8 years old, 1981, road trip, east Texas, sis in front, Mom driving. First time my ears were blessed by this Tunage. "Mom?" "Yea son?" "What's giving head?" Mom- "OOH A&W, Whose hungry?!"
Yea it's that time you realize it could be much worse than this and even everything is fucked up.. anyway you've just smiled to that whole situation :))
I mean, Bowie did convince Reed to make the album, then produced it himself, and played backing vocals, keyboards and acoustic guitar on this track lol
This song is beautiful, not just for itself, but because it comes from a time of innocence and freedom when there were no "community standards" on any media to censor what we can say, express or like. I bought this album when it came out and now I'm 83 and still loving it!
To have the guts, gall and balls, to sing a song like this nearly 50 years ago. Is truely amazing. All hail Lou Reed, an amazing musican and performer.
A radio interviewer asked if he was sick of this song, and Lou replied that he loved the song as it had been paying his rent for the last thirty years.
i'd have to agree with this 1. I'v had morE days Of haPPies then with haVing bad dAys . get well everbody 🥰🥰🥰 Thanks forn sharing🥰🥰🥰Thanks forn sharing🥰🥰🥰
I love this answer! I remember exactly where I was and who I was with. 30 yrs later I’ve reconnected with the boy that introduced it to me. I used to “sneak” into the restaurant where he was a cook at a tiny old school diner and we had a summer of love. No messy breakups, we didn’t put a label on any of it. He moved and so did I. Now all these years later, we’re madly in love, but still won’t put a label on it!
russs7574 I graduated in '73 also. I liked it alot back then. Everyone in our hick country school knew what it was about. I don't care too much for it now. I saw Lou in concert a couple of years later.
I am 71 and still kicking when this song was in the charts I couldn't hear it enough. I have every intention that when I'm in my coffin this will be played. In my humble opinion this is the best single I have ever heard. RIP Lou.
My brother had just bought 2 tickets for the Lou Reed concert in Luxemburg when the doctors told him that he had endstage cancer. They gave him a few month, maybe just a few weeks. The concert was 8 months later. My brother said that he is not planning on dieing before seeing Lou Reed. He had a spontaneous remission of the cancer.The doctors called it a medical miracle when they discharged him from the hospital. My brother went to the Lou Reed concert as he had said. He even outlived Lou Reed by 2 years.
Good old jazz gets better as years go by. It has gained some sort of classy aura which none of the stuff they produce these days will ever get as no one will remember it anyway.
Hearing this song in 1980 at the age of 19 was the first time I knew that there were other people in the world like me. It still makes me cry even today. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Lou xxxxxx
Have you seen the film that was based on the song there’s a music video Director pretty well known who did a 17 minute film sent it around walking on the wild side. He actually interviewed Lou Reed and found out who the people were that he was talking about in the song, some of them were still alive at the time that he did it….
Andy Warhol decía de Lou que era un musico horrible, pero eran muy compinches, antes de morir Andy, estaban peleados. Lou toco lo mejor de su carrera en el funeral de Andy.
My 70 year old Italian mother-in-law introduced me to this beautiful song. She's been listening to it since she was a kid. And i think I'll keep listening to it till i reach 70!
Clearly. Did you play it from his 1975 Live album? Did they listen to the other cuts? 'Heroin' or, 'Waiting on the Man' or 'Vicious'? If they reject them all, I'm afraid they have but one chance left. "What a perfect day". ...and if they continue to remain unmoved, you never really knew them at all.
The first time I heard this song was on a Pan-Am 747 on a flight between London and Los Angeles in 1972. It has been stuck in my head ever since. You could rent headphones for $5 and there were 10 different channels of music to listen to. After about an hour, the music started all over again. I longed for this song every time. The song is timeless.
It was groundbreaking when FM radio played this 50 years ago but boy what a song. The background singers and sax do it for me more than anything. RIP Lou.
One of Lou's greatest achievements as an artist is getting a song about transgenderism, drugs and giving head on mainstream radio. Talk about subversive.
Not many musicians like Lou. Way ahead of his time and still is. They say he was very much loved by his fellow musicians. Had to have been one heck of good dude. I didn't know him but I sure as heck loved him.
1973 I'm living in Miami a lot memories I was 22 from Lima Peru with 120 dollars in packet but very happy . Listen this song 2021 more happy. Thanks god
@@susanbaker-schloth1152 Iggy Pop is performing in Europe this summer, Aug 17 at Cossany, Switzerland and a few days later in Vigo, Spain :) You asked a good question so I typed it into Google: where is Iggy Pop? So glad to know he's still with us, still performing. God bless 🙏
