LYRICS:
I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like coca cola
C-O-L-A, Cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
L-O-L-A, Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman but talked like a man
Oh my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Well, we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said "Dear boy, won't you come home with me?"
Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes, well I almost fell for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her and she at me
Well, that's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world, except for Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Well, I left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said "Dear boy, I'm gonna make you a man"
Well, 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 is Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Originally recorded 9 May 1970 at Morgan Studio 1, Willesden, UK for The Kinks classic ‘Lola Versus Powerman And The Moneygoround, Part One’ original album sessions. A concept album ahead of its time, it’s a satirical appraisal of the music industry, including song publishers, unions, the press, accountants, business managers, and life on the road.
Remastered by expert Kinks engineer Andrew Sandoval, overseen by Kinks frontman Ray Davies. ‘Lola’, which reached the #9 in the US, #2 in the UK and Germany, was the Kinks' biggest single success since ‘Sunny Afternoon’ in 1966 and marked the start of big comeback Stateside. The track, written by Ray Davies, allegedly details a romantic encounter between a young man and a possible trans-gender person whom he meets in a club in Soho, London.

I was 25 when this song came out, and at age 78 I still love it to this day. I’m just a year younger than Sir Raymond Douglas Davies, and I feel blessed to have shared a generation with him and The Kinks along with many other great bands from that era. I’d like to do some things over in my personal life, but musically I wouldn’t trade that time period for anything. Music has never been more fun than it was in the 60’s and 70’s. It was a great time to be young.

Really? Here's a nice summation of the Kinks from Wikipedia: The Kinks have had five Top 10 singles on the US Billboard chart. Nine of their albums charted in the Top 40. In the UK, they have had seventeen Top 20 singles and five Top 10 albums. Four Kinks albums have been certified gold by the RIAA and the band have sold 50 million records worldwide. Among numerous honours, they received the Ivor Novello Award for "Outstanding Service to British Music." In 1990, the original four members of the Kinks were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as well as the UK Music Hall of Fame in November 2005. (Plus, Ray was knighted a few years ago.) Underrated? Not by a long shot.

I don't think I've ever heard a song by a mainstream band that's about finding a trans woman attractive, about delighting in our sexuality. More than that, I love the line "It's a mixed-up, muddled-up, shook-up world / Except for Lola." It'd be so easy to treat her gender as her being mixed-up, muddled-up, shook-up, but it's not. She's just a hot woman with a deep voice and strong muscles.

@aaronalexander4928 Год назад

What lol? No, Lola is clearly a man. He even says outright that Lola is a man. Yes, he may have found her attractive, but then he found out Lola is a guy. That is why he "shoved her away and walked to the door." He was proud that Lola stood up for himself and shoved back, showing Lola doesn't take shit, but he also clearly states that there is nothing that is going to be happening between the two now that he knows Lola is a man. The song isn't about Trans rights or acceptance or anything like that. It is just a song about the first time a country boy gets to the big city and encountered something he never would have seen where he is from and how he goes about processing that awkward turn of events. Lou Reed did the same thing.

@ellentheeducator Год назад

@@aaronalexander4928 I genuinely don't get how you read it that way - he continues to refer to Lola with "she" to the very end, even after pushing her away. But more than that, he says "that's the way that I want it to stay" after looking her in the eyes, knowing what she's got in her pants. More than that, when she continues to come on to him at the end, there is no rejection in the lyrics. He calls her "my Lola". You're right that it's not about trans rights. It's about a country boy discovering a gorgeous woman in the big city. Said woman just happens to have a low voice and is strong and is probably trans.

Loved this song back in the early 80s in my early teens and love it even more today. Rock on, The Kinks!

This was probably one of the first The Kinks songs I listened to: revolutionary.

@mxmschae Год назад

You Really Got Me is their biggest hit. This is their masterpiece.

I saw the kinks in concert.. So glad i did... the Give The People What They Want tour. i wore the tee shirt with the short sleeves rolled up. My favorite t-shirt for years...I thought it was bad ass I thought I was for catching the concert. I dont even know who i went with, I do know I liked thier music. Greatful they came to Hampton Virginia i had to see them live since they were going to be there. Lola still has meaning today. Always will. Good song to play.

A classic for sure. I was at the car dealer for a car inspection and they were playing a mix of hard rock and rock from the 60's -80's on a new music system system. It brought back some good memories, I had forgotten the inference of the words to this one! Not sure why this looped twice but now it's stuck in my head. Among the numerous songs played was Magic Carpet Ride! 🙃

@sadieladie5195 5 месяцев назад

I want Magic Carpet Ride played at my funeral. Hoping it will be MAGIC! 72 now, but not quite ready for it to played for me!

True story? I was doing 51 second laps (186 mph) at Talladega about seven years ago with this song blasting. No one else on the track that day. The g's on the turns with this song going. Nothing better. McQueen....eat your heart out.

@StephenCassidyNL 2 года назад

I seen them live in 1986 and when they sung Lola, you could hear the crowd singing 10 km away. The Kinks where the backing band to ZZ Top and were way better than the band they were backing. I feel very lucky to have been able to see some of these great bands live.

I don't care if Pink Floyd hated this song. I absolutely love it. I love Paintbox too. I listen to both regularly when I listen to Pink Floyd, my favorite band for the last 23+ years.

@dinosanchez8528 2 года назад

If Lola came up and asked me to dance, I would. Its kind and I want them to feel accepted, like they are entitled to just as much of a good time as the rest of us. That there's nothing weird about them, they are just as beautiful as the next person It's time to throw away our stamps, our labels, and just try to get along and have fun while we're here.

@jeremiasgreyriver5717 Год назад

I've listened to this song a thousand times and I can't believe it was written in the 70's I love it

@barryirwin60 3 года назад

Great to hear Coca-Cola instead of Cherry Cola.

@Britishbjornis 3 года назад

You only hear cherry cola in the British version because the BBC in 70s wasn’t allowed advertise and they thought they may get sued for advertising Coca Cola of well song saying Coca Cola.
