The fourth song is devoted to their fans. Not sure if that's been done by any other artist.
To our fans far and near, we're so glad you could all be here And when life gets, oh oh, so hard You make it all worthwhile, screaming, shouting, wham-slam-bam That wild head banging style This is dedicated to our fans across the world You're the best, most loyalist and that's for sure When life gets, oh, so frustrating you make it all worthwhile Going to have some fun tonight, isn't it great to be alive
It's going to be okay It's going to be alright It's going to be that You're the only ones who understand

With Andy Warhol backing them, I've never really understood why they didn't have more commercial success. Maybe they were just too far ahead of the times.
EDIT: I came across this on Wikipedia about their first album.
Upon release, The Velvet Underground & Nico was a commercial flop. The album's controversial content led to its almost instantaneous ban from various record stores, many radio stations refused to play it, and magazines refused to carry advertisements for it. Its lack of success can also be attributed to Verve, who failed to promote or distribute the album with anything but modest attention. However, Richie Unterberger of AllMusic also notes that:
... the music was simply too daring to fit onto commercial radio; "underground" rock radio was barely getting started at this point, and in any case may well have overlooked the record at a time when psychedelic music was approaching its peak.

For whatever reason, I could never get into the Ramones, probably my loss. Punk wise, UK Subs was my thing back in the day.