many artists make what they themselves want to hear or read or see. So, yes, while he was a true artist, he certainly isn't alone in this. It's just people are so used to autotune disgusting pandering bs written by someone else and performed by trained monkeys.
I absolutely love the bass line! I remember hearing this song in a store and at the time I didn't know what the songs name was. I remember hearing the bassline and fell in love with it. It wasn't until a couple months ago until I found this gem.
@@JasonCunliffe That's right. One bass does the C down to F glissando, the other does the high harmony. However during the verse, there is only one bass playing a more jazzed up lick. We could always ask Herbie Flowers for the definitive answer, I guess! ;)
What I love about this song, is how Reed obviously met these people, and developed a huge respect for them and their lives. Not for the people that were front and center stage, but for the people in the dark corners, on the street, living their lives more fully than anyone else. He truly spoke for the outsiders.
How absolutely fantastic, I don't know much about him though I have always liked his music. Some people have such incredible depth within themselves - wish I could read more about this remarkable man. Thanks for the info. x
I love this song, it’s cool, singing about people that do their best to exist in this world despite our differences and finding a way to be who they are!
I was a colored girl in the 50s as a child and black detroiter as a teen in the 60s and I love and will always love this song! Also love any song that mentions One of the handsomest and most beautiful man that ever lived James Dean.
i found out about this song causr a tribe called quest samples this song for can i kick it, it amazing to see the influence of previous generations and the evolution of music.
Tell you what.... they sure as hell knew how to write some funky grooves back in the day. Been listening to this jam throughout my life on various classic rock stations, and my mind is STILL blown away by the way the stand up bass (at least, thats what it sounds like to me), the brushed snare, the slide guitar (cant tell if thats the bass sliding or a 6 string) & the kick drum all just quake when they all come together on the up/down beats. And... the sax. Smoove....like buttah.
This song ruined my life. And I still love it. The first time I heard this I was 7. I was hypnotized, mesmerized, entranced. I walked the wild side anywhere I could find it. I couldn’t wait until I was old enough to experience real wilderness. And I did. All of it. Now I’m 40, peaceful and happy.
I remember hearing it for the first time when I was a senior in high school, and that was in late 1972 or early 1973. The people sitting around on lunchbreak were spellbound, wondering just what the song was and what was going on.
Your not the only one. I'm sure many young boys tried it. Now that you admitted it, your free of it, and access to heaven in the end ....Granted!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😜🤸🤸🤸🤸🇺🇸🇨🇦👍
mick ronson was the producer in the studio, bowie producer in name and made the connection (spent very little time in the studio), but it was mick ronson's genius that made this record sing.
When I was 14, I was sleeping in my room n my dad came bursting in and was excited and said " hey get up, they are playing a song about you on the radio" he was excited so I was excited so he brings me out to the living room and im trying to wake up listing to this song for the first time and figuring out the lyrics and I hear "sugar plum fairy came n hit the streets" I was like awww damn, buuurn, lmao, best dad joke ever! I sure do miss you dad, rip.
Really? You can't be serious. This has post has to be a joke. A Hwhyte guy singing, "All the c0l0r3d girls say do ta do ta do ta do...?" Are you aware of anything at all that's going on nowadays? I can't even spell that one word correctly bc it'll get deleted. Reed would've been canceled asf & his life completely destroyed with just this one song. The only reason TH-cam allows it on their site now is bc sometimes ad money takes precedence over the Totalitarian agenda. That is, unless & until it happens to be specially picked out to cancel. It's already been condemned at least twice in the last few yrs. It's a great song, I completely agree, but what's going on nowadays has nothing to do with greatness. Muppet masters are only abt pushing an agenda. We're living in one of the worst times & it's going to get a whole lot worse.
@@Rulya-HaShem-Morrigan Not that serious, no one really cares. Majority of the comments here are positive that should tell you all you need to know. Instead of crying about how horrible the world is just enjoy the song like a normal person
Richard 3365 You're ignoring all the fact that there was shitty music back then. You know why you haven't heard it? Because people realized it was awful and stopped listening to it.

