An old favorite.
All Kinks song include humor.
GOD SAVE THE KING ! AND GOD SAVE THE KINKS !
You might also want to react to The Kinks epic elegiac Celluloid Heroes. A wonderful song, seldom reacted to ....
Ray Davies, lead singer of The Kinks, wrote this song in the memory of his sister who would go to the dance halls alot. unfortunately she died of a heart attack on the dance floor at the age of 31. Davies said he wanted the song to be upbeat and a joyful memory of her
His sister also bought him his first guitar
@@MrChelsidy She gave it to him the day before his 13th birthday. She died that night.
Love this song but there is a sad story behind it. Ray Davies wrote it as a tribute to his sister Rene who died during a night out at the Lyceum ballroom.
Rene Davies gave Dave his first guitar and died too soon . The part about her marrying and living on an estate is a tragic statement of what should have been .
@@victorwaddell6530 I read an article sometime ago that made this song even more poignant to me.
Apparently his sister married and moved abroad ( Canada, I think) but her husband was abusive and she would return to London when things got too much for her.
She suffered from a heart defect which she knew about, that night she died she was upset about leaving London and wouldn't leave the dance floor even when she started to feel unwell.
Yeah I know it . Saw the kinks live best ever
One of the great things about The Kinks was that they weren’t afraid to sound British unlike a lot of British bands. This song is full of British terms that Americans don’t use yet it was a big hit here in the US too.
It seems very odd to me that they have the American "parking lot" in the first line instead of the British "car park." "Car park" even fits better with the tune.
@@Fool3SufferingFools Yet he used car park later, shrew move to influence two audiences perhaps.
I saw the video when I was a kid and became a Kinks fan instantly... didn't understand a lot of the terms, but for a 10 year old in BFE Tennessee it showed me a far off part of the world😊
Ray Davies was late born to his mum. His sister Rene was a deal older and she raised him and his younger brother Dave. On Ray's 13th Birthday Sis gave him the greatest present he could hope for. His first guitar. He was over the moon until a bit later she suddenly died of a heart condition no one suspected whilst diancing. It was the best and worst time of his life. I like to think "Come Dancing" and "Don't forget To Dance" are a sweet way he remembers his sister
She had rheumatic fever as a child and it damaged her heart so it was not totally unexpected. She died at 31.
You'll love their song Ape Man
The best British band 👏👏👏👏👏
As you know, The Kinks are a deep dive. Keep going, we love it!
As an old American man nearing 80 the Kinks were a very loved band in my neighborhood from their very first song. Much better than the Stones or the Beatles at the time. I still prefer listening to these boys and still put them on the stereo ever since I first heard them in 1964.
You are so Right, all the Best from London.
If you like Kinks-riffs, try The Hard Way from Schoolboys In Disgrace.
Love from Morten in Norway :-)
I agree with you Harri, Dave plays some Great Riffs.
The sister in the song was Ray Davies’ older sister Rene’. She gave Ray his first guitar on his 13th birthday and later that night, suffered a fatal heart attack from an undetected heart ailment while dancing later that night
Ray Davies is a genius. Check out their 70s catalogue: "Misfits", "Rock'n'Roll Fantasy", "The Road", "Superman" and of course "Celluloid Heroes". You can never go wrong with the Kinks. Greetings fom Germany...
Gruesse von New Jersey!!!!! Die Kinks sind einfach geil!
Just another great Kink's classic. Ray Davies who had six older sisters and he said they would go on dates, go dancing
and only give a kiss at the end of the date. Dating in the 60's, remember it well.
Love the guitar riffs, the horns
and the wonderful drums, the vocals so great. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Craig. Super tune. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
You’re welcome!
The Kinks are always a fav,...yes more than the Beatles.
Good selection. I love the Kinks! I don't think there's a song of theirs I don't like.
one of the greatest music videos ever. tells a story so perfectly. Ray Davies did a brilliant acting job.
A beautiful memorial to Ray and Dave sister Renee. While the song ends on a happy note,in reality Renee died of a heart attack while out dancing with friends,the same night she gave Ray his first guitar for his 13th birthday. Every time this song is played “Renee” gets to Come Dancing. I wonder if you can figure that out by the appearance of the girl at the end.
I did not know that.
It's a very touching song that makes me very sad and upbeat at the same time.Beatifullyvwritten. We hat a tribute
I grew up with all the music from the British Invasion. The Kinks were huge & had a lot of hits. I especially love their music from the 60's & 70's. "All Day & All Of The Night", "Set Me Free", "Tired Of Waiting For You", "A Well Respected Man", "Dedicated Follower Of Fashion", "Sunny Afternoon", "Dead End Street", "Waterloo Sunset", "Autumn Almanac" etc.
Victoria, Lola, Apeman. and so much more..
@@IvorPresents See My Friends... that one often gets overlooked, but I love it.
"I'm Not Like Everybody Else", "Where Have All The Good Times Gone", ...
I had 4 older siblings . 3 older sisters and 1 older brother. My sister closest to my age was 6 yrs older . In the 70, she was really into dance clubs, disco and the like. When this song came out it always reminded me of her and her love for dancing. She’s passed now. Died from a stroke and diabetes complications in 2019 . I miss her . I cried listening to this song again
I am sorry for your loss.
