Am I the Only Person Who Finds this Disturbing? Right before Christmas, my sister called me and asked me to buy Susan Boyle's Christmas album for her. I agreed while refraining from telling her that purchasing an album of screeching cats would probably be a better investment. So I purchase said album and while I'm perusing the songs thereon, I notice this one: Now I love the original Lou Reed version of this song. In fact, it ranks up there as one of my all time favorite tunes. I will also preface everything I'm about to say by saying that I could not and will never listen to Susan Boyle's version of this song, as I think it may scar me for life.But... WTF???????????? First of all, it is in no way, shape or form a CHRISTMAS song. Second - common interpretations of this song are that it has something to do with sex and drugs (i.e., heroin) - ummm... how's THAT for cheery xmas merriment? And C: WTF???????????? I just don't know what else to say about this, but it seriously hurts my sensibilities knowing that this song exists.
