"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.[3]

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,[4] shows Lou Reed and Metallica performing a short version of the song in a recording studio.
