Hey Lou - Liz Phair

Hey Lou - Liz Phair
2:42
Soberish, 2021
Written by Liz Phair and Brad Wood

Who's Lou?

A not entirely light-hearted jab at Lou Reed.  "What's inside that heavy head? / Are you on the junk again? / Your eyes look dead / But your mouth keeps moving on and on."  She accuses him of "acting like an asshole" and "talking shit about Warhol again."  Phair's vocals are great here and the peppy melody, with handclaps and echo, keep it from being too heavy-handed.
