You beat me to it. Was trans and gay people that Andy hung around with. They all have great stories but sad passed on far too young. Joe was a dealer who was very good looking who men and woman paid for sex, Andy adored him. To the Leave it to beaver people they never got the song.

I was 12 years old when this came out. When I discovered it? I went and asked for a bass guitar for Christmas because of it. It just hit me right in my soul.

When I think of the term “colored girls,” I think of girls of color. I don’t believe this was considered a derogatory term at the time by people of color. It’s just specifying people with more melanin. However, I don’t suppose they need to specify this, but think they did so as recognition to the ladies singing since it’s a song and you can’t see them. Anyway, it certainly wasn’t meant to be derogatory, nor considered such at the time.💕🌷

Well, everyone here was a very real person, 3 trans and two gay dude one of them selling heroin(the hustler). They were Andy Warhol's "superstars" part of the Factory. The Factory was Warhol's studio with some wild parties where a lot of real superstars could have been found. Like, Rolling Stones, Blondie, Bon Dylan. And with some afterparties that could easy rival Diddy's ones :D. This style of singing speak is somehow his signature. On the same album is "Perfect day" that's equally good with this one and where you can listen Lou Reed actually singing (for couple of seconds though). You could also listen Pale blue eyes that's another of his great songs and where you could listen to him also singing. Another less known fact is that this album's (Transformers) producer is David Bowie.

It's been f'n obvious to me since that day haha. Also, back in the 80's the Portland Zoo used this song in their big ad campaign. Stay weird y'all!

The song is about the Andy Worhal genre (Andy Worhal co-produced Lou Reed's band, the Velvet Underground), his films and entourage during the middle 1960s in NY; included the likes of David Bowie and Mick Jagger. It was a time when homosexuality, transgenderism and androgyny were en Vogue. The characters in the song, in order of appearance are; "Holly" Woodlawn a Warhol films trans actress "Candy Darling" another Warhol films trans actress "Little Joe" Dallessandro, a Warhol films gay actor "Sugar Plum Fairy", a character in Warhol's first film, My Husler (1965), played by Joe Campbell "Jackie" Curtis" a Warhol films trans actress and writer.

[@lizetteolsen3218]

Lou Reed was always an authentic composer/performer. His music reflected the life he led--he was so NYC. I still remember when I heard this on the radio--I was shocked bc I knew his music. But the content really flew below the radar for most people who did not understand the world he inhabited. As others have stated, everyone mentioned in the tune were real people he knew. He also had a long-term relationship with H, so some of his tunes are chilling. Even during addiction, his vision was unflinching.

For me I was 12 in 1972, not yet a teenager but not a kid and I had passion the radio, music to be more accurate, when I heard this song and not being to worldly the lyrics did not get my attention really till I was more worldly age 13 I was listening to this 45 with my cousin that summer and we broke this song down lyrically and she being from the big city of Portland and me the country boy from a town of 800 well I learned a couple things and just said wow weird, but the music is pretty cool. It was really the subtle introduction of this lifestyle into into the listening publics ear, and the result was welcomed and I watched alot of people from that point when I heard the song in public I would look to see who might be listening 🎶 and make mental notes older usually just bopping to the soft beat subtle voice and soft instruments and nice female harmonies in the background 😀 and they weren't listening to a word most of the time, they always heard "colored girls sing" and the chorus but I guarantee they didn't hear or possibly understand the lyrics. It was a different world and Lou wanted to push the limits as it were and find out what he could get away with and did it successfully proving that if the music is right the lyrics can take a back seat. I've done it over the years not care for some lyrics but the rhythm is right you know what I mean they move you, it's a sensory thing. Even if you can't dance part of your body has to move. Of course for all teen 13:57 us teen boys the "hey babe take a walk on the wild side was thoroughly understood by I also guarantee less than 10% of the guys in the school of 100 students understood the babe was a transgender, just a babe and sex was all they cared about then and the song talked about it, it became the passing cliche to use, "Hey babe take a walk on the wild side" was the trendy pickup line for a while. Just a bit of mental flashback there, you should check out Alice's Restaurant is a classic very cool dated and the lyrics but go long version only save the afternoon.

