Paroles
Holly came from Miami, F-L-A
Hitch-hiked her way across the USA
Plucked her eyebrows along the way
Shaved her legs and then she was a she
She says, "Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"
Said, "Hey honey, take a walk on the wild side"
Candy came from out on the Island
In the backroom, she was everybody's darling
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head
She says, "Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"
Said, "Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"
And the colored girls go
Doo, do-doo, do-doo, do-do-doo etc
Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York City is the place where they said
"Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"
I said, "Hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side"
Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Looking for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should've seen him go, go, go
They said, "Hey sugar, take a walk on the wild side"
I said, "Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"
Alright, huh
Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would've helped that bash
She said, "Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side"
I said, "Hey, honey, take a walk on the wild side"
And the colored girls say
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo etc
Walk on the Wild Side est une chanson de Lou Reed figurant sur son second album solo, Transformer (1972), produit par David Bowie et Mick Ronson.
Bien qu'il évoque de manière ouverte des sujets sensibles, comme la transidentité, la fellation et la drogue, ce morceau aux accents jazzy a échappé à la censure et connu un grand succès à la radio, atteignant le top 20 des charts américains et britanniques1.
Historique
Le titre de cette chanson est inspiré du roman A Walk on the Wild Side (en) (La Rue chaude, 1956), de l'auteur américain Nelson Algren2. Ses paroles décrivent la vie et la sexualité de plusieurs individus, faisant allusion aux grandes figures de la Factory d'Andy Warhol, comme Holly Woodlawn3, Candy Darling, Joe Dallesandro, Jackie Curtis ou encore Joe Campbell.
Sur le plan musical, on note la ligne de basse d'Herbie Flowers à la contrebasse (doublée à l'enregistrement par une guitare basse), la guitare folk de Lou Reed, une batterie épurée (caisse claire, charleston et balais, grosse caisse), quelques instruments à archet, les célèbres chœurs féminins (Thunderthighs (en)) et la partie finale de saxophone de Ronnie Ross.
