"All Tomorrow's Parties" is a song by the Velvet Underground and Nico, written by Lou Reed and released as the band's debut single in 1966.

"[2] In a 2006 interview, Reed's VU bandmate John Cale stated: "The song was about a girl called Darryl, a beautiful petite blonde with three kids, two of whom were taken away from her.

It features a piano motif played by Cale (initially written as an exercise) based largely on tone clusters.

The song also features the ostrich guitar tuning by Reed, by which all of the guitar strings were tuned to D.[6][4] Drummer Maureen Tucker plays tambourine and bass drum while guitarist Sterling Morrison plays bass, an instrument that he professed to hate, despite his proficiency as a bassist.

This version, released on the Peel Slowly and See box set, is composed of multiple takes, which add up to a time of 18:26.

This version later became available in 1995 on the Peel Slowly and See boxset and appeared on the "Deluxe Edition" of The Velvet Underground & Nico released in 2002.

However, several months after the band split, a version of the song, remixed in 1981 by Steve Nye, was released as a single in February 1983.
