Great to hear this.  Ray Davies meant more to me in the 60s and 70s than those Beatle boys did!

I came to post almost the same thing — I only knew of Elvis Costello's version on the Until The End Of The World soundtrack.  Not sure if I really like either version, but thank you RP for educating me on the original!!  {#Wink}

Awesome interpretation!!! The strength of the English to persevere and make the most of it. Or just Ray Davies' genius

Life without kinks would be a sad life. They can sing about happiness and misery and make it hard to tell them apart.

I think it's a catchy song. Could be the Shins or something new but it's 43 years old!!

How can you "not stand the Kinks"? I can understand how someone might not place them in the Pantheon of Rock—they may not get a bunch of "Godlike"s but certainly they merit more than share of "Most Excellent"s. Even at their worst it seems like a "ho hum" would be their nadir. Oh well, I suppose one man's "Most Excellent" is another man's "fingernails on a blackboard."

Yea, I feel ya. Just never liked them at all and when I keep hearing people say like the greatest band ever and so on, it just hardens Pharoahs heart, ya know?

I lost track of the Kinks after "Sunny Afternoon" in the late sixties or so.   But they have a huge catalog of music, and it's nice to hear something that, to me, is new!

This song came as a total surprise, especially 2 songs after Foo Fighters. This kind of mix (and no ads) is what makes RP the greatest channel on the planet!
