"Vicious" is a song written by Lou Reed, released as a single in 1973 and originally featured on "Transformer", Reed's second post-Velvet Underground solo album.

Lou Reed told Rolling Stone that Andy Warhol inspired the song: "He said, 'Why don't you write a song called 'Vicious'? And I said, 'What kind of vicious?' 'Oh, you know, vicious like I hit you with a flower.' And I wrote it down literally."

"Vicious" was featured on season 4, episode 5 of the Showtime TV series "Billions".

This song was originally planned to be in "Grand Theft Auto IV" or "Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned" on the fictitious radio station Liberty Rock Radio, but was deleted during the beta phase.