You know I have a funny feeling some righteous cunt will get this song Band watch because I love this song just saying
Same.
Lou Reed is a cross between David Bowie and Bob Dylan.
This is when drugs were drugs
when drugs were good drugs.
Lou is Lou :)
Mook
Interesting comparison, but there is only one Bob Dylan.
I mean, Bowie did convince Reed to make the album, then produced it himself, and played backing vocals, keyboards and acoustic guitar on this track lol
It's crazy how modern sounding his use of slang is for a song as old as this.
One thing you can said to him is like for nothing!! In the 70/80 it was the best! We respect the way and our way can be diferente !!!😊😊😂❤❤❤
This song is beautiful, not just for itself, but because it comes from a time of innocence and freedom when there were no "community standards" on any media to censor what we can say, express or like. I bought this album when it came out and now I'm 83 and still loving it!

the lyrics are so hardcore it could be written by Eminem in 2000.
Things were tolerated back then in early 70s. About the same peroid Deep Throat played in local movie houses.
@@billinct860 john waters movies too, and a clockwork orange came out in the 70s.
in some ways the scene was better then because the culture was our own, we werent trying to take over the world

Lou lived a lot longer than I thought he would. Brought a lot of joy. RIP Lou.
I love the doubled bass tracks. I guess the studio bassist got paid twice for that.
Sax played by jazz musician Ronnie Ross, who had tutored a 12-year-old David Bowie...
I heard this on am! No censoring!
One of Lou's greatest achievements as an artist is getting a song about transgenderism, drugs and giving head on mainstream radio. Talk about subversive.
It's mind numbing that such an old song can play on the radio and still not only sound fresh but be subversive as ever

This is one of a very limited number of songs that, if it's on the radio while I'm heading to work, I'll clock in late to finish the song.....period.
Hell Fucking Yes Baby! That's What I'm talking about!
Then, you would like the soundtrack to 'The sound of music'
MrKoughee can’t miss the sax solo
Started to sing this one night to a much younger friend from work you tuned it for him and he's loved it ever since
Doing that right now with the gym. Cant miss the sax!
Childhood memories!!! Life so much easier in the 70s
This song ruined my life. And I still love it. The first time I heard this I was 7. I was hypnotized, mesmerized, entranced. I walked the wild side anywhere I could find it. I couldn’t wait until I was old enough to experience real wilderness. And I did. All of it. Now I’m 40, peaceful and happy.
I remember hearing it for the first time when I was a senior in high school, and that was in late 1972 or early 1973. The people sitting around on lunchbreak were spellbound, wondering just what the song was and what was going on.
Your not the only one. I'm sure many young boys tried it. Now that you admitted it, your free of it, and access to heaven in the end ....Granted!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😜🤸🤸🤸🤸🇺🇸🇨🇦👍
I love the fact that David Bowie co-produced this album. Two icons!
and played the sax line
Bowie produced this album and helped write this song. RIP both of them!
mick ronson was the producer in the studio, bowie producer in name and made the connection (spent very little time in the studio), but it was mick ronson's genius that made this record sing.
+sortileges moon not really
Cami Castle wow! :c rip
+sortileges moon yeah your right mick ronson did
That song never gets old !❤❤ I love it so much
I remember this song growing up...😲...and never batted an eye at its lyrical content.
It's amazing what you can hear when you listen!
Me too 😮🙉
Same. As a kid, I didn't pay any attention to the lyrics. It's the music that counts
There are 2 kinds of people on this earth. And if you can't just accept both you need to learn how you can.
When I was 14, I was sleeping in my room n my dad came bursting in and was excited and said " hey get up, they are playing a song about you on the radio" he was excited so I was excited so he brings me out to the living room and im trying to wake up listing to this song for the first time and figuring out the lyrics and I hear "sugar plum fairy came n hit the streets" I was like awww damn, buuurn, lmao, best dad joke ever! I sure do miss you dad, rip.
That's so sweet
Cool 👍
Sounded like you was right it’s freaking out
Its best you just forget about all that stuff it won’t do you no good thinking about it it will just make it worse
I'm trying to be mean put if your old enough for your dad to be dead (RIP) you wouldn't put that on TH-cam
This is perhaps one of the greatest records ever produced. PERFECT!!!
Love this song! Such a Classic!!
Keep in mind that this CLASSIC hails from 1972 . . . timeless . . . WAY ahead of its time!
As was Lou
Yeah, 1972 certainly WAS a very interesting year to be part of something different but................it just didn't solve all those problems did it?
Hard to believe this is now 50 YEARS OLD
Lou Reed 1942-2013 RIP and thank you so much for the music.
❤❤❤Thank you Father God In Heaven❤
Iif this song came out today, it would be #1 and all the rage.
Timeless classic ❤
RIP Lou Reed
Rip David Bowie
Respect from Liverpool England 👍
Really? You can't be serious. This has post has to be a joke.
A Hwhyte guy singing, "All the c0l0r3d girls say do ta do ta do ta do...?"
Are you aware of anything at all that's going on nowadays? I can't even spell that one word correctly bc it'll get deleted.
Reed would've been canceled asf & his life completely destroyed with just this one song.
The only reason TH-cam allows it on their site now is bc sometimes ad money takes precedence over the Totalitarian agenda.
That is, unless & until it happens to be specially picked out to cancel. It's already been condemned at least twice in the last few yrs.
It's a great song, I completely agree, but what's going on nowadays has nothing to do with greatness. Muppet masters are only abt pushing an agenda.
We're living in one of the worst times & it's going to get a whole lot worse.

