- New Age (Velvet Underground song)
"New Age" is the fifth song from the 1970 The Velvet Underground album "Loaded". It is one of the songs that feature Doug Yule on vocals, encouraged by main singer and songwriter Lou Reed.
The song also appears on "", with Reed on vocals, singing an earlier, significantly different draft of the lyrics.
"New Age", in its final draft, is considered a sarcastic homage to actress Kim Novak.Fact|date=February 2007
When the album was released, this song caused controversy. Reed, who had left the band a month before, stated that his original versions of "Sweet Jane", "Rock and Roll" and "New Age" were corrupted. Doug Yule, on the other hand, insists that Reed's mixes were respected. [http://www.furious.com/Perfect/yule.html]
The 1997 "Fully Loaded" issue of the "Loaded" album includes an alternate version of "New Age", subtitled "full-length version". It is nearly 40 seconds longer than the "long version".
Tori Amos's 2001 cover album "Strange Little Girls" features a cover of the song, singing Reed's earlier lyrics.
