"The View" is a single by American singer Lou Reed and American heavy metal band Metallica. It is the only single taken from the studio album Lulu, released on September 27, 2011.
The song was poorly received by fans of Reed and Metallica. The song also spawned a popular meme among fans and critics alike, likening James Hetfield to a table, due to Hetfield yelling "I am the table" towards the end of the song. The meme spawned numerous edits to Hetfield's Wikipedia page where "table" was added to his professions.
A music video directed by Darren Aronofsky and released on December 3, 2011, shows Lou Reed and Metallica performing a short version of the song in a recording studio.
