"Dirty Blvd." is a song by American rock musician Lou Reed from his fifteenth solo studio album, New York (1989). The song contrasts the poor and the rich in New York City, and topped the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart for four weeks in early 1989. Live versions appear on Perfect Night: Live in London (1998) and Animal Serenade (2004). "Dirty Blvd." was one of the four songs Reed performed with David Bowie on the latter's 50th birthday celebration in 1997. "Dirty Blvd." is a three-chord rock song featuring a progression with a repeated sequence of G D A D.
