Just cue up Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side" for this one:

Oh, I don't know:

"Holly came from Miami, F L A
Hitchhiked her way across the USA.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was she - she said:

Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side,
Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side." L. Reed et. al.

If the song fits, wear it.

Textwise and the pictures motive yes but I just don't hear the song when looking at the pictures. The images feel more like blues or some cool Jazz tones.

OK, so if the signature song from Lou Reed's "Transformer" doesn't do it for you, then just listen to some early Velvet Underground--equally correct, gestalt-wise.
