Produced by Lou Reed, Mick Ronson & David Bowie. Walk on the Wild Side Lyrics. Holly came from Miami, Fla Hitchhiked her way across the . A Plucked her eyebrows on the way Shaved her legs and then he 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

We had some kind of a nut here the other night man There was no place to put the fucking glass So like I put it on the floor Because I didn't want to get the fucking piano dirty Because it costs so fucking much There's a lunatic out there who comes after the show says "I wanna talk. Why don't you take a walk on the wild side?" Would you like to know how that song got written? I know you'd been dying to ask That sound like Hollywood to you Mark?, that's an in-joke Believe it or not, the first time I quit Rock'n'roll Because of too many lawsuits Cause I could not afford my lawyers I still can't but I now I got I got the government as partners Fantastic, I get the.

Lou Reed explained, "I always thought it would be kind of fun to introduce people to characters they maybe hadn't met before, or hadn't wanted to meet. David Bowie and Mick Ronson produced this track. Walk On The Wild Side" lyrics provided for educational purposes and personal use only.

They were playing 'Walk On The Wild Side. The funny thing is that, while I knew the Velvet Underground's music, I'd never met Lou Reed. I called him up and said, 'How do you know this stuff about me?' He said, 'Holly, you have the biggest mouth in town. We met and we've been friends ever since. The album version of this song runs 4:12. This came out at a time when audiences were intrigued by cross-dressing and homosexuality in music.

Friends of the late Lou Reed responded on Saturday with disbelief to a claim by a Canadian student body that the singer’s 1972 hit Walk on the Wild Side contains transphobic lyrics. I don’t know if Lou would be cracking up about this or crying because it’s just too stupid, the singer’s longtime producer, Hal Willner, told the Guardian. Everyone doing their thing, taking a walk on the wild side. I can’t imagine how anyone could conceive of that. The album was called Transformer.
