“Candy came from out on the Island
In the backroom she was everybody's darlin'
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head
She says, Hey babe
Take a walk on the wild side”

Walk on the Wild Side Full lyrics online http://www.slangcity.com/songs/lou_reed.htm
The title was inspired by Lou Reed being approached in 1970 for a musical based on Nelson Algren's 1956 novel A Walk on the Wild Side.
Lyrics

“Of course. All the best people are.”

When asked if he was Jewish. Quoted in the Jewish Chronicle obituary, 1 November 2013, p. 31

“It always bothers me to see people writing 'RIP' when a person dies. It just feels so insincere and like a cop-out. To me, 'RIP' is the microwave dinner of posthumous honors.”
