Here's a great chance to practise listening to a variety of authentic English accents.
Listen to this classic Lou Reed song and complete the lyrics. I recommend that you listen to it once to get a feel for it and then listen to it again and type in the missing words.
You don't need to listen to the whole song. I have only included the lyrics for the first two minutes.
Do you recognise any of the famous musicians in the clip?
- Just a perfect day, sangria in the park
- And then when it gets dark,
- we go
- Just a perfect day, animals in the zoo
- Then later a , too, and then home
- Oh, it's such a perfect day I'm I spend it with you
- Oh, such a perfect day,You just keep me on (x2)
- Just a perfect day, all left alone
- Weekenders on our own, it's fun
- Just a perfect day, you me forget myself
- I I was someone else, someone good

such a wonderful clip, I've listened it some times,I couldn't hear the words hanging and glad, but the is beautiful and it's pleasant to listen it again and again, thank you very much
Lovely
I love this clip. It's very beautiful and it make me not be bored with the listen lessons. Thank alot!
wonderful song
i enjoyed listening to this lovely song,but it was very difficult to hear some words like "glad" and " hanging".I like it anyway.
wonderfull understandlable song
i liked the song, pronanciation of some words was not clear for me being a foreigner.
Nice lesson.
One word I couldn't recognize - "glad" I typed "latter" instead.
and I mixed "made" with "make". I recognized Sir Elton John. I've also known Tom Jones, but I didn't recognize him. 
Chris, tell us more about this clip, they simply decided to gather together to sing this song, didn't they?
Misprint in the title (help me , please)
Thank you for the Lesson.
It was rather difficult for me to understand the words - there were some mistakes. 
But it was so interesting - different singers, different voices, varied performances. I always like MUSIC (Misprint) Lessons. 
To my shame - I only recognise -Lou Reed( the author), Elton John, David Bowie and Lesley Garret.
Please, help! I have the question, it is connected with music, but may be not with our Lesson:
The band ARE (or IS)touring around Europe.
Thank you in advance.
RE: The band
I can't believe I didn't notice that mistake
Thanks for pointing it out.
To be honest, I think both are used. It's the same with 'team'. I prefer the 'band are', but I've heard 'band is' in American English.
Chris
Double Thanks.
Double thanks.
It's rather difficult to understand - why do we say - My family IS...
There are some words in English which are beyond me.
Thank you for help.

i didnt manage to understand exactly, which is the next:

a lots of thanks for the lesson.
