(Forgive the MarieClare article; I just heard something on't radio and this was t'first link)
FFS. It's a song about HEROIN. Not some nice happy little ditty. I don't blame Lou. I'm still surprised he let the Beeb use it a few years back.
What next, Pussycat Dolls singing a remixed version of [url=
Zappa's 'Why does it hurt when I pee'??[/url]
Cheeze...
Of course it's a happy little ditty. No one cares about the words.
Just like how 'You're gorgeous' makes me smile whenever I hear it played as a love song despite it being about a sleazy photographer 🙂
..or the La's "There She Goes"
...or the UK's most popular wedding toon "Every breath you take"
At our wedding we had Perfect Day as our first dance.
It's already been destroyed by the BBC (ELTON F^&*ING JOHN 👿 ) so what does Boyle matter, eh Lou?
FFS. It's a song about HEROIN. Not some nice happy little ditty.
I didn't realise. That's really funny.
Apparently "Relight My Fire" is also about smoking crack too. 😯
In the same vein, maybe she should try The Stranglers, Golden Brown....
( 😳 )
Like any song though, you can take what YOU want out if it.
I know what Lou's on about, but it doesn't matter. It worked for me as a great song to slow dance to.
(Quick PP, stick an 'L' in there before you look silly 🙂 )
In the same vein
Saw what you did there...good work that man 8)
Life's a bitch. she/he deserves as much care as anyone else. Give she/he a hug.
GnR Mr Brownstone? Maybe not one for SuBo though 🙂
The BBC version was OK really though not sure how much it cost of our money 😉 Not sure what to think about Susan Boyle really - not her fault the way she's been promoted - does she deserve to be more promoted than so many other decent singers?
I'm going to sing it right now...without Lou's permission 😛

It's not clear if it some believe it is but there's also believe it was about his partner at the time but that wouldn't be as cool.
Next people will be saying Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is about LSD.
According to every interview Lou Reed has done Perfect Day isn't about heroin. Just most of his other songs!
reap reap reap what you sow 😉
I liked steps was it singing and dancingf happily to the song Tragedy...like it was happy tune. The remake of the Chilli Peppers song about their band members OD was another classic misunderstood remake zero emotion All saints??
Was a nice cover though
she deserves as much care as anyone else. Give her a hug
Pfft. She's a bit ****ing oversensitive. Drama queen.
The BBC version raised money for CIN, so at least there was something positive come out of the. i'm sure Bill Hicks would have accused Reed of felating The Man though...
Nah, SuBo singing it? destroys the whole mythical status of that song, and future generations won't know about it's original context. Bit like doing a kids version of 'Debbie does Dallas' but without the bits that make the original worth watching. Just wrong.

we'll have Kylie doing a mash-up of a song by a band that used to be fronted by an epleptic manic depressive if we're not careful....[/url]

Love will tear us apart, again...'[/url]
All Saints under the bridge is great 🙂
She's a fat mess and the only solution is to put her into a big rocket and fire her into the sun.
well, i don't know the poor succesful ladies situation.
According to every interview Lou Reed has done Perfect Day isn't about heroin
No, it's actually about a [i]relationship[/i]. But if you consider Reed's relationship with herion, then it sort of makes sense. Every heroin addict I've spoken to says it [i]is[/i] about the relationship with the gear. Think 'Trainspotting'. Reed only says that so he can sell more copes of it....
SuBo singing it is the final straw though. I think Reed finally gagged on Satan's tumescence, and decided he'd had enough.

That's a bit much.

True.
We'll fire her into the moon instead
the La's "There She Goes
John Power drinks in one of the hostelries I frequent (Kev; din't Mr Carter tell him Cast were shite, once?). I owe him a pint actually. Nice bloke.
Wow, i never really got all this metaphor stuff before....does this mean that 'heroin' by the velvet underground is about having a pleasant stroll in the sunshine?
It's like The La's on rotate on radioWork. "there she goes" it's a song about heroin.
The remake of the Chili Peppers song about their band members OD
Well it wasn't really, it was about Keidis's drug taking - Knock me down was about Slovak's death.
rexated - yes indeed but most people are too stupid to realise and sing along to it thinking it's suitable in their local crack den 🙄

She Goes on Letterman![/url]

There's a Market for it though, Rolf made a packet

The bins behind Tesco? 8)
No, Jamie, being a gentleman of class and sophistication, it's actually a nice middle-class pub in Stoke Newington if you must know. 🙄
Bins behind Tescos indeed...
No, that's where I drink with Princess Anne. She loves slumming it. And once week I sniff glue on the emergency stairs by the side of Mecca Bingo with Omar Shariff. Ms Christie tend to prefer meths these days though.

'Come on Julie love, have a sniff of me evo'
'No I'm all methed out...'
anyway, so ****in what if she's a bit upset and bewildered. so what?!
Wow, i never really got all this metaphor stuff before
Turning Japanese by The Vapors is about w*nking
One by One by the Foo Fighters is about m*ff diving
Cheeky Girls is about global consumer culture and the insideous effect it's having on our youth. Unfortunately the Cheeky Girls were somewhat naive about the UK market, assuming that they were much brighter than they actually are and it went above the heads of pretty much everyone. Especially the serious music crowd...
[url=
Wayne is Big Leggy' by Haysi Fantayzee[/url] is apparently about bottom love....
Shamen's Ebeneezer Goode is about a geezer who's rather extraordinary.
A gentleman of leisure, he's there for your pleasure
But go easy on old 'Eezer, he's the love you could lose
Extraordinary fella, like Mister Punchinella
He's the kind of geezer who must never be abused.
Come to think of it, he sounds a lot like ton 🙂
let her sing, so whAT. it's not like everyone else has a choise? our opinion is invalid.

I had to laugh when The DiVinyls were on ToTP, belting out their one and only hit. The look on my father's face was priceless.

[i]"there she goes" it's a song about heroin. [/i]
There was a book that tracked down various members of the band, came out a few years ago...I think the it was the guitarist who said "it's not ****ing about drugs..."
seemed pretty certain on the point.
Who'd have thought [url=
classic tune[/url] was about being blind? 😆
'Reel around the fountain' off the first smiths album is about something unsuitable for explanation on a public forum.
