2. The Velvet Underground Run Run Run

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run_Run_Run_(The_Velvet_Underground_song)

„Run Run Run“ is a song by The Velvet Underground originally released on the band’s 1967 debut album, The Velvet Underground & Nico.
The song was written on the back of an envelope by Lou Reed while he and the band were on their way to a gig at the Café Bizarre.[2] The song details a number of characters living in New York City, including Teenage Mary, Margarita Passion, Seasick Sarah, and Beardless Harry; all of whom are detailed using or seeking drugs. In addition to mentioning New York scenery such as Union Square and 47th Street, the song makes use of drug terms paired with religious imagery. Two of the four verses directly speak of heroin use, a theme found in the album. In the song, Marguerita Passion tried to sell her soul in order to get „a fix“, while Seasick Sarah „turned blue“, causing her angels to panic. The song is also well known because of Lou Reed’s guitar solo, and its lack of a conventional approach.

Hallo Egbert, aber gerne doch.

Velevt Underground habe ich schon lange nicht mehr gehört, musste aber gerade daran denken, wie ich Freunden mal European Son vorgespielt habe, was dann doch für etwas Verstörung gesorgt hat.

3. The Velvet Underground – I’m Waiting For The Man

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27m_Waiting_for_the_Man

„I’m Waiting for the Man“ is a song by the American rock band The Velvet Underground, written by Lou Reed. It was first released on their 1967 debut album, The Velvet Underground & Nico.
The song is about purchasing 26 dollars worth of heroin in a Harlem brownstone near the intersection of Lexington Avenue and 125th Street in New York City. The song is sung from the point of view of the purchaser who is presumably traveling to Harlem from another part of the city; the „man“ in the song’s title is a drug dealer. Along with traditional guitar, bass, and drums, the song also features pounding, percussive rock-and-roll barrelhouse-style piano. It is one of the band’s more popular songs, and one of their many compositions featuring drugs as subject matter. After leaving the band in 1970, Lou Reed continued to incorporate the song into his solo live performances. Reed does not often sing the song himself anymore. Released as a single in October 1971 (b/w „There She Goes Again“) as Andy Warhol’s Velvet Underground on MGM Records.
In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked it #159 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
