Do you mean the Lou Reed song? All the characters mentioned were real people who frequented New York's Andy Warhol Factory in the 70's and appeared in his films. Little Joe is Joe Dallesandero. The Sugar Plum Fairy is Joe Campbell. Holly, Candy and Jackie are drag queens Holly Woodlawn, Candy Darling and Jackie Curtis. In the song, "take a walk on the wild side" is a come-on phrase used by transvestite prostitutes. Reed claims he got it from the title of a book by Nelson Algren.

It means to do something crazy or out of the ordinary...what you would not normally do.
