Hi Everyone,
We're posting this video on #LolaDay, the 50th Birthday of one of our favourite songs by one of our favourite British rock bands.
There is something so unorthodox, unapologetic and poetically blunt about The Kinks' music. The predecessor to punk. Untamed yet melodic, introspective, witty and observational in the most creative, captivating way. Nothing gives you a more vivid picture of parts of British culture than diving into a Kinks album. We love these guys.
We hope we did this song proud and that you enjoy our take on this classic. Us and Papa Rudi (on bass and keys) had an absolute blast working on it. Please leave a comment and share your thoughts with us.
A huge Thank You to Karen and Ray Davies for getting in touch and inviting us to take part in the #LolaDay celebrations ♥
Stay Groovy,
Mona & Lisa
I'm a big fan of these girls. And I'm an old man that hates everything lol.
Same here Paul !
Great rendition of one of the greatest rock songs ever. The Kinks and Ray Davies I’m sure approve! Well done!
I am 68, an old roadie from the 60s and 70s and all I can say is “damn kids these days just Gotta make an old man shake his head… in wonder”
Keep it up ladies you’re truly some thing special. 💕🇨🇦💕
Another old roadie agrees 100%
I think good ol' dad has a lot to with it, too. 😉
Wonderfully talented girls. Re-living my youth again (I'm 72) and loving every minute of it. Many thanks.
I love these ladies for many reasons, but one HUGE reason is that they are bringing new life into some of these great songs. I help out in a music store on occasions and I have noticed some many teens coming in now, asking me to show them how to play so many of these types of songs, especially songs by the Beatles, that these ladies have breathed new life into. I am thankful for that. They are very straight forward and talented.
I have to agree they are fresh voices in the music industry and they are fantastic ❤
Gorgeous , classy and Superb ..., Monalisa Twins forever.....
“Lola” EXPLODES at 0:34, and I play it loud over and over. Whooof! Love the way Papa Rudi’s bass picks you up and carries you like an undercurrent off into the song. Of the contagious things in the world, I'm so grateful I've contracted the Twins and “Lola” and not that other thing. Every time I see this, which is often, I just want to jump up and make fabulous music myself. Every time! And every time, mine's not that fabulous, but I can't help myself.Thank you!
Way to go Mona and Lisa!
Your cover of The Kinks' "Lola" is magnificent!!
Lisa, I love your little Fender 🎸, and Mona's fun and funny expressions are priceless ☺️
Kudos to your Papa Rudi as well 😃
Thanks for the smiles and happiness 😁
Sometimes the RUclips rabbit hole takes you to somewhere wonderful. Today I discovered the MonaLisa Twins. Amazing.
When you're soon to turn 73, a tune like this, so well presented by two lovely ladies, brings back memories from the past. That's a great thing we all need. Brings back the memory of when I fell in love for the fist time - and it was great and touching to think of the first wobbly steps you took. So big bow for my favorite twins and thank you.
I just recently found this song (I'm 21 next month), and I love how it embraces pansexuality and the steps that are taken when somebody falls in love with someone they didn't expect to be so different than what they're used to. From the beginning curiosity, to the confusion, to the love. It's all there. I'm a pansexual woman myself, and this song really hits home for me. These girls did a great job covering the song.
I love their cover of "Lola". Whenever I see Mona flip that tambourine and smile it always brings a big smile to my face. I think Rudy was especially cool in this video. I would love to see Michaela perform again.
Good, clean copy - no gimmicks or auto-tune rubbish .. Old-School, the way it should be .. Well played girls.
They always honor the real song.
'and good support and accompaniment from pops too!
Very talented ladies
@@liner011f7 I'd like something more different than the original but...
This is the most brilliant rendition of this song I've ever heard. Your voices mesh perfectly and your enthusiasm puts your version over the top
Yay to that enthusiasm! One can feel it!
Check out their covers of Beatles tunes. Especially the ones played live in the Cavern Club where the Beatles started.
Check out the cover by Lake Street Dive.
@@CountBlackula6 Yes, that cover is absolutely brilliant. But I have never been disappointed with anything these two girls do; they are absolutely fantastic!
@@CountBlackula6 Can I say I love them both!?
I've always loved The Kinks and I've always loved this song and I especially LOVE THE MONALISA TWINS!!!!