Now you made me cry. 😢 Sorry for your loss. I lost 3 of my brothers, so I know how you feel.
@@lindanadeau1884 thank you 🙏
@@MsAppassionata thank you 🙏
Has to be one of my favorite Kinks songs
One of the best songs(and videos) of the 80's ( or ever) . Brings a tears to me eyes. ----I do love it when Ray Davies (of The Kinks) as the older man Tears down the Kinks poster
Great song Craig. I do love the Kinks and Yardbirds.
Thanks!
My favorite Kinks song. When I first bought that album, I thought, "This is kind of tame for the Kinks.". Yet, I couldn't stop listening to it. When Ray sings, "part of my childhood died," I almost want to tear up. It's just so heartfelt and beautiful.
Kinks always played dirty word play. What a fun song, put together perfect. We did know all their music in the states.
My absolute favorite Kinks song. So catchy, sweet story, nice "comback" song after they fell off the charts for a bit.
Thanks !
Harri, you are on a roll today, my friend! I love the sweet story of this song "The day they knocked down the Palais, my sister stood and cried" 💔
Also, if you want another sweet little story song from The Kinks, try "Picture Book."
I always love to listen to The Kinks
They never gave up their integrity ( perhaps a bit between brothers 😉)
Great song. Thank you Craig for asking for this little gem
Who doesn't love the Kinks. Let's go dancing.
I'm Canadian, and I am a huge Kinks fan. Love love love them. They were certainly huge here and this is my favee of their songs.
Good 👍
Like the Kinks. Ray Davies voice and Dave Davies guitar playing. Dave was one of the favorit guitar players of Pete Townshend from The Who. Lots of great songs. Dave had a great hit in the Netherlands with the song DEATH OF A CLOWN.
If you like, check it out, also a little humor in it.
Thanks for this one, Harri 😁👊👍
I love The Kinks. Got all their albums, lots of Kinks T-shirts, and The Kinks decal on my car . Dave Davies has a beautiful and poignant song called "Flowers in the Rain"
Excellent reaction of one of my favourite bands from the original British invasion. I wasn't aware of their difficulties in the U.S. but in Canada they were a huge part of our musical youth and maturation. Cheers from Canada Harri!
A brilliant song.Its a song most folk relate to.Everu time I listen makes me sad!!!
I enjoy your style. Love that scarf
Perhaps my favorite Kinks song, although it's a very tough call.
My teen years during the British Invasion. Loved The Kinks.
For the same time, Eighties, Kinks, you should enjoy "Do it Again" a fine groovy rocker, with flashback to the Blitz with the Older Gent' that Ray D' also played in "Dancing", and a trip down to Brighton, and nod to the Davies brothers neighborhood of Muswell Hill, London.
Oh oh oh!
Oh!! I love love this song. I’m so glad you found it! Don’t you just want to dance??!! As the older sister who used to go out dancing this one touches my heart!
A true gem.
From "All Day and All of the Night" (1964) to today, the Kinks have always been big in my U.S. house, Harri! And Come Dancing is one of my favorites. They did a follow up, called "Don't Forget to Dance." I think you might like it - give it a listen. And my favorite of theirs, "Celluloid Heroes." Ray captured what it's like to dream the Hollywood dream.
This was the first music I ever bought myself. Got it on casette. Still one of my favorites. :)
Dance halls all over like this one had a common feature. They had a Live Floor. Underneath the top layer were tightly spun belts of Horse Hair. Because there was a subtle movement, the dancers could go longer as all the music was live.
The venues wanted people on the floor
Great patreon pick! Always loved this song and video!
One of my favorites by them! Great reaction
Harri - This song always reminds me of Crystal Beach, an amusement park where I live. It existed since 1888 and is now a gated community.😫😫 The "big band" and tons of famous celebrities did come to play there. Now it's gone with all of that history. True, as you said part of my own childhood died with that park.
Ray's sister gave him his first guitar. I often wondered if the guitar he played in the video was her gift. She had rheumatic fever as a child that weakened her heart but she loved to dance. She died doing her favorite thing....dancing...the day before Ray's 13th birthday, when she was only 31. This is his tribute to her. Ray Davies was brilliant and I loved the Kinks. They did social commentary "Dead end street", "Lazing on a Sunny afternoon", early punk, many styles, and often with humor, like "Lola", "Dedicated follower of fashion". One of the great bands of the British Invasion but underrecognized. My faves, this song and "Waterloo Sunset".
Have loved, loved The Kinks since the British Invasion of the 60’s 🇬🇧 ❤ They have so many hits. Ray’s sister died when he was 13, so I can imagine the pain he wet through, this song is a tribute to Ray’s sister, she encouraged him, gave him his first guitar and the rest is great history. I am so glad that you reacted to a Kinks song! All the songs Dagmar mentioned are fantastic & exactly why I fell hard for this amazing band 💎💗 greetings from 🇨🇦 where this band was huge in the 60’s - 70’s 😻
This is such a charming and touching song. One of my favorites. Nice review.
