One of my favourite Lou Reed Songs. Magic and Loss had impressed me but in the early nineties I rarely listened to him, he fell under my radar so to speak. Then when I was in prison I used to lay on my bunk read and listen to music vids all day. One day they aired Hooky Wooky and I looked up at the TV and thought wtf Lou's at it again. Everytime they played it I got up and startet to do a little cell walking routine. It brightened my shitty day!
I loved this song too, it's frivolous and fun and infectious and it makes me smile. And I LOVE his crisp and crunchy guitar-playing - less is often more and a dumb cliche like a fucking "guitar-solo" would've completely ruined it. 🙂
@@Mrpublicimagelimited Thanks for your well wishes. I've behaved since 1999 regarding the law with the exception of a small stint in 2015 when my stupidity caught up with me (again) but that's only fair. I'm doing well these days, can't really complain but to be honest I am still struggling with my "substance abuse" issues. And yeah I love Lou's distinct crunchy guitar tone, he's a self-described musical primitivist, but I found the "Twilight Reeling" album disappointing. Granted he set the bar so high with New York that with the exception of a couple songs like this one I couldn't connect to his concept albums later on despite all the guest musicians who collaborated with him.
One of the rare videos where we see Lou smile! Classic song and one of my favorite Lou Reed tunes and lyrics. I played this song over and over when it came out...and my wife nearly left me over it! Lol.
I'm standing with you on your roof Looking at the chemical sky All purple, blue, and oranges, Some pigeons flying by The traffic on Canal Street so noisy it's a shock And someone's shooting fireworks or a gun on the next block Ah-ah-ah, I wanna hookywooky with you ... I wanna hooky wooky with you Traffic's so noisy it's a shock Sounds like fireworks or a gun on the next block A hookywooky with you Your ex-lover Satchel is here from France Yet another ex They gather about you like a mother superior All of you still friends, ah-ah-ah None of my old flames ever talk to me When things end for me they end They take your pants, your money, your name But the song still remains Ah-ah-ah, I wanna hookywooky with you I wanna hookywooky with you They take your pants, your money, your name But the song still remains the same I wanna hookywooky with you You're so civilized, it hurts I guess I could learn a lot About people, plants, and relationships How not to get hurt a lot And each lover I meet up on your roof I wouldn't want to throw him off Into the chemical sky Down into the streets to die Under the wheels of a car on Canal Street And each lover I meet up on your roof I wouldn't want to throw him off Into the chemical sky Under the wheels of a car to die on Canal Street Ah-ah- I, I wanna hookywooky with you I wanna hookywooky with you I wouldn't want to throw him off into the chemical sky, down into the streets to die Under the wheels of a car on Canal Street Under the wheels of a car on Canal Street Under the wheels of a car on Canal Street Hookywooky Under the wheels of a car on Canal Street Hookywooky Under the wheels of a car on Canal Street Under the wheels of a car on Canal Street Hookyhookyhookywooky Under the wheels of a car on Canal Street Under the wheels of a car on Canal Street Under the wheels of a car on Canal Street...
"You're so civilized, it hurts I guess I could learn a lot" I love that part and how he laughs, I wonder how Laurie had reacted back when she'd heard the final recorded version for the first time.

Hope life's worked out for you in the meantime, bro. Anyone that loves this song is a friend of mine, that's just how it is. 🙂

I'm standing with you on your roof
Looking at the chemical sky

The traffic on Canal Street so noisy it's a shock
And someone's shooting fireworks or a gun on the next block
Ah-ah-ah, I wanna hookywooky with you ...
I wanna hooky wooky with you
Traffic's so noisy it's a shock
Sounds like fireworks or a gun on the next block
A hookywooky with you
Your ex-lover Satchel is here from France
Yet another ex
They gather about you like a mother superior
All of you still friends, ah-ah-ah
None of my old flames ever talk to me
When things end for me they end
They take your pants, your money, your name
But the song still remains
Ah-ah-ah, I wanna hookywooky with you
I wanna hookywooky with you
They take your pants, your money, your name
But the song still remains the same
I wanna hookywooky with you
You're so civilized, it hurts
I guess I could learn a lot
About people, plants, and relationships
How not to get hurt a lot
And each lover I meet up on your roof
I wouldn't want to throw him off
Into the chemical sky
Down into the streets to die
Under the wheels of a car on Canal Street
And each lover I meet up on your roof
I wouldn't want to throw him off
Into the chemical sky
Under the wheels of a car to die on Canal Street
Ah-ah- I, I wanna hookywooky with you
I wanna hookywooky with you
I wouldn't want to throw him off into the chemical sky, down into the streets to die
Under the wheels of a car on Canal Street
Under the wheels of a car on Canal Street

Remember seeing him perform this on Letterman when he first released it. Fantastic.
One of my favourite albums! Why haven't I seen this video before??
What album?

