Just listening to the Velvet Underground and Nico LP and noticed that the intro of "There She Goes Again" remained me something. After a little search, I finally found that the song had the same intro as Hitch Hike, by the Rolling Stones after a song written by Clarence Paul, Marvin Gaye, William "Mickey" Stevenson (as say on my Windows Media software).
Have anybody noticed it yet, and can anybody who record the song first, or give a Youtube link to this song?
Is there any possibilities that Lou Reed (who wrote There She Goes Again) took the intro from Hitch Hike or is this a classic rock intro ?
Any more info ??
Sorry for my english ; I'm a french little boy (but I like it)
Lou acknowledged that he nicked the intro to Hitch Hike on There She Goes Again when the latter song was a regular part of his set list in 1984.
At the time Lou was writing The Velvet Underground and Nico, he had a day job as a songwriter at Pickwick Records, a low budget label that tried to cash in on whatever trend du jour was going on at the time. He'd write these crapola songs like Do the Ostrich by day and then go home and work on Heroin at night. So borrowing from someone else's hit in his own song came readily to him.
