i was like 5 or 6 and my dad showed me destroyer, lola and this song by the kinks, and i was hooked. amazing song its not amazingly hard guitar stuff but its still sooo fun to play. i love this band. much better than some of the new punk bands
In an ideal world, Ray Davies would have developed a horrific allergy to shirts when he hit puberty. Forcing him to spend the rest of his life half naked. What a shame.
Oh yes...the song. Vair good. Too bad the video is such bad quality though. Still a lot of fun.
Terrible video and sound quality, did you record this in 1977 with a VCR. Those things were extremely expensive back then. Non the less, I do love this song. One of the best christmas songs of all time. In fact the greatest christmas song ever done.
hihi, he really is! I never thought that I would say this one day, but for the first time I have to confess, that Dave looks cuter! But only in this video! ;-)
Actually I always wanted to read this book (plus X-Ray from R.D.) but it is very difficult to get them here in Germany. I'll try to order them from amazon. But please tell me-what does Dave tell about it?
Dave decided to play a trick on Ray, who was dressing up as FC to promote the single at one of their concerts. Dave arranged that when the time came to play the song the rest of the band would start playing something else, to make Ray look like a twat - which he did, amusing Dave no end. Not so Ray, who attacked Dave when they got off stage. In the book, the punchline reads something like 'I've never been punched by a Father Christmas calling me a f****ng c**t before'.
What a droll story!I love these smashing Davies-brothers! Always fighting!Cute.Wish I could see it.There is another gig-desaster-story (around 1973):Dave was standing in front of the amplifier-wall,when Ray started to going backwards, towards Dave, while singing with closed eyes. At the last moment, when Ray was almost hitting against Dave, Dave stepped aside,instead of
helping Ray not to hit anything! That was when Ray was banging against the amplifier wall,which collapsed,and the funy thing was, that you could still hear Rays voice trough the loudspeakers:he continued singing,while Dave died of laughter and the whole show was going to become their most chaotic show,ever.Some authors say, that Ray
must have been very very high that night, and Dave and Ray had one of their neverending fights before the show begun, so that Dave almost took advantage of that situation seeking for revenge!Wish I could see this scene!I LOVE THE DAVIES BROTHERS, especially Ray!!!
Well, you are 19 (older than Dave was when he did a lot of the stuff in it) so I am sure you could handle it. But your mum is right, it is fairly eye watering stuff!
sex pistols couldn't have written a better christmas ditty than this............

I don't think i know either, my mom read Kink, three times, but she said parts of it are inapropriate for me. So what did he say?
