The only thing I've heard is that it's his take on Lou Reed/VU. Word has it that Warhol loathed the eponymous song.

The album (Songs For Drella) is the pair's first collaboration since 1972, and is dedicated to the memory of Andy Warhol, their mentor, who had died unexpectedly in 1987. Drella was a nickname coined by Warhol Superstar Ondine for Warhol, a contraction of Dracula and Cinderella, used by Warhol's crowd.

Songs for Drella is a homage to Warhol, focusing on his interpersonal relations and experiences
