Dunno about the advert version, but the Velvet Underground original, with Mo Tucker on vocals, is on the "VU" compilation album which should still be available.

I bought the album on CD at Fopp for £5 3 weeks ago, worth the money alone for "Temptation lies inside of your heart". Now there IS a song I can dance my ass off to.

It's also on Loaded (The Fully Loaded Edition) which everyone should own.

The other Mo Tucker song 'after hours' may also be of interest if you like this.

I recommend VU's lost album Squeeze. If you find it, KILL IT. I am stil recovering from the listening experience myself. Hence why I was unable to smother it to death.

I was lucky enough to catch Mo and Doug Yule (!) do a version of it at Terrastock 4. Really quite good!

It's also on the soundtrack of Morvern Callar, the 'womens' movie with a boyfan score. I guess this shows that the gap between film parasites and advertising parasites gets smaller every day. Soho is truly a village.

what the fuck?
is the original velvet underground version on a car ad?
in the uk/ireland or america?
that's one of my favourite songs ever,i started a thread about it a while ago...

Yeah - get the VU comp; it also has She's My Best Friend, Stephanie Says & Foggy Notion...all classics.

i think the version with jonathan richman on the varulven single from 1980 is better!

The version on the ad is way different than the album version. It could be one of the "closet mixes" or something, because it is definitely Mo Tucker singing (It's either her or Georgia La Tengo, and I doubt it's her). I guess I should dig out the VU box set and find out, but, like, I'm scared of my CD pile at the moment, if I touch anything, I could start a Discvalange and I could be buried for DAYS.

I'm interested in Snotty's comments about 'Morvern Callar'. Haven't seen the film yet (maybe it's being marketed as a chickflick, but I doubt that's what anyone involved with making it intended), but a lot of the 'fanboy' stuff is already there in the book - Morvern listening to VU, Can, Eno, Holger Czucay etc. One the hand this seems like authorial wish-fulfilment: "a ballsy, amoral, prolechick with a FUCKEN GRATE RECORD COLLECTION"; on the other hand, I have met one or two people exactly like that. Maybe this deserves another thread.

The movie is pure Jane Campion in style, all unspoken epiphanies in beautifully dessicated surroundings (excuse pathetic glibness on my part, but if Harvey Keitel in the nip jumped out from behind an olive tree you really wouldn't blink). But it's effectively told as a story of female friendship which might be why the soundtrack, though faithful to the book, seems incongruous, e.g. only using the Lee section of 'Some Velvet Morning', rather than Nancy's chorus. (Samantha Morton speaks about twenty lines throughout, while as we know from ILM, true boyfans of Can, BoC, Aphex etc. just can't stop yakking about them). But you're right. This should be a thread. When the film is released, perhaps?

Snotty - I guess this shows that the gap between film parasites and advertising parasites gets smaller every day. Soho is truly a village

For the record - the Soundtrack was finalised over a year ago, the advert was made in MAY this year (just after the Movern Callar promos went in distribution). And I'm finding it tough to understand how you could see Lynne Ramsay or her creative collaborators as a film parasites, c'mon. Although the soundtrack may have 'seemed' incongruous to you, I'd personally recommend everyone see the film and decide for themselves when it's released (october in the UK).

Agreed, it is... 'all unspoken epiphanies in beautifully dessicated surroundings.' And I can excuse pathetic glibness of the 'Harvey Keitel in the nip' (funny and true) but.... 'the movie is pure Jane Campion in style'. Why do you say that, because it's by a non-mainstream female director?
