Lyrics:
Satellite Of Love [Version (a)]:

Satellite's gone up to the skies
Things like that drive me out of my mind
I watch it for a little while
I like to watch things on TV
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of love

Satellite's gone way up to Mars
...filled with parking cars
I watch it for a little while
I like to watch things on TV
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of love

I've been told that you've been bold with Harry, Mark and John
Monday Tuesday Wednesday through Thursday with Harry, Mark and John

Satellite's gone up to the skies
Things like that drive me out of my mind
I watch it for a little while
I love to watch things on TV
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of

Satellite of love
Satellite
Satellite of love
Satellite
Satellite of love
Satellite
Satellite of love
 
The Song:

Lou Reed was an inductee of the 2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Beck performed Reed's "Satellite Of Love" at the induction ceremony. Beck has, of course, covered a ton of Velvet Underground songs over the years; though I do believe this is the first solo Reed song. "Satellite Of Love" does have some origins with the Velvet Underground, but it was first released on Reed's Transformer record.

Beck had his band members Roger and Jason along, as well as his friend Nate Ruess from the band fun. They all performed on this, along with the ceremony's house band.
