[MermaidPrincess9]

ONE OF THE GREATEST ROCK SONGS EVER WRITTEN.AND NOT JUST FROM THE KINKS. AND OF COURSE THE BRILLIANT MIND OF RAY DAVIES ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS IN ROCK MUSIC.. THE LYRICS, ARE PHOENOMINAL AND THE GUITAR PLAYING AND STYLINGS FROM RAYS YOUNGER BROTHER, ARE GREAT AS WELL.. ITS JUST A KILLER SONG.. YOU CANT HELP BUT WANT TO ROCK.. RAY BABY YOU ROCK ME TO THE BONE.. I LOVE YOU BABY. ROSIE. ( WE MET TWO TIMES ONCE IN 69.. YOU WERE A BEAUTIFUL ENGLISH BOY..AND SECOND TIME IN THE NINETIES../

[MermaidPrincess9]

This is one of my favorite songs.. Kinks.. brilliant Ray...its so rock and roll.. Love the words the music.. "She Rocks me to the BOne" I think this one of the great ROck songs.. Definitely, prooves that the Kinks may have written mostly about the Life in ENgland and everyday life in England... but this goes back to their roots int eh begining when Ray wrote about Girls and sex and romance.. Yes full circle moment here.. I love the rocky side of Ray. its so sexy.. Daves guitar tot. rocks

The theatre lost out on a great natural actor/ham in Ray Davies.

Which means us music lovers lucked out.

[Kastoffkinks]

I agree, it is a bit puzzling.

Someone has suggested that the weird goggles are seeing what is going on in the apartment - the goggle-man gets thrown about during the tussle between hippie Ray and the girl.

The contents of the shopping cart seem to be musical debris - records, tapes etc. The "tuba" is an old gramophone playing the song.

No idea why Dave takes the photo - maybe he is making an album of pics of Ray's failed relationships :-)

Watch out for that motor-bike, goggle-man! :-)

[sbarr10]

God I love this song.

I'm trying to figure out what's going on outside with the guy hanging out with Dave wearing the goggles or gas mask. The shopping cart containing the tuba. And why the photo at the end? It's like Dave and goggle-man are outside observers watching this romance fall apart, LOL.

[cochranexyz]

@sbarr10 Wasn't some of this used in another Kinks video?

[davlinful]

Ray says that the original title for this song was " 12 inches and black" so he thought he better change it !!

Rock bands come, rock bands go but Ray Davies goes on forever, All day and all of the night......

[goner1]

one of the best kinks songs i ever love them :)

[ksol77]

ACTUALLY this video came out in 1996, under RAY DAVIES. :)) GREAT SONG! :))

[jfig1000]

the best BAND THAT RIGHT RINGO THE BEST EVER AND NEVER WILL BE BETTER

[sampras1979]

so f***´n good :) Bands like The Kinks will always be loved and remembered, what they play on radio today no one will remember a year from now!

[dgrfrr]

damn some people in the world have no idea what music is. god save the the kinks!

[0000jacki]

the kinks are too GOOD for radio - that's the problem

[CENTAURSARATOGA]

This tune was one of their very BEST...yet ,little to no airplay...its' for ALL Music Lovers

and a freak'n shame so many people have'nt heard it !!!

ROCK F8538'N ON!~!!!!!

[tball95672]

I remeber hearing it when it was new on 96.9 the Eagle in Sacramento...I thought,shit this better than anything new then?

[sbarr10]

Every time I hear this song, it "cuts me to the bone." It's just breathtaking.

[narredude]

Sbarr10........rasa left ray on his birthday just to twist knife a little bit more he then tried to suicide via an od so it would make sense that a song as powerful as this would be about something close to him

[krankiekat]

It really gets me annoyed how a song this good can be so over looked by the masses and the garbage that gets radio airplay over something this good!

God save the kinks!

[krankiekat]

I agree, radio is in the hands of fools...are you out there " around the dial "...

[cookmoore]

Love it. Interesting video!

Ray with a mustache?

[TheDudeWillAbideth]

[werskine]

[sbarr10]

This is a gorgeous song.

[Hedvibelle]

love it..

[cochranexyz]

Great bloody song!

[Leifura]

This song is written about Rays divorce from Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders.

[sbarr10]

@Leifura , Ray and Chrissie were never married.

Actually, I think this gorgeous song is about his separation and divorce from his first wife, Rasa.

[mymeester]

Gives me chills every time I hear the truth.

[Dadchris]

We love The Kinks

[Dadchris]

Ray & the Kinks are the best !

[ethifanman]

This is a great song and yet it gets NO airplay - we have a bunch of morons in charge of radio today

[pilesovinyl]

@ethifanman AMEN BROTHER. I`m so disheartened by today`s "music". I find that most of what I listen to are the infrequent releases by the artists I grew up with in the 60s and 70s. Thanks for the words of encouragement to my kind of music...

[alabhaois]

@ethifanman Damn right we do-- ticks me off!!!!!

I love the Kinks-- superb

[kringles4]

@ethifanman well said, you nailed it! very frustrating.....

[cochranexyz]

@ethifanman  Been in charge for years.

[vivalabeat]
