[hylalp]

Does anyone else hates this "beppy" commercial of MyFunCards?

[sera817]

I think most of thr english groups were fantastic, they all had their own kind of sound. Some groups were equal to the beatles.

[AlbertSnail]

From 2012 London celebrations cooooooooooooool :) xx thumbs up if you heard this song 1,2 ,1,2 1,2 1,2 You really got me :) xx

[pastimacku]

I've been looking for this song for a montah :D I've finaly found it !Fuck yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

[jcvhunter]

Where's the lyric at 1 minute and 13 seconds into the song where you hear Dave saying, "Fuck Off"?

[JosephHornagold]

I love it how thier producer created that guitar distortion by stabbing a speaker. :D

[MrMikej413]

Late seventies for Van Halen you mean. This was sixty four or sixty five. Apparently Dave ripped a whole in his amp to get that effect.

[heyheyhey82397]

I'm confused, did The Kinks do a cover of Van Halen's song, or did Van Halen do a cover of The Kinks? Anyone care to help me out? :/

[michaelino12345]

@heyheyhey82397 Kink is the original. so 2nd.

[kenco124]

@heyheyhey82397 this is originally The Kinks. Van Halen didnt start up until the late 60's where as these released it in 1965 :)

[groundedsax]

@heyheyhey82397 Eddie Van Halen was in third grade when this came out lol

[SuperMalcymalc]

[betterthanyou482]

[madoldie]

[roejogan8]

@madoldie beatles are great too. never understood why some people need to talk down about one band just to prove a point that another band is good.

[tubbythug92]

@roejogan8 WELL YOU CAN BLEED ON MEEE!!!!

[thesinner922]

the birth of hardrock and punk hell ye

[roflolD]

checking out the links the kinks made more songs that i love but didnt realise who sang them

[Seraphimal]

I can't believe this is from the '60s.  Still sounds so fresh.

[geekintheperimeter]

During the gym class warm up, our gym teacher would play this, manfred mann, the police, etc!!?! What a great music to exercise to!!

[MoondogGuitarist]

who ever wrote the tags must have tourettes. 

[MrJuxtapoz2010]

@MoondogGuitarist the guy who posted the video

[faresahmad333]

no doubt this music is still being lsning not like the new fuckers in 5 years no body will know them

[CoreyL11]

lol whenever I hear this version, I always expect the little guitar fills that they have in the the Van Halen version.

[lee52844]

where i live there's a restaurant in 60s style and there's a jukebox , man i spent 20 bux of pocket money on that song ! I'll never regret ...........

[pivotnoob236]

back in the day this was like satan music...now its classic rock

[TranzTheBand]

/watch?v=l0ZFkzlOg3c&list=FLPo­eibzVY9qiNfgx9zzbx4Q&feature=m­h_lolz sounds like a copy of this with a modern touch!

[auntyangela]

[ukgreaterlondon]

please sexy ladies come into my dreams at night

[ZoeyFen]

Best fact is they're British!

[LolaLavonda]

"It wasn't called heavy metal when I invented it." -Ray Davies

[OldMusicftw]

@LolaLavonda If you're implying this is heavy metal then you're dead wrong.

[LolaLavonda]

@OldMusicftw no, i just thought that quote was funny. i wasn't implying anything.

[ZetaKriz]

same "get ready" the proclaimers

[CubeableGame]

The best thing about this song, is that it's played on a broken amplifier. Birth of the distortion effect!

[lilyeve222]

@CubeableGame I've heard this classic song played on the radio a lot, I love it, I didn't realise it was played on a broken amplifier though, I love distorted sounds ever so much, if this is where the birth of distorted sounds came from, I appreciate this song even more now!

[CubeableGame]

@lilyeve222 The Kinks' guitarist Dave Davies, sliced the speaker cone on the amplifier with a razor blade and poked it with a pin to get that signature sound. Few years later, the already invented fuzz pedal became popular with players such as Keith Richards, Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page.

[Elefant95]

Are The Kinks still singing ?.If not i want them to make a comeback tour, that would be awesome.

[TheLe627]

Official anthem to blue balls.

[robertavatar]

i used to get me but then, i took an arrow to the knee...

[dontevenexistyet]

awyehh! i might be just 15 years old but sixties music really got me!

[marshaul]

@dontevenexistyet WTF is with these kind of comments on youtube? "I'm only so many years old, but this and that..."

Who gives a crap?

[DeaDCorE45]

Middle School :)

[ghanddrums]

96 people like Van Halens version better *facepalm*

[LilttleMiky]

"Infatti si vede, da come lotti sembri proprio un bufalo" ---> 0:00 *____*

[Aquaduckt]

A Justin Beiber advert before a legendary 60's song from a great band....That just takes the biscuit!

[ricky1oh1]

mnkn

[wildsmiley]

I prefer the original. The riff is dirtier.

[josiahivan]

@wildsmiley

this IS the original

[wildsmiley]

@josiahivan That's what I'm saying. I prefer the original as in the Kinks.

