I just think it's kind of corny. And not in a fun way, in a portentous way. The viola droning is almost "exotic"--not good. It's not a bad song just a bit eye roll inducing.

I bet the "black king" lady in that one All Gas No Brakes video loves this song.

The best Velvets song is 'What Goes On'. It's an easy choice because it's also the best song by any artist.

'All Tomorrow's Parties' is the other obvious 'single' from that album, if VU had done anything as vulgur and crass as release singles. The most perfect expression of Nico's stentorian, Teutonic voice. Goth before goth existed.