Not that serious, no one really cares.
Majority of the comments here are positive that should tell you all you need to know.
Instead of crying about how horrible the world is just enjoy the song like a normal person
@@Rulya-HaShem-Morrigan what are you talking about? are you paranoid?
I first heard this in 1972 and it has remand my all time favourite single since then I am now 69 no puns please.
Nice.
Nice.
🤣

A classic never ages, this song has pure gold written all over it. Thank you for your musical brilliance, Mr Reed.
Exactly!.
He is a poet with music
@@infolibertad_1 he definitely was. Genius musician, Mr Reed. One of a kind
😁MAN, 🤭MEMORIES WOW...THIS SONG WAS PLAYED ALL OVER THE RADIO STATIONS...BACK IN A DIFFERENT TIME..🕵🏾♀️👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Just a perfect day,
I finally found it!
Its crazy how many people come back to this everyday... this song is masterpiece!!!!
To escape this false reality we are forced to exist in. I'd come back for more too.
50 years later still relative and awsome fucking love this song
@@petersellers3489 Me too❤️❤️🇨🇭
Basic ahh comment get out
From 1972 and still sounding cool.
bronco devil music doesn't get old (: you love it you love it
Well, if you were in 1972 and heard music from 44 years earlier, you'd say it was OLD!
bronco devil everything from 1972 is cooler than what we have right now, even disco wasn't that bad.
Richard 3365 You're ignoring all the fact that there was shitty music back then. You know why you haven't heard it? Because people realized it was awful and stopped listening to it.
Jimmy Grant Oh great. It's one of you people
They broke the mold. As well it should be. There will never be another.😢 God Bless.
Love xxx
This song never seems to get old.. it is truly a masterpiece..
Agree 100%

Fantastic in June 2022
His lyrics are just so perfectly clear, anyone can follow along.
Hey Justin is your brother David CASE AND Did your dad teach at DWYER
The melody keeps me on keel with the song.
Appropriate for our times. Lou Reed was a futurist artist 🤣
just a few notes will have everyone groovin'. Truly
This song never ages. It hits on every known situation, no matter the time.
i really just feel the rhythm of this song it's so soothing
Leonard Cohen "Suzanne" does it for me.
They both do it for me xx
Classic my favorite by lou
And they played it on the RADIO!
