The Kinks - Victoria

[zxkjr]

i think they made the caracther victoria in HIMYM just because of this song - or could it be that they know that in the future it would appear a wild and awesome tv show like this and made the song especially for it?

[arkansasyouofa]

this brings me tons of memories. Those magic 60's!!!!

[kiks740]

well franz ferdinand, the kooks they all remind me of the kinks... thats one of the reasons I like them :)

[MrFelipempa44]

[cirecireify]

All these people who "discover" classic rock via 21st century situation comedies or video games are amazing. I wish I could hear some of these for the first time again. :-) Enjoy!

[re3d90]

@cirecireify Funny fact is , while listening to it , it transmits the same emotions you may have while when it was in the movie / game :)

[hork13]

@cirecireify sorry not everyone was born at the same time, but great music will always be great

[80sRockIsKing]

how about a thumbs up if your name is Victoria?;)

[TravelerDiogenes]

This wasn't from the " You Really Got Me" album. It was from the "Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)" album in 1969. I bought that album, and no one else I knew had ever heard of it,even years later. But it was very likely their best album, critically. And that is saying a lot.

[haziqbass93]

i hate the hater..



[Norimarisu]

Kids: You cant talk yourself into falling in love. It doesn't take days of deliberation.

When its real you know pretty quickly and with absolute certainty.

I had forgotten that but I was about to be reminded ♫ ♪ ♫

[MartaItaly]

love this song

[dankohma]

How i met your mother make me discover this amazing band!

[allysheehan]

How I Met Your Mother brought me here <3

[98Tejma]

Thumbs up if you are here because of the HIMYM

[Rian199]

HIMYM :D

Thumbs up if "destiny" brought you here 

[Rian199]

HIMYM :D

[BeatsFlows]

The way ray sings reminds me of Paul McCartney

[XwergadX]

VICTOOOOOOOOOOOOOORIAAAA, VICTOOOOOOOOOOOORIAAA! probably one of the bests moments of HIMYM I've ever seen

[ronniedillon]

The Kinks set the stage for so many many British bands. Amazing songs!

[EdixFromItaly]

Thumbs up if you yell out loud "VICTOOOORIAAA" because of How I Met Your Mother

[familiee123]

Heard this on HIMYM, that's why I'm here. :P

:)

But nice song.

[dudamarley]

thumbs up if you came here because of how i met your mother :)

[TvvoTr3es]

HIMYM



[cogumelo87]

@TvvoTr3es True story

[TvvoTr3es]

@TvvoTr3es YES finally got thumbs up

[histrydude]

@ broblem12 - That is what makes the Kinks so great. They have so many songs that are completely different from everything else they've done. Great song writing band.

[asmallvict0ry]

I Love Victoria xxx

[bettypro]

the fall did a great job of this,but the kinks are obviously the best ...

[mrhitmanisback]

wtf have the kooks got to do with the kinks lmao ffs some people are strange

[tigerpumpkinflower]

Victoria! such a groovy track

[SteffanLlwyd]

Wonderful many-layered simple song.

[uberhandle]

Happy Victoria Day Everyone!!

[Broblem12]

Glad as always to find more solid and enjoyable Kinks songs. Sounds a bit different than their other songs and that is cool. I love their songs no matter how they sound!!!!!

[typicalme2]

Wasn't this on the Album: "Arthur, Or The Decline And Fall Of The British Empire."?

[erico888]

@typicalme2 Yes, it was most definitely on that album

[uberhandle]

Never heard of the kooks.

[pkotowski]

Kooks? Please stop.

[beneathpavement1]

Also check out The Fall's version, and Sonic Youth's cover of the Fall. A classic tune.

[TimmyCinSoCal]

One of my favorite Kinks songs ever. I don't think Ray Davies will have to worry about someone covering one of his song better than he can do it.

[morganredneck]

one of the most patriotic rock songs i've ever heard

[chickendaveus]

I love the lyrics to this song.

[kubak551]

i can;t believe that so many people are so stupid. Compaing the kooks to THE KINKS?!! and what an idiot is thinking that fucking kooks vocalist is better than Ray?!!!

[sharonra2000]

@kubak551 what matters is that we know that ray is the king. his voice still is perrrrrfect just like him..remember, you cant please all the people all the time and dont waste time trying to convince them of what is good for them. thank goodness we have extremely excellent taste in music!!!

[iguanna41]

@kubak551 never heard of the kooks who are they?

[StanKindly]

The album was named after their brother-in-law Arthur Anning who moved to Australia qith their sister Rose. Only Ray could write such a happy sounding song about such serious subject.... cynical with class!

[MOONST0MP]

This is one of the best Kinks tracks but it never gets a mention!

[jofeho]

The Kooks cover is way better than the original... but it's just so cool....

[GaryBoy1976]

@jofeho You being serious!?!

To compare The Kooks, to The Kinks??? That's just mental!

[jofeho]

@GaryBoy1976 Of course... Luke sings many times better than The Kinks's vocalist (his voice is ugly)... The Kooks's version for Victoria rocks... they are very cool... But... The Kinks've made an awesome song... Anyway... The Kooks rocks... Have you ever heard their Victoria version?

[kinksboss1]

@jofeho hahahaha...the singer's name is Ray Davies, and he will be known for decades because of the dozens of absolute classics spanning 30 years. I like the Kooks, but no one will be talking about Luke like that

[stevenvose]

Actually, the album this is from is _Arthur, or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire_ (their greatest album)

[garethella]

my favourite kinks tune ,amazing songwritng.

[dicklange]

Greatest Kins tune ever! Greater than the greatest!

[Yokonono99]

great song, sounds even better live

[mcsushi2007]

Great song, I'll admit.