Me too
such a good song
Can't get enough of them, their music is so tight, oh and thanks Ladies and the band for bringing back the music of my time, all you guys, your father all the band are making that music...what it was, is, and will be. Peace Love Y'all...coming from Canada.
Absolutely wonderful cover of Lola. It's like a new song again.
Guys, listen to their originals if you haven't, and buy them. Support these ladies, they're making so much good happen
The originals are special. I can't stop listening to them. They are good but are 'getting better all the time'.....
Neither has accepted my marriage proposal..., and i own a guitar or 2....... BTW that's a lovely tune
@@rodneycaupp5962 You're funny.
already ordred
Orange has some fabulous original tunes! I am stuck on the Duo Sessions. The clean, not overly produced cuts, are perfection!
These gorgeous two ladies must have put a spell on me. I have been listening to their music religiously the past several days. Just kidding, I thoroughly enjoy your recordings. Best Wishes from the USA 🇺🇸.
Wow, so good. This is almost as good as the original and an old guy like me was around way back in the day when it first came out. Just wow. Like so many other retro-loving people are saying, these gals are bringing us so much joy with their covers of the old songs. More!!!!
Very colorful cover, I enjoyed it a lot!
WOW will be buying all your albums!!!!!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely awesome I’m 75 and had to listen over and over again 👌😍😍😍🇦🇺❤️❤️❤️
Same here, and i am 69 . There,s nothing like the classics !
BEAUTIFUL SINGING TWO BEAUTIFUL WOMEN xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Wow! You sang the "original" version using "Coca-Cola" instead of Cherry Cola". Awsome!
Jesus your easily excited 😂
@@ralfmalf5828 Bollocks to you! This matters - a tiny push back against commercial censorship.
@@daibhiofiacra4162 Ah , I see! Makes sense. But they've changed the location as well. 'I met her in a club down in Notting Hill.'
Cherry Cola was only for the BBC's no advertising rules. Both versions exist in the Kinks' recordings.
@@ralfmalf5828 And you seem like a stick in the mud.
What a good job of a great old Kinks tune. I bet a lot of coots like me sat up and listened to this one. All the garage bands of the 60's loved the Kinks. My mom and dad got more than they wanted of Kinks' songs. Thanks for sharing this well done version with us. You ladies are quite special. I love listening to you.
Damn that was sooooooooo good!!
Great energy! Good to see dad take some limelight also. Love the work station!
Wow! Best cover of "Lola" ever! Unrivaled harmonies from Mona and Lisa, not to mention their awesome instrumental prowess and versatility! And their dad ain't half bad either! Whether classic covers or fresh originals, this family always impresses!
Every song these immensely talented ladies have put out impresses me. Mona and Lisa are the real deal.
Smashing! Love the way it builds momentum. And Mona's rough voice is absolutely perfect. Great fun!
Fantastic! One of my favorites from my teen years. Nice one~
Absolutely Amazing. Perfect celebration for Lola's 50th birthday. 💖💛
What to say....when you, two girls sing , I feel a peaceful mild breeze covering my inner soul....just wonderful....
A great tribute to a great band. Thank you for keeping outstanding music alive and current.
Best cover ever by Mona and Lisa! I love all their covers and their original music as well. These girls rock!
Mir gefällt, wie toll Ihr die Songs aus meiner frühen Jugend interpretiert. Eure Stimmen passen perfekt zueinander und Eure Leidenschaft für die Musik ist erfrischen. Das erweckt schöne Erinnerung, vielen Dank 🙏🤗
What a performance fantastic song enjoyed it immensely
I have to say that 'You Really Got Me' with this cover!! Bloody Well Done Lassies! (I cant get over how good your Dad looks; why does he not age but I do?) Lola is 50? Yikes! Thanks for shining your always very cool light on Ray and Dave once more!
Rudy their dad is too busy two age yes to take care of the technical side of his daughters career and he does a great job of it they always sound the best
@@jimwillis8747 I know! It blows me away how good they always sound, even live!
Once AGAIN - your performances bring a smile to my face 😁😁😁😊😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
I swear, there hasn't been even ONE song (original AND covers) that isn't top notch and superbly done. Thank you for ANOTHER well done offering, Mona, Lisa, and Rudi!