[01Shorthanded]

@aztechJP, hey this is the original VH couldn't come up with this riff if there lives depended on it, Eddie is good but...

[monstertruck900]

[mariohoo]

[ALLERTORLOVER69]

VH some what messed up a little on this

[hardcorexplotion]

I hope my neighbours like 60's music, because my speakers will explode :P

[Cranio76]

@hardcorexplotion Not far from reality: "Distortion gained widespread popularity after guitarist Dave Davies of The Kinks used a razor blade to slash his speaker cones for the 1964 single "You Really Got Me"." [wikipedia]

[BaronM]

@Cranio76

Legend. 

[boheimans]

u tube comments dont count give me a break

[LiquidSwords1000]

lol nice blinking squares bro.

[Rampant7990]

@jaggedliddlepilltwo It may give your debates a bit more credence if you check your vocabulary. i.e. " voila' " , rather than "wah la".

Flame away, I don't care how pissed u kids get over being taught anything here any more.

[staaaaaaaaaaaaay]

this is rock

[MrPonko]

@jaggedliddlepilltwo What are you following me around for weirdo? I have not typed a comment on this video in like two months, and you accuse me of "hanging round here"?

Don't ever reply to me agian creepy strange odd girl, unless you want to arrange doing a strip tease for me on MSN messenger webcam while your husband watches, get lost and die.

[Ashboyyyy]

@kaktuscar86 Little bit weird.

[kaktuscar86]

@Ashboyyyy I usually don't do this. Not my thing. But this girl, it's like she has got a spell over me. Everywhere I look, I see her face. Weird, or not, that's the situation.

[kaktuscar86]

@kaktuscar86 The girl of my dreams is now mine. :D She's really got me.

[idonthatesandwiches]

[bellaboobaby1]

i remember this from guitar hero II :) lol

[NoMoreNiceGuy1]

i remember 2 years ago me and my friends played this at school, i was on bass. Memories

[MissChipNdale]

two top comments that don't contradict each other.

[shashwati]

For a song that's supposedly so "easy" to play, I've NEVER heard a decent cover of it (by which I mean retaining the punch and energy of the original). People seem to really underestimate it and screw up the execution.

You don't have to be playing 300 notes a second to make a song good. The primal caveman-like quality distinguished it from most other popular music of its time, while also being (undoubtedly deliberate)...It took Davies' writing from wannabe blues to pure proto-Stooges rock.

[MetalMonarchy]

this is a kick ass song.

[inferno7050]

WOW vocalist sounded like he said we really got meth!

[wfarrar69]

this song's a rocker classic

[m3shyBlend]

OMG that solo is soo hard to learn, I am trying on guitar

[Touji09]

A classic song nuff said!

B T W Just look at the tags:

the kinks you really got me now can't sleep at night day evening afternoon church catholic jesus christ satan devil hel

Hahahaha

Satan and Jesus fight for your soul with this song as the sountrack

[MikaylaG22]

in pep-band we have this song and it's one of my fav's

[itsawarmgun]

Gotta love the British invaison of the 60s... The Beatles, Stones, Kinks... It doesn't get better than that.

[Greataardvark]

@itsawarmgun Exactly.

[Donariad]

This is what music is... Correction: This is music that's worth listening to!

[KoreyC3]

i can play this on guitar and im 11

[lucas07700]

@KoreyC3 congratulations, you're 11, you have great guitar skills, and a great taste of music, i'm 13, i heard this for the first time when i was 12.

[ConsuelaPilgrim]

@KoreyC3 ok

[GilesS100]

@KoreyC3 Hard.

[heroofolympus]

@KoreyC3 woah, this is like the easisest song known to MAN to play on the guitar. try blackbird by the beatles

[McFlyLover92]

the intro reminds me of their other song All the day and all of the night x)

[DjFoXxy89]

why isnt there any longer version?? -.-....

[Amalfi5150]

van halen is my favourite band but i gotta say this version is better .. the solo is so incredible

[ibpwngckc]

So much better than Van Halen. Just a classic!

[vmanbeatles]

this is so much better then Van Halans cover

[skittlz575]

there's a lot of history behind this song.. did you know this was the first song ever recorded to use distortion? i don't think the Kinks can take credit for discovering distortion, but what they did was take a pencil and poke holes in their amps.

[duggy51]

@skittlz575 I believe this was the first song to use distorted power chords. Chuck Berry's guitar was ever so slightly distorted and the guys from Bill Haley and His Comet's guitar's were damaged in transport and were, there for, distorted. I did this in university :)

[gabriel48593]

this is the band that I like!

[tareco59]

Great sound from the 70'S !!!

[70sLAgirl]

@tareco59

It would be 60's, dear !! But great sound, you're right !

[theworldGodonlyknows]

To the boy at the train station staring at me: "You got me so I don't know what i'm doing."

[Maude7Potter]

Ah put.in j'aime ça ♥

[Mmmathers4]

Damn han valen.

[JojyIrish]
