 Did You Know? "I'm Waiting for the Man" is a Velvet Underground song about a strung-out junkie waiting for his drug dealer and his next hit of heroin. Vanessa sings the lyrics as "Waiting for My Man," and in her interpretation, it's about a girl waiting impatiently for her boyfriend. This was the first song she and Lenny Kravitz recorded together as a test to see if they would make a good team. Lenny got a lyrics credit for changing "the" to "my." Did You Know? "Silver and Gold" is the first song Lenny ever wrote for Vanessa. His story: he wrote it in front of her, strumming his guitar in the studio and coming up with the lyrics and melody on the spot. Vanessa's story: Lenny was up all night writing a song so that he could impress her the next day. "Yo, baby, check this out." When Lenny was asked to comment on Vanessa's version of events, he replied, "It worked."
P.S. Do you like the song "Be My Baby"? Rent the foreign film Everybody's Famous. |
