interviewer (I): "Chelsea Girl" was a big departure, in that it was a fairly... there was a lot of instrumentation, was a lot of flute sounds...
nico (N): oh the flute! oh my god, i was so unhappy when i heard that result of that *sounding disgusted* flute taking over.

The funny thing is that Nico hated the flutes. She wanted to make some heavy and loud rock album. I mean, it's great as it is but still

The flute is perhaps the greatest thing in this song.
