The lyric “trying hard to pull sister Flo”, is a direct reference to The Velvet Underground’s track “Sister Ray” and sonically, many music critics have compared the song’s main riff to The Velvet Underground’s “Sweet Jane“.\n--\n Lou Reed performed this with Bowie at his 50th birthday party in New York in January 1997.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-NX1DJUAI8", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
