The Murder Mystery is one of my favourite VU songs, so it gets my vote without a second thought, but could someone clarify for me, who is the male voice in the parts with Mo? Is it Sterling? (forgive me if that was totally obvious...)

Exactly, one of my faves off the third album. This was a tough one, but I had to go with "Who Loves The Sun," only because it's the first song I ever heard by the Velvets, "Loaded" being my first taste. Given what I'd read about them, I was expecting something harsh and dark, and was blown away to hear them so accessible and melodic. That hooked me.
"For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks; the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation." - Rainer Maria Rilke
