I've seen a lot of Perfect Days and Sunday Mornings, but my fave VU album is White Light/White Heat so here's my tribute. It's not really a song...it's a spoken word short story in one ear with a jam session in the other. It's one of the few songs ever to make me laugh. Surely the first truly alternative band, and they're one of the best RIP Lou

This is the track that got me into VU, thanks to the Annie Nightingale Sunday Night Radio Show back in the 80s

Getting more and more into The Velvets. Particularly this one, a short story by Lou Reed set to music and narrated by a deadpan John Cale.