glad you heard Lou Reed! try Sweet Jane next. or when he was older (yes he died recently) he sang these songs more clearly, slowly, with acoustics. He spoke his songs back then but did sing them later on. yes, colored girls was simply a regular reference, not derogatory. Diana Ross and the xxx were a colored girls group. Not many 'white girls' groups or backups then. Seriously because if the Motown sound - soul. To see some live 'colored girl' backup checkout Humble Pie - Black Coffee. fantastic. Steve Marriott was what Robert Plant of LZ wanted to be. Plant got the vocals down but Steve Marriott's stage presence was way better. He was the original Oliver Twist in the early 60's stage musical Oliver Twist in London. There are so many branches and roots of music you can follow. At least listen to Sweet Jane by Lou Reed first before moving on to other things.

I recall listening to this song on the car radio, with my Dad, when it came out. We both liked it.

“Perfect day” is my favorite song by Lou Reed.

[@akronrats]

Not folk....more punk / glam rock.

[@leesakowski9145]

Urban blues with a good dose of jazz.

This was back in the day when you could observe or hear different ways without being expected to sign up for the total program. Life was much richer then and less stressful.

Black Pegasus next song should be called "Booty or Heroin?"

Let me start by saying what a great and honest reaction. there are a few songs I love watching First timers react to, This be one of the top, when the lines hit and we get to watch your faces.. Its so entertaining, add to that when you voice your reaction with clear honesty it brings so much to the video. keep up the effort as music is here to enhance all our lives. i consider my self quite lucky to have been 13 in 81 and got to listen to all the 60s and 70s music on the radio but i also got to live though all the 80s tunes, its truley untouchable as a decade of outstanding artists and music.

Now ya'll need to listen to Rod Stewarts' - "Georgie Boy" part one and two

[@artromano2419]

Just a great reaction!! Couldn't stop laughing..... that was one of my faves way back when!

[@ta2gypsy]

Velvet Underground was THE spot. React to Heroine please

[@annastayja]

🎵 so I'm back, to the velvet underground 🎶 😉 I like your name, gypsy

The player of the iconic double bass on this track was played by a multi instrumentalist session musician called Herbie Flowers he contributed to over 500 hit songs . Sadly he passed away a few weeks ago. I was a teenager when this track was a hit in 1972, it makes me smile when people suddenly realise what the subject matter 😆 Its a song of about people Lou Reed personally knew in New York during his spell with the Velvet Underground

[@JonNelson523]

Check out the song Perfect Day by Lou Reed

[@jchow5966]

This is one of my all time favorite songs!!!! Yay!!!

[@daiorama3196]

Worth saying there's no judgement at all in using the vernacular of the time "the coloured girls" in the chorus just as there's no judgement about any of the characters in the verses. It's straightforward reporting of what the writer is seeing. The 5 characters did the things mentioned. Most back up vocals were done by "coloured girls" at the time.

[@Laura_Martin42]

It was on the radio all the time, I was 10 when it came out and heard it all the time. Great song.

[@christopherchamness9439]

A Tribe Called Quest - Can I kick it

[@ScottMcMe]

Lou Reed was a poet. Y’all should checkout more of his work.

[@joycewalbert1413]

NAACP stands for WHAT?

[@monkeebun]

New listener guys. I loved that comment, "Every one's got their own version of Wild." Carry one with the good work.

[@utoobia]

Shame that rappers can’t write their own melodies.

[@jamesmatheson5115]

Loved listening to Lou Reed, Transformer and Rock and Roll Animal, vocalist from Velvet Underground, left the band and went to England where David Bowie introduced him to his English audience, I was 18 when Transformer was released. You guys make me laugh, the song is about the people who were hanging around at the time, bearing in mind Velvet Underground and lots of different people were hanging out with Andy Warhol.
