TheMaRaSoHSniper]

@SlayerCrampsMisfits education before everything... except God and family

[LawlFrank]

@TheMaRaSoHSniper LOL education b4 god is why ure a fucking retard

[LawlFrank]

@TheMaRaSoHSniper God b4 education is the reason why MANY people are idiots

[pjgumby]

@SlayerCrampsMisfits Darn right!

[childreninneed2010]

Classic tune! search 'The Mischiefs - Dont Go To Work'

[MrRunningforme]

all right

[unclwldo]

(dude) ... ;^P

[justhavingmydinner]

they took more casulties way back there and than in Manhattan than in Nam or Iraq or wherever combined, together even

[slamdrump]

Thanks, a really evocative video.

[mrsjustfine]

i wonder what this guy was thinking when he wrote this song

[cheeseppuff]

@mrsjustfine probably bad experience

[mrsjustfine]

@cheeseppuff lol

[cheeseppuff]

@mrsjustfine lol probably not but just saying

[NilSatis1983]

@mrsjustfine Shágging models I reckon

[mrsjustfine]

@NilSatis1983 all righty then

[marti5356]

tutu turturutu :)

[ANOTHERHOLEINYOHEAD]

I would love to fuck holly and candy they are hot.

[MattyMattThing]

Lou reed likes to break all the rules but if someone presents themselves in a way he disagrees with suddenly rules apply!

fucking hypocrites everywhere

[karmadhyana]

Interesting take on this song, ha. I like some of the images a LOT and some of them...meh...and some just disturb me, but not in a good way. But, again, it was nothing if not interesting.

[deadlyram2k6]

@karmadhyana why would disturb be in a good way anyway?

[MattyMattThing]

hilarious.

[supperunknown]

Dude, this song works like Acid or something

Said heeey babe... Take a walk on the wild siiiiide.. awlright

[theredandbluealbums]

@calvideos Very much so

[LawlFrank]

@ gwatson678 maybe for that guy it is ;) Some ppl just dont know how to get down ^ ^

[mrzipper2008]

love the video

[mellydodge]

Excellent video

[MrJas1991]

It's about the artsy, sexually liberated, amphetamine users who hung around Andy Warhole at his loft in NY (called "The Factory")

[DragoSolst]

I've loved this song since I was a little kid. My brother used to sing it when he baby sat me and then one day when we were older, I got wind of what the lyrics were and now everytime he sings it, I laugh my ass off.

[nebulax]

One of the best visualizations of a Lou Reed song that I've ever seen.

[RavishingRedheadd]

wow thats some far out video~

[stevekool19]

You can shove that Mexican beer up your ass.

LOU REED IS THE MOST INTERESTING MAN IN THE WORLD.

[EPB1965]

Nice. Bittersweet. Perfectly suits the song. Thanks for posting.
