The last of the Kinks' original garage rock singles ... and their best! And smartly chosen by the band as the show opener during their arena rock years.
@@FlipDahlenburg that is not distortion like what is meant by distortion, it seems everyone is stretching the meaning of distortion so much that soon beethoven and mozart will have been the first to use it
i was listening to a Kinks compilation CD the other night. They wrote so many good songs it's incredible, and they were all in different styles, from folky things (A Well-Respected Man) to ragtime (Dead End Street) to vaudeville (Sunny Afternoon) to dance music (Come Dancing) to, of course, their punk songs, (You Really Got Me, Till the end of the Day) and so many more, Victoria, Lola, Celluloid Heroes, Waterloo Sunset. No one stretched their musical boundaries more than the KInks, and created hit after hit through different eras. Dave Davies also wrote some great songs in other veins.
I agree with most of what you say but I disagree about stretching musical boundaries. It's documented that the Beatles experimented with over 40 different types of music during their career.
For info - that black and white movie that features in the video is called, 'Beat Girl' with Gillian Hills (the cool looking Beat Girl with long blond hair) Peter McErney, Oliver Reed and Christopher Lee. It's corny but a good period piece; got some famous actors in it too, in their youth. Oh, yes, great Kinks song in the actual video. What a band the were!
@@FlipDahlenburg 1900 first conditioner, then in the 30s jheri redding, later known for inventing the jhericurl, came out with a creme rinse that was revolutionary, by time of beat girl conditioner was widely available
I'm 72, and agree with this, my band was the Small Faces, but the Kinks preceded them, and when we heard 'You really Got me' at 14 years old it blew us away.
it took very inventive songwriting and playing to rock this hard before guitar distortion was invented, She loves you, I wanna hold ur hand, the early Kinks and The Who, wow, they figured it out the best... then that style of songwriting went away after distortion was created and widely adapted and it became much easier to rock out and play long leads.
Underrated? Not by those discerning listeners who appreciate Ray’s take on the world-his clever little digs, his ironic tone, his unexpected tenderness, his extraordinary ability to be a master story teller. Underrated? Not by those who matter.
You really got me and All Day And All Of The Night get all of the love but this is my favorite early Kinks song. love it! And remember I think Dave was only 18 years old in 65 (by the way the year that I was born) crazy !
THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD MEMORIES OF OUR YOUTH. I USED TO LISTEN TO RADIO CAROLINE WHEN LIVING IN LONDON IT WAS AWESOME. I STILL LOVE THE KINGS TODAY OVER 55 YEARS LATER. tHAT IS HOW GOOD OUR MUSIC WAS THEN.
First time hearing this since about 1975 ish. Fabulous band much missed. Classic track that awakened many memories of good times when I was young and carefree. I love it 🥰
@@bcrater6400 I was in the radio business during their reign and never heard that. However, I just did some research and found this on Wikipedia: "Following a mid-year tour of the United States, the American Federation of Musicians refused permits for the group to appear in concerts there for the next four years, effectively cutting off the Kinks from the main market for rock music at the height of the British Invasion.[3][49] Although neither the Kinks nor the union revealed a specific reason for the ban, at the time it was widely attributed to their rowdy on-stage behaviour. It has been reported that an incident when the band were taping Dick Clark's TV show Where the Action Is in 1965 led to the ban. Ray Davies recalls in his autobiography, "Some guy who said he worked for the TV company walked up and accused us of being late. Then he started making anti-British comments. Things like 'Just because the Beatles did it, every mop-topped, spotty-faced limey juvenile thinks he can come over here and make a career for himself.'"; subsequently a punch was thrown and the AFM banned them."
This was one of my favorite songs growing up. I imagine that I was, about, 14. I think it was on the B side of one of their singles, if my memory serves me correctly.
A cousin of mine was part of a street theater troop in Swingin' London in the mid- to late-60s and then ran a boutique off of Carnaby Street. How I envied her!
Started work at 16 was an apprentice butcher it was a.nice early summer afternoon and sunny afternoon came on the radio joyous times time machine back please

You may well be right, but the women in The Seventies and later decades, even up into the year 96446 were nice, too, until -Well, you perhaps remember what happened with the milk float?-Also, your point about women in The Sixties being sexier than the passing fair damsels of today, merely proves my point about Taylor; a point about which I am not at liberty to divulge lest the Silver People at Camelot revoke my Tardis licence.

@@luiscalcano4359 Whoa, you’re quite the rock historian! Those were great times for radio, including the shift from AM to FM’s hipper music from 1967-on.
Amazing song, amazing music - good to hear that Dave Davies has fully recovered from his stroke and is making music again. Amazing video too. See a very young Oliver Reed at 1:44 - in the role of "Plaid Shirt" Also an equally young Shirley Anne Field at 2:05 who went on to star with Laurence Olivier later that same year (1960) in the Entertainer.
@@lovetarantulas Beat Girl also known as "Wild for Kicks" The blond actress was Gillian Hills. Shirley Anne Field is the brunette with the square cut top jiving with the guy not wearing a tie. "An impetuous teenage girl becomes involved with Soho's beatnik and striptease scenes to spite her staid architect father and her French ex-stripper stepmother." Hilariously bad in places, you can pay to view it on RU-vid but I really wouldn't bother.
@@jeffreycrawley1216 Her grandfather was Boleslaw Lesmian, considered Poland's greatest poet and her dad, Denis Hills, was a famous English adventurer.
Great Spot there, I also saw Barbra strisland at 2.17 as well, And i'm also tempted to think Andy fairweather low was in there as well. Glad someone recocnised gillian hills as well.
England's first garage/grunge band! The Kinks were - together with the Who - so groundbreaking. Here they were still in their You Really Got Me phase, but the best was yet to come. Before the band became "Ray Davies & the Kinks", they had great close-harmonies too. And great Go-Go mod dancers too! My favorite track from the early Kinks is Everybody's Gonna Ba Happy, it wasn't a big hit, it stalled at #17.
Tipically 60's. I was born in 1964. Sixties were fantastic like never seen after and before. Music, colour, rythm from UK and Mary Quant. Gracias, saludos desde España.
Those girls are now great grandmothers ,great time the sixties I was born 1950 ,where have all those years gone .married in 69 to cute skinny gorgeous blond ,still am still love her
Clearly it never “came out when the song was released”. It’s a 1965 record by the Kinks, whereas this particular video (enjoyable though it is) seems to have cobbled together by a RU-vid enthusiast from multiple 1960s sources - including LATE 1960s colour film newsreel (I believe from Pathé’s library), and extracts from “Beat Girl” (1960 b/w UK film).
I agree. Always, one of my favorite songs from the Kinks. They transition, smoothly, through many motifs. It carries you. A good song is, always, a little journey.
The lyrics are so upbeat, but the D minor chord gives this suggestion that the singer isn't quite so happy as he's trying to convince himself he is - just Ray's genius....
Most of the dance clips look much earlier- maybe '58 to '60. Anyway a wonderful, groundbreaking band and a really great song that evokes the excitement, positivity and optimism of the time. 1965 my favourite year !
At that time - barely past bubble-gum pop - this must've sounded so _grungy!_ Like: exactly the music that parents of the era must have detested most; _perfect!_ ;^>
