1) Great band.
2) Contrary to popular belief (as helped by
Brian from Family
Guy), the term "velvet underground" does not necessarily mean "vagina." In fact, it may come to a shock to most people that it is slang for the subculture of sadomasochism. That's right, the whole
time you've been listening to the band you've actually been subconsciously supporting an underground S&M club.
Lou: Dude, are you into
Velvet Underground?
Reed: Dude, since when have you been a sadomasochist? *Pushes
Lou away, not wanting to get involved with whips and chains*
