The Kinks - Sunny Afternoon

[scorupe]

i'm blazin' right now haha

[dave01702]

The Kinks were the best band of the sixties in my opinion and that's up against some great competition.

[omanichickiebabe]

Is that Dave playing lead guitar? He looks different.

[kashpc]

@omanichickiebabe Hahaha you mean Dave Mustaine? :P

[scarab5Q]

world isn't what it used to be Justin Bibers's baby has 151 times more views than this knda puts things into perspective

[Neocmetal]

guys look up the band The Coral , you wont regret it.

[St33zYGh0sT]

@ 1:14 THAT IS A SICK COAT!!!!

[SadisticAzagthoth]

i know hes probably sayin lazin' but ill always hear blazin' on a sunny afternoon haha

[kasihumber]

@SadisticAzagthoth I'm always blazin' on a sunny afternoon... even during a blizzard.

[jennymarkszzz]

I was born in 81 but i think the Kinks rule

[ShakedownProject]

Hi, we are a band that are heavily influenced by the kinks! If you could please spare 2 seconds to listen to a band that are still trying to play real music then check us out at our channel.

Or fb /theshakedownproject

Cheers, ok back to the sweet Kinks

[SuperElectric96]

One of my favourite songs of all time. Damn, I wish today's music and artists were like they were in the 60's. Hopefully it won't be long until more artists start to care about the music instead of the money again.

[JimmyRomantic]

Gorillaz sucks

[nb964eva]

i love how the song is entitled "sunny afternoon" yet it's a snowy afternoon in the video

[RasMajnouni]

Labour Party in Britain in 1965 at this recording time was were hammering the last nails into the coffin of the Rich & privledged Class.Before that the Title "Sir"meant something.The song is a popular last jeer or "Hang the rich". Today in America is a new rich class of teenaged Buster Browns like Just In Beaver.

[poltisco]

amazing video love this song these people have an amazing voice

[frankkleef]

is it strange if I think that they´re singing this, a really quite summersong, in the snow?:P

[mrclarkful]

I am blazing on a sunny afternoon

[LaLLaaa]

All you fuckers who say music nowadays is hit I command you to listen to Jack White, Alex Turner and Noel Gallagher for Example... Go see a fucking gig, and stop listening to the shit your mates listen too... pissing me off

[maaskeimorgen]

(:

They're so captivating to look at, them alluring things. I really don't mind about their noises either. I do love silence too though...

[dzenimihaljevic]

Dalmatia has 300 days of Son in a year...come to visit dear Scotish brother

[ACadaline]

Also the middle class in this country needs to be saved, don't overly tax the middle class, tax the damn wealthy.

[ACadaline]

Jesus it doesn't matter how old anyone is, music is over all timeless so no need to show off your age. It does not prove anything.

[midmodgal]

I spent the 80's listening to this kinda stuff 'cause we got shafted music-wise

[slytherkatify]

haha i love this song :) i'm 14.. not that anyone cares lol but yeah i don't listen to the stuff nowadays i prefer the old songs ;)

[demonchild1139]

@slytherkatify OMG DITTO!!! :) Music nowadays is rubbish, and im 14 and people think im wierd coz I like this stuff :)

[SoWillYouDream]

@demonchild1139 oh that´s so true! I`m fifteen and i have same thing!

[frankiskevin1]

This is probably one of my favorite songs of all time, oh yeah and i'm 16

[justinbogan]

This is crap. Today's music is so much better than this. They look sooo stupid.

[Saarec]

@justinbogan You're right. Music is about appearance! :D This music is awesome!!! But whatever. Your choice what you're listening to.

[justinbogan]

@Saarec Thank you for your tolerance and understanding on this matter. Here is an example of some of the music I like if you want to check it out... watch?v=6M8hrmGQOHk&feature=re­lated

[TheDirtyj13]

@justinbogan fuck you whore

[justinbogan]

@TheDirtyj13 I don't think Ray and Dave would approve of that sort of language...

