The Kinks were England's first alternative band , looking at a very English life like the song Autumn Almanac , they did it with off beat lyrics and humour , dead end street was a great song and they were a fantastic group .
One of my favourite Kinks songs about poverty in the UK, which was abundant in the 1960s. The film preceded Monty Python by 3 years, which started in the fall of 1969. The Kinks are parodying comedy sketches of the silent movies of Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton, etc.
I think the influence for the video was probably the early Beatles movies, Help and A Hard Days Night that were shot in a similar style.
This was made almost 2 years before Monty Python aired. I was 12-13yr old living in New Zealand when this song/video came out. The only TV station available (NZBC) used this video and The Beatles Penny Lane to plug up gaps in programming. The video was also banned from airing on the BBC
Ray Davies = Genius
They wrote brilliant vignettes about UK life with wonderfully dark, music hall lyrics.
This band, lyrically speaking, were ahead of its time
1966. Pre- Monty Python, pre- Madness. This video was banned by the BBC. The Kinks saw thru the glamour of Swinging London of the 60s. Did the Clash's London Calling take the opening riff from this song? Did Oasis pay homage to this video with the importance of being idle video?
Clash City Rockers ripped The Hard Way.
The kinks were/are so ahead of their time, no one was representing the working classes in the UK at the time of 60/70s, we were all blind sided by the Beatles, Stones and then Hippy movement. This was a class awakening to the struggles of the people working to live. Lola is a prime example of the Kinks, banned from the US.
Lola wasn’t banned in the US but some radio stations faded out the song prior to the “and so is Lola” reveal. The BBC banned it because it mentioned “Coca Cola” - Ray had to return to London while on tour in NYC to dub in Cherry Cola to get BBC airplay. The Kinks were banned from performing in the US between 1965-69 by American Federation of Musicians for rude behavior.
I love the Kinks. Love this song and Video. This Daed end street is real and Dave Davies visite this a few years ago.
The best when it came to observations on life,they came out with many masterpieces
Musically and lyrically, one of the greatest songs in history. One of the reasons some of us think Ray Davies is the best composer in popular music. The video was incredibly audacious and was considered too much by the BBC to be broadcasted. There are few examples of such a political outcome so explicit in the sixties and even later. They were the Sleaford Mods of the times. I was sure you would be touched by the message. Keep on exploring the Kinks in their 66-70 period, it's full of masterpieces you will love.
The man can keep his greed, I'll rather keep my dignity, thank you very much. Power to the people and the beats!
This is going way back.
Wow…takes me back to school in my teenage years. Give “Where have all the good times gone” a spin.
Good call! I also like Bowies cover on 'Pin ups'.
haven't heard this one for years, still a great tune!
The BBC in the UK are showing an evening of The Kinks tonight so that's me sorted! This is a great track and I bet the film did inspire Madness, who had some serious songs, the point of which often got overlooked because of the light hearted videos. Good to hear that the channel is a positive outlet for you guys, keep going and I hope it grows.
Dead End Street = Our House? Good point.
You can see the influence in a plethora of bands, bands like madness and the jam and paul weller especially is dripping with the kinks influence!
The Kinks were all for the working classes and most of their songs reflect that. Sunny afternoon, and Waterloo Sunset are real classic songs.
We did Waterloo Sunset
I haven't heard this song for years, but it's still a great song. I obviously didn't get the message as a teenager, but it struck home today , especially as times are hard again right now.
I think you're definitely right about the more money you have , the greedier and more underhand you are.
It makes me laugh that my neighbours all think I'm rich because I drive a Jag , own my own home and have a business. I have bills just like anyone else but I'm always willing to help.
The British ruled classic rock. Especially the 1960's. On a slightly related note, you two would like the recent album by the Damned, Darkadelic. They're known as the UK's first punk band (by a couple weeks). But over the decades have added goth, psychedelic rock, glam, pop and humor. And their singer is the original rock vampire, Dave (Transyl)Vanian
One of the Kinks producers Larry Page lives in Avoca Beach in Australia see him most days ..nice guy
Hey great song you reacted to there. The Kinks are a treasure. I'm sorry to hear about your struggles. I was homeless in 2011 (not for very long). But im happy your channel brightens your outlook. Music heals. All the best - Kevin
This song reminds me of my very first real drum kit and the time I'd started to learn to play the drums (in 1980), as it was included in the 'Best of The Kinks' cassette tape my Big Bro had given me, and it was one of the first things I'd played along to 😊
"Dead End Street" circa 1966, "Monty Python" 1969.
