"People Who Died"
Well, funny you should say that but Cale's soundtrack version of this from about 11 years ago did feature a Lou-less version of the VU on it..along with others. It's a cool version!
Got to find that somewhere, jimjim!

While we're talking about other groups singing Velvets-like songs, how many Dream Syndicate songs, especially from their first album Days of Wine And Roses are "Velvety"? I know from their bio's they were BIG Velvets devotees. "When You Smile" was derived from a line in "Sweet Jane". Would love hear a Velvets version of "Halloween" But, alas.....

I can think of a better one by the Modern Lovers - "She Cracked".
