Compared to todays racist rap garbage this is mild. This one never got much air time and probaly never will. It is a parody of "whiggers", a term that was not even around at the time this one was written. The Whole album "Street Hassle",on which this song made it's debut was a dark,angst filled LP. one of my Lou Reed favorites. The wannabes get the reeming they deserve on this one. And oh, by the way on the Lp "Take No Prisoners" Lou has black female back up singers on this song and they are laughing all through the song.
