* [[Dream Team]]/[[Hey It's That Guy]] - Nico was good at getting help from talented musicians on her albums. For starters, her first single "I'm Not Sayin'"/"The Last Mile" was produced and had guitar by [[Led Zeppelin|Jimmy Page]]. ''Chelsea Girls'' features her old VU mates Lou Reed, John Cale and Sterling Morrison along with [[Jackson Browne]]. ''The Marble Index'' and ''Desertshore'' had instrumentation entirely by Nico and Cale, ''The End'' kept Cale and added [[Roxy Music]] alumni [[Brian Eno]] and Phil Manzanera, ''Drama of Exile'' featured [[Ian Dury and The Blockheads]] saxophonist Davey Payne and [[David Bowie]]'s keyboardist Andy Clark. |

* [[One-Scene Wonder]] - Her work on ''The Velvet Underground & Nico'': vocals on "Femme Fatale", "All Tomorrow's Parties" and "I'll Be Your Mirror". She was supposed to sing "Sunday Morning" as well but Lou Reed decided to take over at the last minute; you can still hear her backing vocals in the last minute of the track if you turn up the volume and pay attention. |

* [[Revival By Commercialization]] - "These Days" after it was in [[The Royal Tenenbaums]]. The K-Mart commercial didn't hurt either. [[Jackson Browne]], the song's writer and guitarist, had to re-learn it before he could start playing it live again when people started requesting to hear it. |
