Lady Godiva's Operation
"Lady Godiva's Operation" is a song by American avant-garde rock band The Velvet Underground, appearing on their second album, White Light/White Heat (1968). The lyrics of the first half of the song (sung by John Cale) describe Lady Godiva. The lyrics of the second half (sung by Cale alternating with Lou Reed) are full of oblique, deadpan black humor and describe a botched surgical procedure. Cale plays electric viola while second guitarist Sterling Morrison plays bass, an instrument that he disliked, despite his competent abilities. The song was covered by The Fatima Mansions as a single.
