Sorry, but there's no other interpretation of this song than the original. It stands. The bass player that made it classic, Herbie Flowers, was a session player that got paid like $25.
The amount of temptation, lust and dark fornication isn’t quite conveyed as well as the original. The original was purely about sin and being against God….lacking the darkness….”the walk on the wild side”.
I don't know; I've always seen it as a typical Lou song: talkin about people that, especially at his time, no one was considering or respecting. It's like he was giving voice to people who hadn't one or like he was just trying to poetically describing how life was for those people. I think that Lou was all about telling stories about people like Candy, Sally, Jane, Jimmy Brown, Love etc.. or even his own life at times. but yes, Lou was also kinda obscure and dark in a lot of his songs
Lyrics
Holly came from Miami F L A
Hitchhiked her way across the U S A
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says "Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side,"
Said "Hey honey, take a walk on the wild side."
Candy came from out on the Island
In the backroom she was everybody's darling
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head
She says, hey baby, take a walk on the wild side
Said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
And all the girls go
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
(Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doooo)
Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York City is the place where they said
"Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
I said hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side
Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Looking for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should have seen him go go go
They said "Hey sugar, take a walk on the wild side"
I said "Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side" alright, huh
Jackie, she is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess that she had to crash
Valium would have helped that dash
She said "Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side
I said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side"
And all the girls say
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
(Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doooo)

At least sing the proper words, PC gone wrong it's only a fucking song
Did they really have to make a politically correct version though
