Match Eight of the Second Round is between

Run Run Run (off The Velvet Underground and Nico)

and

Lady Godiva's Operation (off White Light/White Heat)

Lady Godiva's Operation is more sophisticated. For a song about death, it's subtley sexy in its sound. John Cale's vocal is a definate boost as is the experimentation with additional sounds (and Lou's voice) to help carry the story. So it got my vote.

Run Run Run is a great song though, a little more direct than Lady Godiva's Operation, but a catchy enough and I love the guitar solos.

They're both classics, but Lady Godiva's Operation is an *experience*. And it's even less like any other song ever made than most of their material.