The tambourine take and the cymbals stand are so funny 😂 But in general it’s simply such a great job you are doing, you fab4 👍👏❤️
Wonderful performance ladies. Nice to see Mona taking some of the lead vocal again. Would love to see you do "Sunny Afternoon" someday. Thanks so much for making this video for us. Good to see Rudi on bass and keyboard. Hope you all stay safe and keep on being so sweet and adorable.
AND WATERLOO SUNSET!
You lovely ladies ROCK.. Can't wait to get my cd's. Love your music..
Kind of odd to hear females singing "Im not the worlds most physical guy" but then remembered what I once heard in a song "girls will be boys, and boys will be girls" ;-)
I am really in a conflict with what the term guy means to a women, Are they guys too now? Did we mean they are equal to men? Yes! idiot, No offense Jim, just us and true females
@@davidmacphee3549 Well whatever, go with the drift!
It might be a major conspiracy. Move on you'll be alright. Sheesh !
True music right there....outstanding!
One of the great rock tunes of all time. You ladies (and your papa) honored the tune with a GREAT cover!
YOU TWO HAVE BEATEN TIME!!!
BEEN PLAYING TOGETHER A LIFETIME....
AND ARE STILL YOUNG!!!!
EACH UNIQUELY TALENTED!!! THANK YOU BOTH!!!
FOR THE MUSIC & VIDEOS.
LIVE LONG & PROSPER.
My favorite MonaLisa Twins youtube! The strong vocals giving each twin their solo time coupled with the simple instrumentals make for a powerful combination. Thanks so much!!
They are very talented, . have the hard word and their Apprenticeships..come on fame..they deserve it, really
These 2 girls are absolutely totally gorgeous and so good at the music game. Hard not to LOVE!
Electric uke FTW!
Man, this group has matured into something amazing! I’ve enjoyed the ride and am looking forward to see (and hear) what’s next.
Funny you should say that. I just watched Mona singing "Twist and Shout" as a thirteen year old. She was good then, now she's great. They both are. I really really hope I can see them live someday. I'll put it on my bucket list.
Amazing. There is so much talent on the internet, and these two are one of the best.
Really good. One of my favorite songs of all time. They killed it.
Hit it out of the park. Gets better every time I listen to it.
that little Fender is so cute. lol, i've never seen one before. you guys are great! BRAVO.
These 2 girls are just so beautiful and so talented. I Love Them to Death!
Thanks. It makes me smile.
I just realized its #LolaDay when looking up the original. Great hearing Mona sing lead vocals,great cover...with your clear english its the first time that I really listened to the lyrics and the story of the song :)
Great job ladies !!!
With female singers this song has such kinks.
Ladies, Ray Davies and his girlfriend certainly knew whet they were doing when they asked you to cover LOLA.
What a spectacular cover! This is old school all the way. Blows the roof off the Song!!! It may not be the original, but you would never know it. The Kinks must be so very pleased with this cover.
The Mona Lisa magic is so evident.
Thanks Ladies for such a magical time. 💛👱♀️❤👩🦰
Excellent song choice and you both have done a phenomenal job on this amazing song with your beautiful voices!!!!!! Thanks for this awesome song 💖🤗👌
Released in 1970 and still a great song and is as relevant today as it was then. Worth checking out the Kinks, some absolute classics, I saw them many times back then, always a good memory. This is a lovely cover, chapeau ladies.
The Davis brothers would have no problem giving their thumbs up for your version of this,absolutely outstanding.T and N
Fantastic job, thank you.
After 12 weeks of self-isolating that was just what I needed - colourful musical fabulousness! Thank you.
Brilliant. Version of A classic Song Xx😉👍😀
great performance - fun to watch you two goof around. Singing should be fun.
**SUPER TALENTED GALS!!!**
**LOLA**
Ladies, keep it coming. All of us enjoy your performances and look forward to your next production.
Great to hear the song with the original words "coca cola" instead of "cherry cola" I have the original album with coca cola
Someone else noticed. Bravo. :) The UK had some odd rules re lyrics back then. Hell, maybe they still do. Their "BBC" TV is really weird to me. Pay to watch what is over the air? SMH
Ironic really, as we now can get cherry cola.... so the words they used back then might have been banned if the same rules applied!
beatifully arranged as always. luv u kids.
love it love it love it. dad is now in assisted living and this is just what i needed. God save the Kinks-God save the MonaLisa Twins
Ваша версия на удивление хороша ... вернула меня к приятному моменту времени. Спасибо.
