Not unknown to me... had this album since it first came out. LOVE this track... and, indeed, EVERY track on the "Low Budget" album... Imho, the Kinks' BEST album.
Yet another comment by someone who's too young to understand the English language. The Kinks have NEVER been underrated. On the contrary, they've always been very HIGHLY rated. What you actually mean is "None of my friends or other people of my age group seem to have heard of them, but I have coz I'm really clued up."
I went on the forums, and the consensus is: Ray lifted it (the riff). It IS Jumping Jack Flash. If you were a guitar player, you'd know. People try to say it's inverted, or some other nonsense, but it's not. Speed and key don't matter. It was a goof; a spoof. That's just how clever Ray Davies is.
Didn't realize that til now, thank you. The spoof on JJF seems just the sort of goof Ray Davies would pull. There's tongue-in-cheek humor running through many Kinks songs 😅
In late 70s, America was really struggling. I lived it. Quite honestly, what is happening today is probably a bit worse and VERY similar. This song by Davies, a Brit, couldn't have been more spot on. Truly wonder what he thinks today of what is happening here. The West is in decline. Just like back then.
Was in the orange box hardware store today and this song came overhead. I can't believe It. "This Captain America Calling..." Rocked out to this tune in High School. Now I can't get it out of my head and I love it!!!

SMoke on tHE water?? You're not a musician, are you? Yes, J.J. Flash is the transition riff for the chorus. THe boys were takin the piss oftern enough. I'd like to know, though. Somebody ask Ray or Keef.
I remember it was 2004 Chicago a DJ in Chicago was getting married he hired one of the Davies Brothers The players wedding I think it was something like 10,000 he paid but after the wedding they played at a club I believe it was called The Abbey the only time they played in the US

@@susandinnocenzo5820 Nah. Listen to the main riffs of all three songs more closely. This song is very much like a slower tempo Jumpin' Jack Flash. The first two notes of Satisfaction are OK, then it deviates after that.
It IS Jumpin Jack Flash, and it's a transition riff, not the opener. Don't know how it made it into a Kinks song, but someone ask Ray if he wrote it and gave it to The Stones, or he put it on tape, called Mick up, and said 'Hey, can I use this?'. They all knew each other. I never heard anyone ask Ray about it, but I cued it up today just to make sure it's J.J. Flash. This is a helluva piece of writing, with the song sections and the changes. This is Kinks 15 years in or something. Mature stage. Ray would occasionally insert Beatles and Stones references in songs, so he could just be quoting Mick and Keef, then again, he was more prolific than most, so he wrote songs other people covered that he didn't even record. Maybe it's a Dave Riff. SOMEBODY ASK HIM WHILE HE'S STILL ON THE PLANET!!

Dear The Kinks, As a fan for around 22 years, I was wondering...do you have any words of wisdom? Your fan, Ben Tetschner P.S. In reference to Captain America, I used to have one of those Captain America metal lunch pails...it was really cool!
I'm not an artist so I don't play a guitar or a piano and don't know those things but as far as the lyrics go it's not a rip-off at all it's a fantastic tune independently standing
Depends who wrote the riff. Could've been Ray. And he gave it to the stone. Or.. he used it, called up Mick and said 'Is this okay, mate?' I wish some interviewer would ask him.
This song needs to be played by the new administration to remind the world the adults are back in charge in America and they better get their house in order because we will not be saving them any time soon

Love this track. Unknown by many music listeners...that is so sad:(
Not me. Had it when it came it. And the live album .
I will never forget this incredible music
Not unknown to me... had this album since it first came out. LOVE this track... and, indeed, EVERY track on the "Low Budget" album... Imho, the Kinks' BEST album.
This was one of the Kinks finest albums.
Still it is top notch album
Great song, saw Kinks w “Johnny Cougar” opening. in 79 right after this came out. Great show
Yes. Johnny Cougar and the Zones! Great show!
So did I. In Kansas City for me.
Me too in Milwaukee
Mellenkamp sucks
Such underrated band
Not by me. To invent the power chord, get banned from amerrka, then preservation society to muswell...
They aren't. They've been popular since the 1960's.
Underrated by who? Underrated is an overused term. The Kinks are far from it 🤔
@@SurfTrip00 the very first power chord....

