So far ahead of LBGTQI+. (Or at least that’s how many letters there were in early 2024. More will be added, I’m sure)

Hey, glad you get to be who you want to be. That's a big deal for me. Shine on!
I came out 25 years ago, desperately grateful for anything that said I’m not alone. Pride stickers, etc. I never read the lyrics for this until today. I had no idea.

Very clever lyrics. Ray Davies at his best. It was very daring when first released and has never dated. Solid 10.

No doubt 'bout it, that was an unexpectedly ball'zy song for the '70's.
Kudos to the Kinks, You Really Got Me with that one.

I noticed that the announcer mentioned that this was done in 1967 and that is what it says on the details but I was in the UK and Spain in 1970 and this song had just been released and was all over the place. I just checked Wikipedia and they agree with what I thought.

Brilliant song.

Every time I hear this song I wish that Bill would play more Weird Al Yankovic. The "Yoda" version is awesome.
Named my Grand Cherokee Lola because of this song. So pretty on the outside but loves to run at 80 mph on the interstate and over the rough stuff when off.

Had a roommate decades ago who loved this song, and when I explained that Lola was a dude, he simply refused to accept it. Always gives me a chuckle whenever I hear this tune.

Ray Davies at his cynical peak love it
As a gay-positive straight guy, I'm still grinning at how those tough-guy-stoners from high school failed to notice that Lola was a man.... I love this song for more than just that, of course.
My first 45.
The original! The BBC made The Kinks change the words "Coca-Cola" because it did not allow songs with commercial endorsements.
Goes waaaay back to summer of '67. Came back to California for my first visit after a move to Texas in '65. Summer of Love it was.....GREAT TUNE, GREAT LYRICS, GREAT MEMORIES!
