This song came out in 1970, was played on the radio all the time. If it came out today. The idiots would be protesting it like crazy. I’m 65 I’m glad I grew up in the 60s and 70s, make love, not war.
Oh, we knew!
A dark brown voice..a deep voice.
That look on reactor's faces when they GET it.😂
Right?! 🥰 every single one 😂
I looove the look of sheer surprise when the reactors realize what this song is about. Also love the reaction to Lou Reed’s Walk on the Wild Side lol
this cat picked it up faster than most/all...
😉
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂JB’s reaction was the best!
"She picked me up and sat me on her knee" seems to be the most overlooked clue.
I mean, if that is not a dead giveaway, I don't know what is :)
Lola knows who Lola is 100%
Any time this song comes on the car stereo, volume goes straight to MAX.
You mean to 11
I was a little girl when this came out, but "dark brown voice" means manly. Even as a child i caught that.
I always heard “dark room voice”
I thought it was “back room voice”
You, sir, are delightful! Lol! We sang the chorus to this all through high school without having any idea what it was about. We couldn't t understand a lot of the words.
Yup! It probably took me 20 years to actually think about what it was about! 😊 Always loved it, though.
I love the idea of all you guys singing it and the teacher trying hard not to laugh the entire time.
@@laughingachilles Oh, hon, this was Texas in the 70s. The teachers all listened to Porter Wagoner and Lawrence Welk. They probably didn't know the song at all. 😊
@@wearinganapron
Aww you just ruined a pleasant image I had in my head. Oh well.
@@laughingachilles Lol!
The truly amazing thing to me is that this song came out in 1970, when this was a very taboo subject. Got a lot of air-play back then, too...probably because most folks didn't put the story together. Great song, easy to sing along to! Fun reaction!
The Kinks didn't give a fuck! Original punk band, along with The Who,
Love these reaction videos when they realize what's it's really about and the look on their faces. It's actually a story about what happened to their manager at a bar. It's sort of good humorous ribbing to him.
"Wait a minute, I'm not hearing this right."
Yes, you are!
Back in the day parents minds blew UP because of sweet Lola ❤❤❤
The beautiful double entendres
I am glad I am a man and so is Lola
The band the Kinks had some great songs. They are also notable for being the band that brought guitar amplifier distortion to popular music. At the time, their music was the first time most listeners had ever heard the edgy sound. Their music was among the most influential to other musicians in the 1960's and really changed rock & roll and pop music.
They were ahead of their time, like the Who. Very Punky very visceral. Hard and heavy riffs.
Lola is indeed a dude. 1 of the band members was partying 1 night, started dancing with a cross dresser, he was having fun so said oh well, so what???
Similar to Aerosmith's looks like a lady or whatever it is.... Written about Motley Crew's Vince Neal!
They wrote this poking fun at their road manager (I think) after something similar happened to him.
I laughed so hard when i saw the dime drop for you. I couldn't stop giggling.
1970....The surprise of this song is that it was played on the radio.
Dark brown voice = deep voice, black person
One of my favorite songs ever. It' has humor, romance, surprise. Love your reaction 😅
Weird Al did a parody of this song called Yoda
I love Yoda.
@@lawrencesilver4661 Weird Al is extremely talented
The singer takes Lola up on her offer "won't you come home with me?" "Lola smiled and took me by the hand and said 'dear boy I'm going to make you a man.'"
The look on your face...! The Kinks really lived up to their name with this one :) Ray Davies - who wrote the song - got it past the censors by claiming that the line "I'm glad I'm a man - and so is Lola" meant that Lola was glad too - but we all know what he meant! A very shocking song for 1970, but an absolute classic. Great band with a lot of fantastic songs - try "Waterloo Sunset" or "Celluloid Heroes".
The song was inspired by real events experienced by the band and band manager at a club.
Nice to know that your mind didn't suspect. You haven't been jaded by the world. "To the pure, all things are pure."
When this first came out in 1970, the BBC banned it - not because of the subject matter but because it mentions Coca-Cola - which went againd the BBC's no advertising policy. The words to changed to "Cherry cola" and it then got ample airplay. it still does - in both versions.
He gets it!
OMG...🤣🤣😂😂😂😂. I'm late watching this. You are killing me today. I have laughed til you made my surgery stitches hurt.🤣🤣🤣🤣 Your expression was priceless when the lightbulb moment came. LMOB!!! Then too, remember that Lola was released in 1970!! I really enjoyed your reaction today. Take care!
That was a classic reaction to a great tune! Hilarious! Great job with it JBLETHAL TV!
Love your reaction.... Lola the dude!!!
dark brown voice = earthy
Now you get it! LOL!, I loved your reaction much better this time!
Lol a light bulb went off, great. 😂😂
Props for figuring it out sooner than most people do. 👏🏻👏🏻😂
You got it early, most reactors catch on in the closing stanza. Yeah!
I can remember watching the Kinks sing this song on TV when it was in the charts. My mum heard the lyrics and said ,"This is about a shirtlifter!".
I asked her what a shirtlifter was. She just gave me the Look, so didn't ask again.😊
Listen to a song from the mid 70's called Timothy, this will blow your mind as to some of the music we listen to back then
Take your time James....lol
Now you got to listen to Wierd Al's "Yoda". Lol
Good Reaction and you mised him saying that "she" put me on her knee....lol
I’ve watched hundreds of your videos and this is by far my favorite’n yoyr laugh is priceless
Love your laugh!!!
People have been missing that for decades. You caught on more quickly than many. It came out in 1970, and I bought the 45. I was so glad that my folks didn't understand the lyrics.
James, the album cover explains it all perfectly, Look at the non facial hair side and the facial hair side
I'm 61 I can say it when you said let's finish this my mind thought I bet that's what Lola was thinking 😂❤
Great reaction JB! You had so much fun with it, it's such a great song!! Back in the 60's and 70's bands would write about pretty much anything and get away with it as long as the song was catchy and the lyrics weren't graphic. It was better back then. Now, either people get offended by every single thing...or, an 'artist' will just repeat an offensive word over and over just for shock value.
This is my favorite reaction video of yours!! It’s your 😂 laugh! Love u
Supposedly, this is based on an actual incident that happened to one of the Kinks, I think the lead singer, but...can't remember.
Great reaction
Can't believe you missed it first time round. The Kinks were iconic over here with often 'tongue in cheek' lyrics like Blur later on.
Girls and boys...
I think a dark brown voice was the Kink's way of telling you Lola was a black woman (man).
Love your reaction. Just came across you but you genuine and straight up ( that's not a Lola joke). That's all you can ask of someone is to real and honest. Enjoyed this.
I don't know what it is about you but I keep coming back to your videos and reactions. The song is over 50 years old so the description of Lola's voice is manly but trying to be softer...whatever the word that was used in the 70's.
Hahaha your reaction when you "get it!"
You got it faster than many, and the look on your face was priceless. Thank You! I needed this :)
😂 your killing me! You caught on quick my man.
Ding ding ding yup you got it
Really enjoyed this. Thx.
Glad you got it this time 😂 . Pulling up the lyrics helps if you can’t hear what the singer is clearly saying. I would say Transvestite not Transgender. Way back then there were feminine men who dressed as women but didn’t chop anything off.
@Rocky, back then, you had to go to Europe to get what they called "The Operation." Yep, the word back then was transvestite and not transsexual
Bits get rearranged not ''chopped off'', surgery for trans ppl was happening WELL before this song came out, and there still are ''feminine men'' ( transvestites are different) as well as trans women/ other transgender people
@@malingor7042 TMI. Perversion is Perversion! It’s mental illness plain and simple.
Dude, you’re awesome… great reaction bruv……
Simply a deep command voice
It means exactly what You think it means! 👏🏻
I always figured Lola was a transvestite not transsexual.
I always pictured a tomboy
I believe that is correct.
you are so cute!He said "in a background voice"!Also,the LOOK ON YOUR FACE when you realized.This song was not airing on many stations in the USA!zzMy parents would NOT let me listen to this!The Kinks are out of the UK.They were always a bit more progressive than the states.