Estoy de pie contigo en tu techo
Mirando el cielo químico
Todo azul violeta y naranjas
Algunas palomas pasan volando
El tráfico en la calle del canal es tan ruidoso
Es un shock
Y alguien dispara fuegos artificiales o un arma
En la próxima cuadra
An-an-and, quiero engancharme contigo
Quiero engancharme contigo
El tráfico es tan ruidoso que es un shock
Suena como fuegos artificiales o una pistola en el siguiente bloque
Ah, hookywooky contigo
Tu bolso de ex-amante está aquí desde francia
Otro ex
Se juntan a tu alrededor como una madre superiora
Todos ustedes siguen siendo amigos, pero ...
Ninguna de mis viejas llamas me habla cuando las cosas
Fin para mí, ellos terminan
Te quitan los pantalones, tu dinero, tu nombre
Pero la cancion aun permanece
An-an-and, quiero engancharme contigo
Ah-ha-ha-ha, quiero engancharme contigo
Luego te quitan los pantalones, tu dinero, tu nombre
Pero la canción aún permanece, diciendo:
Quiero engancharme contigo
Eres tan civilizado que duele
Supongo que podría aprender mucho, ja, ja ...
Sobre personas, plantas y relaciones
Como no lastimarse mucho
Y cada amante que encuentro en tu techo
No querría deshacerse de él, mmmmm.
Hacia el cielo químico, hacia las calles para morir
Bajo las ruedas de un coche en la calle del canal
Y cada amante que encuentro en tu techo
No querría deshacerse de él, mmmmm.
En el cielo químico
Bajo las ruedas de un coche para morir en la calle del canal
Ah-ah-hola, quiero, ah, hookywooky contigo
Ah-huh, huh-huh-huh-ah
Quiero engancharme contigo
No quisiera arrojarlo al cielo químico
A las calles para morir

Sono con te sul tetto
in contemplazione di questo cielo chimico
tutto viola blu e arancione
passano dei piccioni
il traffico su Canal Street è talmente rumoroso
è uno shock
qualcuno fa fuochi d’artificio oppure sta sparando
nell’altro isolato
E voglio fare pazzie con te
voglio fare follie con te
il traffico è così rumoroso è uno shock
sembrano fuochi d’artificio o una pistola
nell’altro isolato
ah, follie con te
Il tuo ex Satchel è appena tornato dalla Francia
ancora un altro ex
ti circondano nemmeno fossi una madre superiora
e tutti ancora amici, invece
a me nessuna delle mie ex rivolge la parola
per me quando le cose finiscono, finiscono
ti possono rubare i pantaloni, i soldi e il nome
ma la canzone resta
E voglio fare pazzie con te
voglio fare follie con te
ti possono rubare i pantaloni, i soldi e il nome
ma la canzone resta e dice:
voglio fare pazzie con te
Sei così educata al punto di far male
penso di poter imparare molto, ha-ha
sulla gente, le piante e i rapporti
su come non soffrire molto
e forse ogni tuo ex che incontro sul tetto
non vorrei gettarlo di sotto
nel cielo chimico, giù per le strade a morire
sotto le ruote di una macchina su Canal Street
e forse ogni tuo ex che incontro sul tetto
non vorrei più gettarlo di sotto
nel cielo chimico
a morire sotto le ruote di una macchina
su Canal Street
Voglio fare pazzie con te
ah-huh, huh-huh-huh-ah
voglio fare cose folli con te
Non vorrei più gettarlo di sotto
nel cielo chimico
giu nelle strade a morire
sotto le ruote di una macchina su Canal Street
sotto le ruote di una macchina su Canal Street
sotto le ruote di una macchina su Canal Street
cose folli

under the wheels of a car, on canal street.
So LR. punk style. I wish he was still with us, not a replaceable person. He wouldn’t want to , but he might.
