Velvet Underground - "I'm Waiting For My Man" - If it Was Made in 1940

[@dennisbenn2065]

you listened to us! yes, all this music you're doing is much more 1940's than '50s

[@mpdferguson]

Brilliant - this works so well.

[@vincentl.9469]

yes and no...there is no drama, no darkness or edginess in this version

[@TheMerseySound1]

⁠​⁠@@vincentl.9469 That’s the whole point of doing it in this genre. It’s not supposed to have those qualities nor is it trying to

[@marcosdavid6103]

Love this. Great work!

[@ClevelandLiveMusic]

one of the best Lou Reed covers ever

[@TheCatwhisper]

what about sweet jane by cowboy junkies ?

[@ClevelandLiveMusic]

@@TheCatwhisper yep...3rd most watched video on my channel

Somewhere in up heaven, Lou is smiling.

[@efficky]

Then you don’t know Lou Reed. He would 100% hate this and the rest of AI garbage.

[@Bellmore1395]

I doubt he’s in heaven

[@haroldkrishna4116]

This shows how truly elastic music can be, in the right hands.

[@jmdavison62]

Take _that_ , all you AI-haters.

[@timprescott4634]

Except no hands were used in the making of this…

[@haroldkrishna4116]

​@@timprescott4634 What I meant was whomever decided to use AI to fuse this music together. Overall, I'm concerned about the impact of AI, but for music, it can be, in the words of Artie Johnson, "Veeeeeeeeeerrrrrrryyyyyyy interesting."

[@davidserlin8097]

I hate how much I like this. It’s very smart, even if it has no soul or edge. Still, I’m very taken with it.

[@bh8365]

Excellent. Thanks.

[@nebrodgers6337]

I could imagine Billie Holiday doing a cover version like this.

[@davidserlin8097]

It’s more early Ella Fitzgerald, but point taken

[@froggacuda1605]

Such a happy up-beat song!

[@andrewgilmore7669]

This is amazing!

[@BTurner31]

Is Sister Ray coming

[@Chromexus]

Mike Flowers Pops did a VU medley in 60s Bob Crewe Style- belongs here as well

[@davidserlin8097]

The Mike Flowers version is astonishingly good. He also did a Bowie medley that is worth tracking down.

[@JS-sh2tq]

Ella sings the velvets

[@danielhoward851]

That works too well!

[@l.a.gothro3999]

It's allll in the arrangement, honey. I wonder what Lou Reed would think? It would be appropriate for Billie Holliday, though.

[@davidlincolnbrooks]

Absolutely works perfectly. These lyrics could've appeared as a raunchy "race record" of the type issued on OKEH records.

[@hhale]

Fun fact: if this were made in 1940, then it would need to be on a 12 inch 78 rpm vinyl record, since a 10 inch would only allow for about 3 minutes per side.

[@davidserlin8097]

That’s not fun. Appreciate it, but not fun.

[@berniebleak]

If it were made in 1940 it would be on shellac, vinyl records weren’t commercially introduced until 1948 and debuted at 33 1/3.

[@ZameerHa1991]

So tight

[@brancothiel1025]

Dee-lightful.

[@holdertheweimaraner]

I share a banana with this white Labrador daily. I call him my Velvet Underground dog. I could not resist making this from your song kzbin.info/www/bejne/jn_XlY2bgMSdmdE

boring AI shit.
