Context:
by acting as a sort of pop promo, the transgressive nature of the song, and of The Velvet Underground themselves, in return added significantly to the strangeness and somewhat forbidden nature of the visual imagery. In this extravagant apology for the humble car tyre, we are, to all effects, transported to a land akin to Prospero’s island, peopled by faerie spirits and dominated by a figure that could certainly give Caliban a run for his money. It is this otherness, along with the overwhelming of the senses and the allusion to catastrophe, that gives the commercial its primary impact.
