Everyone seems to wants your version of this song to be more 'dirty' and 'gritty'. I love your cover of the song, but I'd be more than willing to wrestle with you in the mud, if you think it would help -- you know, for art sake, of course. ;-)

Hee, hee, hee....

[COVEYWOOD]

I think its the gutter they're hoping for. A good bit of farm mud wouldn't quite do it for them !

I have very mixed feelings about this. Amy has a wonderful voice and a marvelous "presence". But ... ... this song requires MENACE. Amy couldn't manage menace if she had it served to her on a platter surrounded by watercress. Terrific talent, just an unfortunate choice of material.

[COVEYWOOD]

Just depends how you like your sex I guess, Juneberry. Hopefully your platter has enough menace in the watercress to ring your bell. :-)

This is a darned good cover of Lou Reed's classic. The ukelele opening, followed by a gorgeous Amy Schoeter with a sweet voice, and then the backup Pindrop Band sliding in oh so gently on the harmonica makes those "dislikes thumbers" look like fools. I get a kick out of Amy shyly whispering about Candy never losing her head, not even when she was... But everybody should immediately skip to 3:34 so they can bypass the "oops" and enjoy an uninterupted Walk On The Wild Side by The Pindrop Band.

[COVEYWOOD]

You've been around - you get the picture. Thanks

[COVEYWOOD]

Aaah, you get the plot ! Simplicity is a wonderful and refreshing thing sometimes. Thank you

[thewitabike]

@juneberrydesign i disagree, its a cover of a song, the point is to make it her own, if you want a grittier version go and listen to the original! i like it.

having said that the original one is the goods!

[SteveLLW]

@COVEYWOOD Perhaps not, but it would be good for laughs and giggles. ;-) LOL!!

[PETEtheTRAINER]

love this song !!! ..made me want a Ukulele - ..so I got me a KALA electric and sore fingertips and a big grin..!

As a purist Lou Reed fan I made up my mind that I would hate it, but it's a different song. I like it a lot, very good, novel approach. shows Reed's genius to be able make this change. Reminds me of Jose Feliciano doing "Light my Fire". I hated it at first. Doores were better. Then I thought of it as a different song. It was, and is, great

[milascave2]

This song is about male to female transexuals and male prostitutes. There femine charecteristics forced them to live in societys urban margins. This atractively feimine born woman walking through the woods gives the impression of never having seen anything of that sort.

[SWEDENKARAOKE1]

Great cover made with respect and love

[dirkshrubb]

@juneberrydesign this is true. this song is about the under belly , dirty, gross, AMAZING counter culture in the USA in the 60s and 70s. done well but you need to dirty and grimy and you're not..

[TheZakkattackk]

I'm assuming the 12 people who thumbed this down were startled by the, "OOPS" incident because the song is great. I like how they turned such a gritty song into such a smooth and unique tune. Coveywood I've appreciated all of your ukelele demos. I would be excited to see more strumming demonstrations.
