😅 Right over his head.....almost thought he had there for a second. 😅
such a catchy mixed up, muddled up, shook up song 😉
Great play on words!! 👍
I'm an old lady now but I was a young teen when I first heard this song. Teenagers were pretty naive at that time and were not exposed to all the sexual ideas that young people are today. And yet, I got this straight away when I first heard it and I remember having a good laugh about it with my friends. I've wondered since if it was anything to do with our traditional pantomimes where the main comic character, the Dame, is always a cross-dresser. But why don't young Americans who react to this understand what is going on, even when they have been told to listen carefully to the lyrics? Is it because they just don't expect to discover that Lola is transgender in a pop song? Or are they just more innocent than we were all those years ago?
This is from 1970 but The Kinks are a 60`s band in their essence.
Yep - the Kinks had an amazing ability to do different types of music... !!
And yet still had hits in the 80's! So a long-lasting good band.
The Beatles ,Stones, The Who, The Kinks plus many others all came out within about a 2 year period.
It's like you're having a drink with your buddies and listening to one of their stories.
Yes, you need to listen to it again, and then you’ll completely understand it
Sorry, but most people have a limited ability to think outside their world.
When this song came out,it went over people's heads and stayed there.
This will be one of my all time favorite songs... 'But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man ... And so is Lola..'
This is the first time I've watched a reaction to the song where the person totally missed what it was about. 🤣🤣🤣
These songs always send me into time traveling to the 70s
Beatles and the Kinks were contemporaries. and both from England.
Thanks, Ace.. supposedly a true story about a naive "roadie"... a great song, anyway... so MANY Kinks songs to explore... different genres.. they actually do my favorite holiday song "Father Christmas"...
He walked like a woman and talked like a man LOLA ......
💪💋
They played a small gig in Springfield Illinois in 1965. The show was promoted by the local Jaycees. After the show the Vice President of the Jaycees invited the band to stay at his house.
After a couple drinks a combination of the odd smell and the" bit of a shine", the Drunken host seemed to have on Dave Davies. The band got the hell out!
The home belonged to John Wayne Gacey!!
Just Google Kinks/ John Wayne Gacey it pops right up!
A few years later Dave would write the song " Death of a Clown "!
They were contemporaries of the Beatles, Stones and The Who.... Ray Davies is a great song writer up there with the best. Waterloo Sunset is a gem.
😂😂😂a certain way😂😂😂 like. Ahem, lola😂😂😂. He almost fell for lola
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
Now you hace to follow it up with Lou Reed's Take a walk on the wild
Side
He has very expressive eyebrows. I wondered: “Will it be a *scrunch* or a *pop*?”🤔
Swinging hit💥
Se walked like a woman and talked like a man.
Don't you get it?
The KINKs was banned from US states from 1965 to 1969 because of this song about "LOLA" the KINKS band was kicked out from US states by the USA Government.. 🇺🇲 THE COUNTRY OF FREEDOM 🇺🇲
to set the record straight, the kinks were on the hook for many drunken hotel room destructions. they were 18 and chaperoneless. the court decided since they were foreigners, the courts decided to send them home with a five year ban for entry. this nearly killed their American sales. they were back in 1970 when Lola vs the power man and the money go round album came out. their two singles Lola and Ape Man were radio banned. Ape Man for idiots confusing the lyric 'fogging up my eyes' for 'f*cking up my eyes'. Lola was banned on the radio because of the Coca-Cola reference. Eventually they edited in Ray Davies saying cherry cola instead.
So the USA was foreshadowing by banning the Kinks from 65 til 69 based on a song that "came out" in 1970?
you have the reason they got kicked out of America correct but the song was banned in some parts of America because of the other lyrics.
The American version has always included the words Coca Cola the lyrics were changed to Cherry Cola for the UK version as the BBC could not play anything that could be considered to advertise it is in their charter being a station owned by the public/government and are not allowed to advertise@@jamesdevine1822
Lola was a man!
This came out in the 70's without much fanfare, just kind of a little grin & smile.
A world wide hit about a transvestite. Check out their song Apeman from the same album.
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls...... Definitely relevant!!!
I get the Beatles vibe. Both groups from UK.
Listen to the words carefully before arriving at any coclusions.
I'm a man, so is Lola.
Wierd al does a parody of this its funny
The Kinks were from Britain 🇬🇧
Love the kinks
Maybe he will catch it on the rebound lol
Although this was later in their career they were part of the British Invasion of the mid 60s
Hey!! Good song choice, good review. You seem like a fun guy! By the way, is this song still relevant today as it was in the 70's? Maybe more? See ya again!
Apparently something like this really happened and they thought it was a fun topic.
released in 1970, this song was a kind of revelation of what was going to happen in the future, like now with the LPGLOWIQ (my dialect alphabeth) movement.. in the US this song was banned, a country with the biggest porn industrie then and now...
I know what I am, I know I'm a man...and so is Lola.
You have to listen to Waterloo Sunset another Classic from Ray Davies.
She is a man, im a hell of a man and so is Lola gives it away,
The name of the band also gives it away!
Did this go over your head? Did you catch that lola was a man?
Ace the Heart, Lola is trans. It’s the story of a naive man’s encounter with a trans woman in a bar.
The kinks were compared to the Beatles , But the musicians and the singers for the kinks were always upset because they were compared to the Beatles, Now, It's interesting because Lola Is a trans , Lola Is a man🤔😯🙄😲😨😳😱So enjoy the rest of the song Hallelujah Sometimes Girls will be boys and boys will be girls We all know it's a mixed up world The song says God bless you In Jesus name
You caught a few clues, but didn't get the full idea.
"She walked up to me and she asked me to dance" In the "old" days, women would not ask a man to dance: men would do the asking.
"I asked her her name in a dark brown voice she said Lola". Not a sweet feminine voice, but a dark brown voice.
"I'm not the world's most physical guy, but when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine oh my Lola".
"I'm not dumb but I can't understand why she walks like a woman but talks like a man oh my Lola."
"She picked me up and sat me on her knee, said to me boy won't you come home with me".
"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's Lola"
Your reaction is kind of forced and phoney since you missed the "twist" in the song.