[TheDirtyj13]

@justinbogan ray and dave would not give a fuck about what you think

[TheDirtyj13]

@justinbogan you are just a product of todays mainstream propoganda, music is not at all about appearance, music is about the music man, go back to watching hannah montana vids you tastless piece of crap

[justinbogan]

@TheDirtyj13 Ah, I only taking the piss. Sure I love The Kinks...

[super666atheist]

@justinbogan really? well i don't give a fck about the music today just don't bash the oldies. literally the music today is worst like fucking you in the ass.

[khazal12]

I'm 20 and I ain't apologising for shit. Not like a discovered Justin Biber or anything lol

[ThatGuyNamedTim]

People, there is still good music out there, you just have to look past the shitty stuff on the radio...

[CovenantOfLove]

=)

[lprs2727]

I'm 14 and I like to ignore the successful music of my generation and instead complain complain about pop artists eight-year girls listen to.

[4457976]

bacanaso

[adriana391000]

dont be sorry for this song covbombsquadeen be sorry that you are such an ignorant

[Daddycool1871]

@adriana391000 hes not sorry for this song hes sorry for our generation making shit music

[guspa01]

Stop fagging and saying , Sorry for my generations music and so on . There's alot of music before the 21 century that was very wierd , people who was born before then just focus on bad shit like rebecka black

[chinkey225]

i wish music was still made like this or the style of the kinks

[location201]

in scotland we don't have sunny arfertoons actually what is a sun?

[Lukesmusicplace]

@location201 its a newspaper .

[Carbon657]

@location201 What you have afternoons in Scotland? you lucky buggers, what we wouldnt give to have an afternoon in England, we have no sun or afternoons, it goes straigt from morning to night here, actually what is an afternoon its been so long since anyone has seen one here.

[jennymarkszzz]

@location201 Lol....i love the kinks but your comment made me chuckle..(im from Dundee)

[jennymarkszzz]

@location201 lol

[AlitRama]

@location201

It's a big bright fuck of a day killer.

[allandabid]

Lol, they're so similar to The Beatles. But the Beatles have more rhythm.

[johnboymac2000]

Awesome

[EvenWhisper]

I'M 19 and i dont give a fuck about my generation apologizing. just shut up and listen

[Billsy64]

@EvenWhisper Ahem brother!

[TheRedheadsongs]

hello friends im a songwriter but nobody knows who i am, if you like ray and daves music then try checking out my music "gefrin" ..peace

[TheRedheadsongs]

i am an english singer/songwriter and a big fan of ray and dave..check out my own song "Gefrin my life story"

[darkmagi724]

Why can't they sing songs like this nowadays?

[NickInDetroit]

One their best! The Kinks are one of the most under-rated bands ever. What a wealth of songs that were so different from each other.

[limolimo2012]

Beiber to the rescue!! He'll rework this one with more vigor, soul and chill than Ray. If Ray won't tour with the band, they have their replacement, The Kinks Do, JB.

[thedurliat]

cobombsquadzeen don't apologize your generation did alot for music it kicks ass

[madoldie]

tax man is still taking my money ray!!!!!!!!!

[doctordave77]

If want to lay blame on anyone, just think "DISCO"!

[atomicpunk48]

Only the Kinks would take a song that makes you think of summertime and record it in the middle of winter. Gotta love these guys.

[francescocusato]

grandi

[2minstral]

Great video of this classic tune! Thanks for sharing! Added to the worldunitedmusicDOTblogspotDOT­com website a great place to discover not only yesterdays tunes but the ones that SHOULD be on the radio today. 8O)

[CourtlyLove24]

I got a big fat MOMMA trying to BREAK ME! AND I LOVE TO LIVE SO PLEASANTLY, LIVE THIS LIFE OF LUXURY,BLAZING ON A SUNNY AFTERNOON!

[witchgreens]

i dont think its a shame that there arent many bands like the kinks today. i love the kinks. but seriously whats the point of making music thats trying so hard to be something thats already been done. we wouldnt have the kinks if theyd spent all their time trying to be miles davis. take every influence you can and turn it all into something new which reflects who you are and the struggles of your own time.