I am glad there are a lot of knowledgeable Kinks fans on this channel. Great suggestion. This song was a B side on a flop single but a staple of their live shows. These guys were very underappreciated early on in their career because they were banned from the US from 1966-1969. You've hit many of their best spngs but you still have several great ones left. 20th Century Man and Celluloid Heroes 2 masterpieces you must hit eventually. Thanks for all the Kinks and God bless the Kinks (A British phrase that began in the 60s and 70s)
Sorry I meant God save the Kinks my bad lol
I totally agree that you should give 20th Century Man a listen. IMHO, the greatest single song ever recorded
@@ComplicatedLife1 Hey dig your name. A real underappreciated Kinks song.
I’ve been to the street in the video
Wow ! This is brilliant , heard the tune years ago , but never seen the Video , proper enjoyed this ,Cheers ,
This was a single in 1966, and one of the first videoclips by a song ever made by a band. Sadly the clip got banned by the BBC because they thought the guy escaping out of the casket was distasteful, grrr... Suggs, frontamn nof Madness is a huge KinKs-fan btw. Thanks for reacting!
The next Kinks song you guys have to do is called “Celluloid Heroes”. This song might be the Kinks best song
Kinky sound is tres digital ^-^-^
This was WAAAAYYYY before Monty Python. Martin Feldman and Spike Milligan were the Python's main heroes and influencers - check them out.
Incidentally, so was Lazy Sunday by the Small Faces, where you also saw a Python influence. Python were great, but they weren't as ground-breaking as Americans think.
We're 70's kids from Canada. Around midnight on CBC, when we were growing up, we would first watch Benny Hill, and after that, Monty Python. We grew up on their comedy, and I guess that's as far back in comedy history we ventured.
@@hanierfamily Thanks for your reply. I don't want to decry the Python's - I loved them and they WERE ground-breaking. But they were the culmination of a British comedy tradition that began with the towering, if sometimes baffling, genius that was Spike Milligan. The Pythons adored and respected Spike to the extent of giving him a cameo in Life of Brian. Milligan created 'The Goons', starring himself and Peter Sellars, which begat 'I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again' (a radio show on which John Cleese and Graham Chapman (amongst others - notably the three 'Goodies') were huge stars as writers and performers.) Marty Feldman and his writing partner Barry Took were pursuing a similar mad-cap path and Jones, Palin and Idle were up and coming writers. Spike's insane 'Q' TV series was also around pre-Python. 'At Last the 1948 Show' featured many of these writers/performers.
This stuff is all worth a watch as is the wonderful tragi-comedy of 'Hancock' and 'Steptoe and Son' created by the other giants of British radio and TV comedy, Ray Galton and Alan Simpson.
Thanks for listening :)
You do a lot of comparison reactions of song's,well Cardiacs did a cover of the Kinks song Susannah's still alive,and whilst the Kinks original version is of course great,Cardiacs,in their own inimitable way make it even better,it's just a lot more livelier.But,it would be interesting to see what you think.
Honestly, it gives us an excuse to put songs on our channel that we already know. We'll compare them to somebody's cover and get the views without breaking our rule of doing only songs we don't know. And, there aren't many others doing it.
Brilliant track but the promo was harking back to the early days of Hollywood like Buster Keaton, Chaplin, Keystone Cops etc.
We're all struggling because the complete failure of the 44 year experiment of monetarism/trickle down economics continues to be ignored
Go to work, two jobs, and no money...The Tory UK personified. The Bankers are fine.
Yes , you are not wrong !!!
Was it not Labour that bailed out the Bankers ? Don't get me wrong, I loathe the Tories but I see no salvation in the alternative.
As the Conservatives were trashing what was left of the economy in the last 3 years, they did so without any opposition from within Westminster or indeed the media.
@@charlesappleby8049 Yep !controlled opposition . check out the documentry
"Hidden Law History of the UK "
the deception started hundreds of years ago ! cheers !
Sadly todays Labour party is nothing like the Labour party of the past, once the party fought tooth and nail for the working classes, today they are very different indeed.
@@martinwebb1681 Yes ,they are all singing from the same hymn sheet ! All lying bar stuards ! do not consent to the BS
monty python? can't see the connection
