Velvet Underground, "Sunday Morning"

This song is from the Velvet Underground's first and self-titled album, when Andy Warhol was their manager.

This is "Sunday Morning," the first song on the album. It's a great song, but you get the sense that their lovely morning is probably enhanced by Quaaludes, which they seemed to have shared with the woman introducing this video:
