I was a senior and saw that tour at the kiel Opera House in St Louis and we were front row because of our friend who was blind and Ray Davies came over and said "look everybody the cool section" pointing out my friend who happened to be the only one sitting so he showed Davies his walking stick and Ray pretended to shoot himself in the head and came over and apologized and shook my friends hand my friend was blown away and so were we fucking awesome
Drew, me too. 9th grade study hall. My friend Carl loaned me his older brothers cassette ~ and I COULDN'T STOP listening to it. Made me a 57 y.o. Kinks fanatic. Saw them several times, and talked with Ray after a gig at the Apollo in Chicago. Perfect Gentleman & Genius.

Takes me back to when I was cheerleader in the Ozarks selling heroin out the back of my purple flamed GTO, writing letters to Congress pleading with them to renounce the latest stupid metric adoption attempt, mustering up the courage to appear on the Mike Douglas Show, leaving Queensland for Ft. Lauderdale, kissing Frenchie tongue tied eating a Big Mac, lambasting the Pretorians and anyone of their ilk, saving enough milk bottles to afford that mail order bride from Scotland(she was technically Welsh), committing to the deed but lamenting its consequence, ironing the shirt before taking it out of the drawer, feigning interest while provoking radical non-partisan agreements, drinking the dish water while firing up the furnace, flushing the toilet and expecting everything to change for the better because I just flushed the toilet and finally....

Thank you; good job
An amazing party song. Who wouldn't dance to this.
Then again I've known people who danced to Wipeout
@@mattbartolovich8228 -- Kids danced all the time to that Surf and Drag sound back in the 60's. Your point?
Meant nothing personal
Meant nothing personal
I am also 50 and mentally ill. This music must not be ignored, I don't know why I always almost make since. Ask my roommate, Josh.❤
❤ the title...Give the people what they want...
I like how this song both calls back to "Lola" and the instrumental is essentially a rewrite of "All The Day and All Of The Night".
Great song
Still Kinking it after all these decades!
Kink to the brink good sir
Takes me back to 1981 i was in highschool 9th grade awesome song 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Adoro a Los kinks❤❤❤❤❤❤
A fabulous, early 80's Kinks Radio tune.
What's up, brother?
@@markgriffin5889 -- Doing well, Mark. Played some Kinks last night.
Reminds me of my college days.
Está canción es mi droga

Just because u say you're not paranoid, doesn't mean people aren't out to get you!!
It doesn't have to be that way 🙏❤️👍
Incredible live!
Served in the navy, served my country, chased women, stole shit ,smoked weed, got drunk and we're still speaking english.....damn I love this country 😂😂😅😅😅

De mis tiempos de secundaria, gran rola.
Love sharing this song to friends who haven't heard it.
Love It
I am deeply ashamed. I have heard this song hundreds of times and never twigged on that it was the Kinks.
Back when people called others back to sanity. Off my meds 🤪
Flash from the past💥👍

Hardest keyboard rif

My Gang's Song ❤
Squad goals!
The vocals and guitar here sound so much like an early punk rock song. The vocals especially remind me of Johnny Rotten
Rolón 😎
Damn, I wish time travel was real 😢
There's a little green man in my head...
can't stop my feet
Happy hannuk
Sometimes the truth hurts😂😂😂👍🇬🇧🙊
Paranoia!
Acting in front of the monitor but happily😂
for sure
Met a girl called Lola and I took her back to my place
Feeling guilty, feeling scared, hidden cameras everywhere
Stop! Hold on, stay in control
Girl, I want you here with me
But I'm really not as cool as I'd like to be
'Cause there's a red under my bed
And there's a little yellow man in my head
And there's a true blue inside of me
That keeps stopping me, touching ya, watching ya, loving ya
Paranoia, the destroyer
Paranoia, the destroyer
Well I fell asleep, then I woke feeling kinda queer
Lola looked at me and said, "Ooh, you look so weird"
She said, "Man, there's really something wrong with you
One day you're gonna self-destruct"
You're up, you're down, I can't work you out
You get a good thing going, then you blow yourself out
Silly boy, ya self-destroyer
Silly boy, ya self-destroyer
Silly boy, you got so much to live for
So much to aim for, so much to try for
You blowing it all with paranoia
You're so insecure, you self-destroyer
Paranoia, the destroyer
(Here it goes again)
Paranoia, the destroyer
Doctor, doctor, help me please, I know you'll understand
There's a time device inside of me, I'm a self-destructin' man
There's a red under my bed
And there's a little green man in my head
And he said, "You're not going crazy, you're just a bit sad
'Cause there's a man in ya, gnawing ya, tearing ya into two"
Silly boy, ya self-destroyer
Paranoia, the destroyer
Self-destroyer, wreck your health
Destroy your friends, destroy yourself
The time device of self-destruction
Light the fuse and start eruption
Paranoia, the destroyer
(Here's to paranoia)
Paranoia, the destroyer
(Hey, hey, here it goes)
Paranoia, the destroyer
(And it goes like this)
Paranoia, the destroyer
(And it goes like this)
This came out when the Coke was flowing like a waterfall .....
We used to take my younger sister's pixie sticks empty them out and put Coke in there and take em to parties😂
And good coke too I'm sure
A lot of coke, more than a half 😂😂@@brianwood7237
The 80s had great coke .
🤘🤘
Why was 6 afraid of 7?
'Cause 7, 8 9. Lol 😅
Like I always say: if you're not paranoid, you're crazy.
Why is evil sooo. PARANOID?😂❤
Perspective? Einstein and Sherlock Holmes.
Hello, i love you, tell me your name!

Here, in "Destroyer", Ray Davies is referencing his own musical compositions of "All Day ..." and "Lola".
GSTK!
Definitely took that lol
@@garyrussell6035 Or, you know, their own song All Day and All of the Night from several years before. . .
To be fair I looked it up. Hello I love you came out in '68. So ig the doors kinda stole it huh? Different in little ways but practically the same
@@garyrussell6035 and stolen over and over ever since!
I was born in 1981
Not sure why I still remember all the lyrics. Ohio University Class of '85
Here it goes again 😂
Now we know where punk came from 😁
the original wave of punk was over by the time this song came out.
"Well I fell asleep, then I woke feeling kinda queer...'Lola' looked at me and said, 'Ooh, you look so weird'"
"Well I'm not the world's most masculine man, but I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man and so is 'Lola.'
H●M●
Don't self-destruct! 🙂
Easier said than done. Takes time. Depending
@@michaelbeloseroff76 True enough - it's a constant struggle to be sure.

The Original Mash-up
Hidden cameras everywhere
Welcome to a 2024 nightmare
"And girl I want to be with you, all of the tiiiime."
Anyone else hear that?
Yes. Everyone.
Sounds like a folk song in 2024.
You need to get your ears checked. If not that, your mental health in general.
Then I awoke feeling kinda queer
Gimmie a break that couch sedation is what most of us are seeking . This add is stupid .
Haha… my poor bf
Dudes used to accuse me (tranny) of killing exes upon contact hahaha!
1q😅
This song 'is not' in my Kinks top 100. There are more than 100 Kinks songs far better than this!
Donald Trump's Anthem. 😅
Your a dingbat.
LMMFAO 😂
You are on SSRI's probably. Guy living rent free in your head. 😂 ZERO SELF AWARENESS BUB
Give the people what they want.
