Watch Arctic Monkeys Cover Lou Reed’s “Walk On The Wild Side” In Liverpool
Today we posted Lou Reed covers from Pearl Jam, Twin Shadow, and My Morning Jacket with Neil Young, Elvis Costello, and Jenny Lewis. You can now add Arctic Monkeys to that list.

In the wake of Reed’s death, “Wild Side” is climbing the charts again — it’s #34 on iTunes’ singles chart at the time of this post.