Mona, your new hair looks great 😍👌
🤩great video.... love it.
Ray Davies has to be really happy with. I know that I am. I was 23 then so have loved this song for 50 years. Well done, as always. It has to take a lot of work to put out a video like this. A whole lot of forethought and planning. One shot of the whole song and many shots of the different segments that are incorporated into the video. I guess that Papa Rudi does that computer work. These videos look seamless.
I was 20 years old at that time. This song is 50 years old. Only something that good can live through the years!
18, and I enjoyed the song but it really confused me. I was very naive.
A Classic and a great rendition👍🎶old songs can be a little confusing 😂😎✌️
@@armadillotoe What is confusing? You use past tense with naive so honestly, your post confuses me. lol :)
Never been my fav song. But you 2. Well , just , good job ... 💘
I absolutely love, love, love your cover of "Lola" by the Kinks. It's one of my favorite covers. It is so energetic and fun. The vocals are awesome, but that's a given on any song you do. Love Mona's guitar rhythm and her tempo drumming; spot on. Also love Lisa's picking a little guitar and a lot of guitar! The video is great work showing, not only your talents, but also how much fun you are having. I always have fun watching this video and it always cheers me up. A fantastic cover!!
This is one of my favorite videos, you young ladys did a awesome job covering it !!❤️❤️
Well, I'm not the world's most musical guy
But I listen lots and they blow my mind
MonaLisa, mo-mo-MonaLisa
mo-mo-MonaLisa...
Very nice indeed, ladies. Thank you. Stay safe and take care of those you love.
Not seen this much talent for a long time
Best cover version I've seen. So crisp and clean. You hear every word. Well done for a great production. I was a student when the original came out, which I have on vinyl. I'm a teacher now, and it's fantastic to see current students appreciate this song.
God!,
they make me smile
I just had a smile on my face throughout this whole video - this was so enjoyable.
Awesome as always!!!
Friday June 26, 2020...My Guitar Gently Weeps tops 4 million views ...Congrats to the Twins for another milestone..and...later today or tomorrow Drive My Car will top 4 million....thank you girls for giving us some great music!!!!
Amazing!!!! I love !!! fantastic!!!!
Wow!! Must have been quite an honor to have Ray Davies get ahold of you!
This is an awesome cover! (my favorite)
50 year anniversary??
WTF?? am I that old? (guess so)
Thanks my friends!
So Good!!!!! Stay Groovy, Walt
Such lovely production on this, I've heard countless covers of this song over the last 40 years and this is one of the best 👍
Love that your covering the Kinks...One of my first fav groups.. Its pretty tight...
MLT! Comments on music are subjective and, in most cases, bias. I really like the music of The Kinks and I really like the music of MLT. So! There's no bias in my comment *cough*. This song is one of my all time favourites and the many covers I have heard of it range in quality and like...ability. You guys just knocked this one out of the park so to say. I would have no trouble telling MLT if I disliked this cover but I simply can not do that. It's good to see the humour in the video too as it goes well with the song. Thanks for this, listening to it for the first time really made my morning and I'm sure to come back to it over and over.
Happy Birthday Lola. I still have the original LP (given to me by my high school friend Bengy).Saw the Kinks at NY's Felt Forum back then. Great memories, great song, great video celebration MonaLisa ❤
There actually about 10 male guitarists on YT who are also stylistically different but do renditions than this one. Stick to the Beatles.
Great choice.... one of my favorites.
Keep up all the hard work.
You two have Never failed to put a BIG Smile on my face! I wish I could see you live, in concert! 😁 😘 😁
Y'all have so much fun too!
This is a truly wonderful version of this song.it s just right for your incrediable harmonies well done Ray Davies must so happy
Excellent choix cette reprise de mon groupe préféré the Kinks, juste après les Beatles 💟 par les Mona Lisa sisters, bravo, belle performance les musicos aussi 💖❤️❣️
très bonne reprise ! à écouter aussi la reprise des lake street dive !!
Isn’t this wonderful? A brilliant new twist on one of the great 60s classic numbers. The seemingly effortless perfection can only come from a huge amount of hard work over years. Thank you for this.
Great cover of a great song.