If I remember the story correctly, Ray Davies, the lead singer of the Kinks, got his first guitar from one of his older sisters. She used to love going out dancing every weekend. Well, the night she gave Ray the guitar, she died while dancing. It runs out she had an undiagnosed heart condition. Ray always wanted to write a song about his sister who changed his life with the present of a guitar. And this is his song for her. Sad and bittersweet like a lot of Kinks song and of course quite witty.
One of the staples for early MTV
A very underrated live band...
Melancholy feeling for me. Reminds me of my sister going out until all hours when I was a very young teenager. Think this song is dedicated to his sister who also died quite young.
I like the way you break down the song and the video. You seem like a very knowledgeable and likeable guy.
I always thought that this song had an upbeat and sad sound to it simultaneously.
His oldest sister gave his first guitar. They said she passed away when she was 30 or so. Apparently while dancing, but I've heard several variations so I'm not sure. Either way, a great tribute to his sister, and a great song. I've still got my ticket stub from way back when they did get to tour in Atlanta.
That is true. She had rheumatic fever as a child and it damaged her heart. She died at 31 while on the dance floor at the Lyceum. She gave him his first guitar for his birthday.
More Ray & Dave Davies
Nice
Arthur please
I’ve always loved The Kinks. As I’ve gotten older, this has become one of my favorites of their songs. The younger brother watching his sister, the loss of a favorite hangout, and the wish to be able to take his sister dancing - such nostalgia! Sadly, if the story I heard about this song is true, it’s a tribute to a sister who died too young.
This came out in the 80's, classic either way...
this song from the very first time i hear it some 40 years ago it had me in tears and still does every time i hear it
Awesome song and story with a bit of Caribbean flavor to it!
I'd never seen the video before! I love this song, and I loved your analysis of it. I never really thought about it before.
Ray was/is such a great documenter of the English way of life from the post war period on, always with that affectionate, wry humour and/or a touch of wistfulness..
And great tunes, of course...
Love all the parts he plays in this video. IIRC, in real life, his sister did always go out dancing, just as described, but there's a tragic ending to that story.
Last thing I heard, he still lives in North London, close to where he grew up.
For a guitar driven fun-fun song by The Kinks give Ducks On The Wall a listen.
I'm so glad you react to this. The Kinks released an album called 'The Muswell Hillbillies', named after Muswell Hill which is where they and I grew up
Got my school uniform from keevans , lol
This is a sweet nostalgic song from a great band
Saw them performing at DAR hall in Washington DC around 1973, sure enough they had a fight onstage at the end of their set. They were great. much later I saw them in San Diego on their Sleepwalker tour. Amazing how influential they were.
Glad you got there Englishness in there lyrics, So undervalued up there with the Beatles.
Brilliant! I can't count how many times I've seen the video for "Come Dancing" since MTV first ran it back in 1983 and yet I still can't help but watch it all the way through every time I do. It's rare that a music video adds rather than detracts from the story a song tells, but that video accomplishes that and more in four minutes. The little details make it come across like a movie. The Kinks were popular in America. Just ask Van Halen. The funny thing about the nostalgia in the video. 2023 is as far removed from 1983 as 1983 was from 1943. Nostalgia upon nostalgia! The power chords seem placed to arrive with the demolition of the palace, as if The Kinks used the first half of the song to build to that moment to emphasize the point. For it suggests to me the possibility that rock and roll may have ultimately led to the demise of the palace. Perhaps the nostaliga is seasoned with a touch of guilt.
You gotta listen to "Waterloo Sunset"
Such a fun song. Wonder if he asked if his sister would go dancing. The Kinks had another song about dancing around the same time. Another great song to give a try. Don’t Forget to Dance. ruclips.net/video/8Hl7-K9QZhY/видео.html
The Kinks were really talented. And another band whose songs didn't all sound the same.
I'll admit that this was the first Kinks song I didn't like on it's release.
I've grown into it
Harri , It kind of reminded me of the place we used to hang out at from our late teens to my late 2Os,. we grew up and used to go see the bands there I even was a DJ there for a while in the 8Os . in 1989 the bar went into receivership and shut down forever. a few years later it was torn down and townhouses were put on the location so every time I hear this song it reminds me of that time we had there. I even wrote a song about the place ruclips.net/video/E0ZSyxRNisU/видео.html
The kid in the video is supposed to be Ray
Sister Renee never had any children she died in her mid 20’s of a heart attack.Check out the story
He didn't know the night would end up in frustration
He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week
All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek
Meaningful song for Ray Davies. Personally not my favorite I've seen The Kinks 15-20 times and this song was usually played mid show and it was my bathroom break song so I've never seen it played thru.
You've got to play "Tired of Waiting for You" by the kinks. It's a very catchy song with nice changes. You'll be a step ahead of the competition. I never cared for this song.
Oh yeah I remember those days are you almost had to give her a ring just to get on second base I remember taking girls out on dates and not thinking spending 100 bucks on her sometimes I did sometimes I didn’t get a peck on the cheek
Do apeman
Ill take the kinks over the stones except the stones “disco” albums
No one gets this song!!!
You do Voo do!