(Are you blushing? 😂) A great classic song, telling of a man's (the singer) first encounter to an alternate lifestyle. The story the singer is telling is kinda funny, but could have been psychologicallly damaging to the singer, but he seems somewhat acceptable to Lola.
thx man you made me smile
You got it now!
Lola..Nixon..1970..Wow
I love how he had to replay the part where Lola is said to talk like a man multiple times to make sure he heard that right 😂
I will say you got it quicker than most… 👏
Dawn breaks slowly. 😂
no one notices that normally you would say "a sweet dark voice" but it is sung "a sweet dark BROWN voice" something should be added to that as it certainly means something!
maybe afro dude
I believe this song is based on an experience that one of the bands crew members (roadies) had with a transvestite while he was inebriated.
It was the Kinks manager Robert Wace who had the experience in a Paris nightclub.
Wonderful lyric ... "... glad I'm a man, and so is Lola" So is Lola what? A man, or glad he's a man? lol
Both! 😂
It's both 😂
I've never had that experience, but back in the 90's I was at a hometown bar and only three people were there. The bartender, me and another guy. I struck up a conversation and we started talking about Nirvana, who I loved at the time. Then the convo turned to strip clubs. I went with him to a local strip club and not much was happening, so he suggested we go to Bourbon Street. I was like "Hell Yeah!" We lived nearby and my friends and I went for "Big Titty Tuesday" every week a few years back. Any way, when we get there, I had to pee. I go to the bathroom to do my business and as I slowly turn my head I see two guys kissing!" Dude brought me to a gay bar. All night he was buying me drinks... at no point I was thinking he was trying to get with me, LMAO! After I told him that wasn't happening, he kindly brought mt back to the original bar and I went straight home. Crazy night!
I went round this "girl's" house who I chatted to, in the street, in South London, England about 20 years ago ,and I wondered why she had this fascination with my backside but then,on further investigation, it soon became apparent that she was not what she seemed to me....
I grew up hearing this song but never knew the true meaning. lol omg wtf 😂😂😪😂😪
Dark brown voice. A voice of a man being of color
I love the faces when they get it. “Walk like a woman, but talk like a man”
Love this reaction!
How are you, good to see you my friend. ❤
Hahahhahah... best reaction ever!!!
This was written about a real experience Ray Davies had in a nightclub.
It wasn’t Ray Davies it was the Kink’s manager Robert Wace..
I’m 64and got it a looonngg time ago, before your time.
It was the 70’s,lol !
It took 1 minute for the penny to drop!
In stitches laughing here 😂😂😂great reaction brother
Glad you got there in the end!
No, it's "guttural voice", meaning low and throaty.
Look at the album cover :)
You GOT it ! And when did this come out
"Lola" was released in 1970... 3 years after Christine Jorgensen, America's first transgender woman released her autobiography. Jorgensen had her reassignment surgery completed in the 1950s in Copenhagen, Denmark.
🤣🤣🤣 yep! 🤣🤣🤣
Hi I was 17 when this song came out and as a bi female, and any of us in the LGBTQIA+ community, we really welcomed the representation. I grew up in NYC, and even in other places, believe everything you hear about the 70s! 😊
Come on JB, put your gaydar on. Dark brown voice = manish
Always love the song. and still .. but when I was young pfff {1980] .. I hear a great song ... never .. I hear in the text.. I was a man and so was LOLA😇 .. Just great.. Love the song even more .. One of the band members went to a party and meet LOLA .. that's how the song become a song .. Greetings from Amsterdam
It’s the 70’s
A cross dresser. This is a fun and accepting song, nothing mean whatsoever.
I could only laugh at your reaction. So naive mate.🤣
LOL, yep you missed it first time. 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂
The first cd I ever bought was the kinks…. La la la la lola
I wil enter my 8th decade, next May and I am just getting into CDs. They are great, aren't they? What will they think of next...
This came out when I was in high school. There was NO talking about trans, etc.
Background voice.
Dark rum voice.
Lola
