I was 20 when this song came out. Now, at 72 (73 in 3 days), I still consider the music of the 60's and 70's as being the best and most innovative music ever. And it was groups like the Kinks, the Beatles, the Stones, CCR, Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, the Doors, Three Dog Night, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, the Who, Steppinwolf, and so many others that made it all possible.
Yeah, I’d love to live during world wars, and also a time when smoking was seen as acceptable. You’re just nostalgic, the times most likely weren’t that much better.
@@hendude127 If you're too young or too stupid to recognize the innocence that Stephane is describing, then you're truly one of the biggest morons to ever step into RU-vid. The 60's through 80's were an amazingly magical time and there was a pronounced innocence in the air that has absolutely zero to do with today's society. Probably the same prior to the 60s, but I was born then. Ever since the politically correct libtards infiltrated our universities and political instutions, and started invoking this "Multi-Culti" love fest with everything non-white, non-Christian, non-Western, non-rightious, then western world has gone to shit, just like the rest of the world already was. First of all, this song was written in 1970 - that's 52 and 25 years after the ends of WWI and WWII about which you drunkely speak. So what the hell are you even babbling about??? BTW - smoking is still seen as acceptable in many parts of the world. What planet do you come from? And even if this song had been written during the two world wars, as you absurdly insinuated, does that mean automatically that everything is superior now? Most of the world wasn't even fighting the wars. How many Nicaraguans did you spot at the eastern front, you dingbat?
It does my heart good to see a bunch of " old ????" folks enjoying such great music. I went to a Beach Boys concert back in the early 80s and it was the only other place i have seen people my age (61) enjoying the music
I was 16 years old when this song came out. At age 19, it played as I was on my way to start my compulsory military training. Today, 26th September, 2022, at age 68, I still enjoy it immensely.
86 and so fortunate to have been around for such great UK Music Beatles Stones Queen Acker Dacker, Quo, Phil Rod,Sting,Bee Gees,Elton,10cc,Dire.plus many many more🇬🇧 I have a friend from the Ukraine who was never allowed to hear this music.

In college, after a keg party at our pad we went to town for food we ended up with a black lab pup after, trying to recover and now with a black lab pup. Lola came on the radio, we were all singing. Well the little pup started singing too. Lola was her name. She lived 16 beautiful yrs. Thanks Kinks and daddy still thinks of you Lola..RIP
The Kinks were the first album I bought. Around 1970 and I was 13 years old. I've never stopped loving their music. Thanks Kinks for all the great music you gave this world!!!!!!
Whenever there is discussion about great showmen of rock, Ray Davies definitely deserves a mention, the man can hold an audience in the palm of his hand 🎸❤
The sixties and seventies musically were the best years ever. So many great bands and groups. The Beatles will always be remembered and so they should be. But there were many other very talented groups out there and I think the KINKS. We’re brilliant.
Short answer. "No." '95 was their last concert tour in the U.S. Both Ray and Dave went on to do solo tours after that but there's little hope they'll perform anymore.
Mom this is for you. R.I.P. sweet angel. You adored this song. We love and miss you. Shine on forever. You did make a difference in all who knew and loved you!!!
Great song. To bad you fake tubers shrew it up with your outlandish b.s. stories. That's the world we are in now. I really don't care accept where um like the most evil bitch I've ever had the displeasure of aligning with is present. Hi Tina Marie perpetrating the fraud. A.H. A.K.A- NARRSI.
Whoa! Memory lane, or what?! Lola..first record I ever bought!! Yes,..record! Kinks awesome, and forever legendary, fun band. I'm an " oldie", now..but young at heart. Live on!!
I was there at the concert! People were clapping and screaming for the Kinks. I really loved their set. I was in my 60's and enjoyed the concert immensely.
If this concert was played any time in the 60s and 70s at the latest that would put you well over 100 years old and I doubt that very much. Even if it was in the 80s that would still put you at 90 to 95 years old and I seriously doubt that to.
I used to sing this with my baby daughter in the car with a CD all the time in the 90’s and so when she was 4 I suggested if she wanted to sing karaoke at Kanakti Harbor, she should go talk to the band. She marched over and I saw them negotiating and then she got on the stage and belted out: Well, it’s good to be here in Philadelphia!” And continued to belt out the song with the little green man in my head. Omg she slayed them! I looked at the crowd and every few seconds another person would recognize the song and tell their group, and the crowd went wild!
My mum and dad play the Kinks, all the time! I know every word to every song. I grew up with The Kinks Queen The Who The Beatles AC/DC Rolling Stones It was always loud because my mum said she needed to hear the songs above the hoover! 😂
For those of us who just wee ones, we didn't really get it! But do ya remember that one day as you are listening to the words and suddenly your head lifts up and you find yourself listening with your hand going to the volume knob and looking around to see if anyone else is listning. Your new emotion of sexuality bubbles up warmly and then comes the smile! So deliciously naughty and it was extremely naughty for the times! And remember thinking the same thought we all were thinking? " I can't believe they played that on the radio!" Then you go call your bf on the phone to tell them about what you just heard!! C'mon a lot of us did !! Holds a warm spot in my heart! Thank you to the kinky Davey Brothers!
As a kid one friend talked about the kinks songs which we didn't know back in the 80's being into 80s music..Anyhow got to know there Music later and it's timeless
I was a young teenager, didn’t know anything about rock and roll! I was turned on to Bruce, Pink Floyd, Styx, then I was a manager of a record store! I found my niche! The Kinks took me to my happy place! Always thankful, loving them still! Forever!
A good friend of mine waited on the Kinks at the hotel we both worked at in the early 80's. They gave him 2 tickets for the show later that night at the Auditorium North Hall in Memphis TN. My friend couldn't go so he gave me his tickets. I called a girl I barely knew in one of the Economics classes I was taking in college. The tickets were in the orchestra pit, literally one foot from the stage! Best damn tickets I have ever had to any live rock show in my life. Show was fantastic, sound was fantastic as were the seats. Seats that close change the entire experience of a live concert. I'll never forget it.
Little Richard got my parents dancing at their wedding reception. Also my🇸🇦 Parents 25th Anniversary Party, they played this song. Everyone got up to dance, including my mother and father. I enjoyed listening to this song no matter where I am.
Seen them play this song when I was a kid great show after the show was over and everyone was leaving must have been a couple of thousand people singing this song as they were walking to their cars was great good times I f.... guess u had to be there to really enjoy it 😉
Song still makes everyone smile and laugh. Except that one cousin who got busted with a cross dressing hooker. He says he didn't know was Man, 40 years later, The extended family still jokes about it at the holidays.
Loved Ray since 1964 ,when a school friend gave me his kinks singles he didn't want anymore. Even bought a sunburst telecaster like Rays.i'm 68 now and love all the records still. Long live The kinks.......Rob.
