Well just surfin' for old Lou Reed gems I haven't heard in a long time, and well this one always makes me smile from ear to ear. I know this one was truly a velvets thing (yeah hit those skins Moe). Wasn't all sad was it Lou?

I always figured this was recorded during or near the white light/white heat session--it has that same overdriven bass, leaking voltage distortion all over the tape, and the twangy thin guitar licks that refuse to surrender to the bass and drums.

John Cale of the Velvet Underground produced the first Stooges album. Go figure.

@octagon79 I'm pretty sure the instrumental was recorded first, the vocal arrangement just naturally flowed out later.

This is one of my all-time favorite VU tracks. I remember before I heard the vocal version I used to sing the title to myself, then when I finally heard the vocals they were pretty much the same arrangement as I had guessed them to be!