[CourtlyLove24]

@witchgreens Why don't you be interested?

[LisSunnySoul]

Dave Davies is prettier than me :/

[jonnypkmn168]

thumbs up if you came here because of queen's 'lazing on a sunday afternoon'

[27jengirl]

cool I love it

[babisk94]

Ok, the did the video in the snow!

[yofera50]

blazing on a sunny afternoon

[COVBOMBSQUADzeen]

I'm 15 and i am just apologizing for what my generation did to music !

[CourtlyLove24]

@COVBOMBSQUADzeen Dude, we make good music, don't be sucked into other people's void! Btw, I'm 24 and I expect your generation to make good as well!

[zefer07]

@COVBOMBSQUADzeen Actually, it's the generation before you. :)

[atomicpunk48]

@COVBOMBSQUADzeen  No need to apologize. I have faith in you guys. It was the generation before you.

[SceneQueenMimi]

@COVBOMBSQUADzeen ditto :)

[justrockon426]

@COVBOMBSQUADzeen What? instead of complaining like a looser you could try to change something, at least try!

[UnitedFA8]

@justrockon426 Yeah he's right go and change 10-15 years of music ruled by big freaking corporation.. And hurry up kid !

[elvispresley718]

@UnitedFA8 guess what the beatles were never a government program!

[youvefoundit]

@COVBOMBSQUADzeen don't apologize - just do something about it

[ery35jex]

yeah me too

[MrJameswilde]

@COVBOMBSQUADzeen, If you are 15, it was not your generation, it was mine and don,t dare apologise for the Kinks, however I accept your apology for what your generation did to music, some lessons huh.

[Murqooo]

@COVBOMBSQUADzeen Could you also apologize for your generation making these cliché comments under every older song? Do you honestly think it makes you seem all "mature" a "connoisseur"? Here is a thought: Find something positive in everything...then you wont mind having a playlist that has a mix of Lady Gaga and the Beatles songs with a dash of U2 and some good club music...

[Elliot0k]

@Murqooo You're crazy.



[ButCallMeLou]

@COVBOMBSQUADzeen Me too ,and this is so worst for me because I'm french . And our music just starts to be the worst thing ever ... I hate this generation :(

[ScottMcDonald27]

@COVBOMBSQUADzeen Your generation hasn't done anything to music... yet. When you're older, perhaps you guys could spearhead a new music movement/scene to drown the commercial superstars of today.

[hearteyhonkii]

@COVBOMBSQUADzeen yeah i'd say. the only good music that came from our generation is trance

[occult40]

@COVBOMBSQUADzeen I don't believe you are 15, you spelled apologizing right, and I don't see any smiley faces...

[greenpurple7]

@occult40 You both spelt apologiSing wrong

[carri3mari3]

@greenpurple7 I hope you're trolling...

[gmanmashiach]

@COVBOMBSQUADzeen im only 13 years old and know alot of songs

[drugfckd]

@COVBOMBSQUADzeen im not bashing you personally but your generation has alot to apologize for music wise i mean!

[Emlis16]

@COVBOMBSQUADzeen I'm 17 and I second that :)

[Emlis16]

@COVBOMBSQUADzeen But yeah..not ALL new music is shit these days, you just need to sift through JB and 50 cent to get to the good stuff..Tame Impala sound like The Beatles, for instance, as well as many others :)

[rachvel]

@COVBOMBSQUADzeen If only there were more 15 year olds like you! You obviously are one helluva great kid with very cool taste in music...and probably in other art forms! CHEERS to you!

[FCTwente75]

it's funny becaus it is winter.

[BilJacobson]

@FCTwente75 no it's not, winter starts on december 22nd

[MyPantsSag]

[holanoobs]

[henriqueznful]

[Sanghoma]

[83169]

@Sanghoma Watching Faux News on pot is a really bad idea...

[PabloBrown7]

The guy at 2.07 reminds me of Adam Sandler

[PabloBrown7]

These 60's band just stand there and do fuck all,but somehow they come out look cool, but when liam gallagher does it, he ends up looking like a right arrogant cock.

