* RealLifeWritesThePlot: "Andy's Chest" was written off the heels of Creator/AndyWarhol's near-fatal assassination attempt by Valerie Solanas in 1968, being Reed's way of trying to cheer Warhol up after his brush with death.
* RearrangeTheSong: "Andy's Chest" originated from Music/TheVelvetUnderground's planned follow-up to [[Music/TheVelvetUndergroundAlbum their eponymous third album]] that got thrown out after MGM Records dropped the band; their actual follow-up ended up being ''Music/{{Loaded}}'' (which also included re-recorded material from that scrapped album). Reed ultimately re-recorded the song for ''Transformer'', while the Velvet Underground version wound up on Verve's 1985 outtakes compilation ''VU''.