This is pure talent, imagination and a great sond.
Imagination ? This is "Jumpin' Jack Flash'"s guitar riff !
Blues with a twist of Rocking still got it, Give it up for Ray Davies Everyone 🙂👍
This is where air guitar became famous for me. Laughing!!! :) Thank You for posting.

@@Polemic-2525 Call Deez Nutz, putz.
Sadly, oh so very true! Captain America sold out to the 'you-know-whos'! No-one there to catch him or the rest of the world either!
Now we can!!!! Trump the man the legend 😂
looks like RIP America
I saw them in the early 80s with The Romantics as the opening act. Ray performed with a broken leg, still an awesome show.
The lead guitar is sublime.
Dave Davies is a very underrated guitarist.
Kinks fan 75 y.o.
First time I listen this song
song got stuck in my head for some reason. damn it. so great

Yeh , when it came out I already knew JJF. I’d only been playing maybe a year then😂
Didn't realize that til now, thank you. The spoof on JJF seems just the sort of goof Ray Davies would pull. There's tongue-in-cheek humor running through many Kinks songs 😅
Ray Davies was always known for shameless plagiarism. He got away with it because he was so respected.
so relevant now

Love The Kinks and Low Budget is one of their best albums!!! Raw and a bit hard edge!
Definitely the times we live in now....😠😤
IGNORANCE EH? TOO MUCH CORRUPTION?
Certain artists, speak about your concerns and fears....Ray and The Kinks did it oh so well...
Woh this song is more relevant now then it was then, Kinks✌️
jumping jack flash riff for the chorus and smoke on the water for the verse, sounds like they were taking the piss
rs are so gross
SMoke on tHE water?? You're not a musician, are you? Yes, J.J. Flash is the transition riff for the chorus. THe boys were takin the piss oftern enough. I'd like to know, though. Somebody ask Ray or Keef.

If you're familiar with this song, you're cool.
Here we goooooo !
The riff is Jumping Jack Flash
Jumping Jack flash’s riff is I can’t get no satisfaction by that logic
rs sux
@@Kennedy_E13 similar. When I saw the stones live my friend who wasn’t a huge fan started singing satisfaction when jumping Jack came on.
Paying homage
not
The opening riff made me think of Jumpin' Jack Flash.
Can't get no satisfaction i think
@@susandinnocenzo5820 Nah.

Awesome song and very true indeed. America needs to dump all the free loading deadwood.
I'm freeloading deadwood...I wish you'd come visit me so we could discuss this, rockstar. 😂

This is Captain America calling...
Dear The Kinks,
As a fan for around 22 years, I was wondering...do you have any words of wisdom?
Your fan,
Ben Tetschner
P.S. In reference to Captain America, I used to have one of those Captain America metal lunch pails...it was really cool!
I had a playlist on today and thought Jumpin' Jack Flash came on.
Your secretary tells me that she's sorry, but you've gone out of town...
Jumping Jack flash guitar riff
Love the Kinks, but doesn't this rip off Jumpin' Jack Flash by the Stones?
I'm not an artist so I don't play a guitar or a piano and don't know those things but as far as the lyrics go it's not a rip-off at all it's a fantastic tune independently standing
1 rif is not a rip off and I’m sure the stones were cool with it
@@mc_7_25not even close? be quiet you dope
Nope did the Stones sue them over it 😅
Depends who wrote the riff. Could've been Ray. And he gave it to the stone. Or.. he used it, called up Mick and said 'Is this okay, mate?' I wish some interviewer would ask him.