[ironbark1100]

This song was playing on my '57 Ford Zodiac radio , when I wrote it off in 1966 , still playing in the wreck when I climbed out....

[Maitebean420]

Blazing on a sunny afternoon :) Eat , Blaze , Sleep , the kinks <3

[TFrills]

420 in the viewssss!!!!!!

[ikaai]

love! forever ^_^

[lxworld]

Always like this song, but wouldn't consider myself a Kinks fan particularly

[SuperNonoD]

Summer time ^_^

[gewglesux]

[MrMarquee]

Funny when the drummer hits the Spruce-branch as if it was a cymbal! LOL.

[StartFreshMedia]

[law458]

[bunnyhop28]

THE VINYLS-GET IT OUT OF YOUR HEAD

[poopRscoop14]

[BrandonJohnson501]

g-eazy - blazing on a sunny afternoon

chris webby - sunny afternoon

[Lightaest]

@BrandonJohnson501 Thats exactly why I'm here too.

[frecklesandpickles]

they are the original hipsters: i.e., irony of sunny afternoon/snowy video. Hipsters only wish : )

[Balsteenoes]

133 people are stupid as hell.

[tfjea]

@Balsteenoes YEP!

[LaggerSVK]

Wondering how someone can even dislike it.

[benousen]

133personne ne connaîssent rien a la musik

[rapperzondernaam]

Check this 0:14 is the exact singing line in the song Feel Good by the gorrilaz..

watch?v=plvpV9p0ywg @ 1:04

[rapperzondernaam]

I hear the Gorrilaz

[Birdman6569]

My girlfriend's run of with my car, gone to see he mar and par...telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty... We can't stop laughing... every time we hear it!

[1skullduggery]

hierarchy of british royalty: beatles...stones...zepp...who.­..kinks.

[FergieATFC]

just seeing him smirking all the time when hes been told to keep a straight face makes me laugh everytime xD

[steveljub]

The Kinks are one of the coolest bands ever to have existed and this song on a Sunny afternnon with an "ice cool beer" is one that has you exclaiming "This is the life" - despite everything in life going against you. This is a British gem, a "don't let the bleeps get you down" number - and perfect for the recession. A real feel-good anthem, I think it' was very much a lad's song which nowadays is for everyone, and you can lose everything but still have yourself, the sunshine, and the Kinks.

[CtrlRm]

Why is Ray always laughing?  lol is he stoned?

[imajeepster]

drunkenness and cruelty! naahhhh, don't believe it!

[drunkensessions]

Thumbs up if...whatver, just thumbs me the fuck up

[suicideclub]

thumps up if ur watching this on a macbook pro

[juliameretemork]

I really love this song

[gabrielesusanna]

@juliameretemork Me too.

[northyorksone]

Amazing song by an amazing band. It's such a shame that there aren't many bands like the kinks today. Search "Likely Lads - Not Too Fussed" for a young british band who are trying to bring this great music back.

[DarkWarriorGaming]

@northyorksone that band doesent even come close to the kinks

[emanubuff]

@northyorksone i was listening to them!!! i can't belive !!!

[MrDataCode]

@northyorksone Also to add to your comment search "Project:KOMAKINO, a band that are highly influcend by Joy Divison.

[JSC1401]

@northyorksone

Great group in the 60s, but their 80s hit "Come Dancing" is pretty sickly, no?

[madmic1967]

@northyorksone It's the nature of the beast.Look at the youth. The '60s music gave us thoughtful whimsy, as that decade was all about exploration, discovery and fun.Ttwentyteens is about cynicism and fads, as this generation can only muster enthusiasm for a short period of time before it becomes 'boring'. There will never be many bands like the kinks because no one is interested.

[Joehere2010]

@northyorksone I checked them out, they didn't really grab me tbh. I recommend searching "27 Years - East Arbor 19". That band has more potential in my opinion.

[Jdwest84]

Its sped up quite a lot...

[supertjejen44]

sucks
