THE KINKS - ANIMAL FARM

[shakesmellow]

love this song so much, one of my favorite bands

[cosmicjets]

I love this song!

[Beuferd743]

I listened to this while writing a paper about Animal Farm lol

[pamcash]

The lyrics are pretty sweet and so is the music. It's hard to believe it's directly referencing the novel.

[TFrills]

Ommmmmmmm exactly what i was thinking. We are all one

[tinvillager]

Is possible that you people these days can make a comment without your dirty mouth taking over? This was my time in the 60's in the UK we had a good time but we had some respect. It's a lot of you don't these days. But hey ho.

[slimshadyrealrealrea]

holy shit man

who tha fuck is janoski???

All the fucking Kinks videos in Youtube got this name in the coments

[TH3ST1G117]

Dose this have anything to do with gorge orwells book or is it just a co-inkidink??

[shashwati]

@TH3ST1G117 Ray Davies used to read Orwell, so coincidence is out. I'm inclined to believe that he loved the idea of writing a song with this title even more for its referential value.

[Paganel75]

Many artists seemed to live for fame. The more time passes by, the more my feeling is that the Kinks lived for posterity. To that respect, their incorporation of two members of the late group Argent was one of the best things that could happen ti both sides.

[pikeonfly1]

Best band ever.....seen them years ago in a war torn Belfast .....one of a few bands that would play here at the time and they were brilliant.

[metalgearsolid20111]

SUBLIME

[modette69er]

All i want for Christmas is my own Animal Farm:)

[luneda2]

YoÙ`RE SO RIGHT, but not all the music of today is trash.. We have got to be fair, there are still some good artistsl around.

Thank you for your nice comment

[MrTayloroo]

Schizophrenic........

[FortYeah]

Quelle toune!

[NlHILIST]

half a century ahead  of their time

[krzbug999]

found this song on a complete whim. sometimes u find diamonds in the manure = )

[3Roymunson]

One of my favorite songs of all time. Animals and Children are the only truly innocent beings on this planet. Adults are too jaded

[douglasj53]

@3Roymunson I hope we can regain that innocence. This song makes me want to. I know so many people who remember their baggage like they miss it. Like winos sniffing a cork. If this song touches you like it does me, it gives me hope that we can be reborn in some way and be like children again.

[GreenhouseEffectGE]

Too many great songs off just one album here -

[douglasj53]

@GreenhouseEffectGE  A masterpiece.

[Mike23Fink]

i cant find dis song on Itunes

[bwc3821]

Someone please..... take me where real animals are playing.

[douglasj53]

@bwc3821 If you find Animal Farm, take me with you.

[luneda2]

jkramaster, meanwhile I got 50 thumbs up for my opinion, which isnt bad at all. Youre right they were loud (think of Lola) but on the other hand they were so thrilling to me in their choice of subject that I didnt care much about the volume which to me seemed rather subdued compared to todays standard. I just loved the Kinks for another reason: their lyrics conveyed a message contrary to the Beatles who were just melodycrazy, except John with his wonderful "Imagine" still is modern today.

[jkramaster]

I first heard this song when my sister's boyfriend was strumming it on my guitar...later that night I taught myself how to play it and have been in love with it ever since. Much less to say it rocks my socks.

[andreioliveiraskt]

stefan!

[iwantwatermellon]

1:30 reminds me of The Tales of The Crack Fox

[the0riginald0nut]

thumbs up if u searched this because of stefan janoskis habitants part.

[kinksboss1]

great song

[callaaj1983]

real animals are playing =decent good humans

[muttilo]

@callaaj1983 nice point

[SunnBurn]

@psicotermico. Muito obrigado. Um dos melhores "álbums" na historia da música rock.

[wakiki2]

This song makes me want to move to the English countryside and marry a homely peasant wench and have eleven children.

[poiler02]

I really wanna live on a farm and listen to this song and the animals. :) That would be really nice. :)

[ysgaisyih]

giraffe on fire is my favorite painting. so..jackpot for me lol

[boscoruby]

@ysgaisyih Giraffe on fire? That's an awesome concept! Who painted it?

[ysgaisyih]

@boscoruby dali

[seansurlow]

Really like this.

Wish the graphics were sharper

[philbgarner]

My current favourite song! Poignant, bucolic and nostalgic all at one. Ray Davies is a genius!

[iadorenewyork]

Just beautiful. One of the best from the Kinks and from the incredible pen of Ray Davies. Thank you!

[soihoy]

genius

[PlanB1101]

STEFAN JANOSKI!

[wyteboybb]

one of my fav kink songs

[WSGTTV]

dont know why but I really lol'd when he sang cats and the dogs, and it came up with a picture of a cat and a dog but then he sang pigs and the goats and it came up with a picture of a horse :P

[MisterLyndon]

interesting picture choices!

[theword10]

@JohnyNomoney lol got to respect a kid who knows his video parts (ie. stefan janoski - inhabitants) good call on the song homie i didnt even realize that this was the song haha

[leedfoot]

I hate hippie and red neck and white people

[liamsdad33]

@leedfoot so you hate your self?LOL!

[ohio1968javelin]

the KINKS Rule!!!

[caspersghost2]

hippies will listen to anything.

fucking hippies.

[llenllenllenl]

You're an Asshole.

[badgerfaye]

The Kinks and The Who were definately NOT hippies! If anything, they were anti-hippie.

And this is a great gentle track, from a band that was otherwise rebellious most of the time.

[davidd7147]

this song was originally written by ray for an album of childrens that never came to be - along with phenominal cat

[ohio1968javelin]

the Kinks Rule !!!If your to musically dead to enjoy or understand go die.LONG LIVE ROCK dumb ass!!!!

[caspersghost2]

dude the kinks were badass when they put out stuff similar to the beatles revolver. but wtf is this shit. i mean really? go worship jerry garcia some more and autofellate to Julian Casablancas

[jamreaper]

listen to state of confusion or burnadette

they r the scource of all modern hard rock - metal - and heavy metal

[SuePrim1]

Ray says it good! The world is insane and I'd rather work with animals than people any old time! I do wildlife rehab and truth be told, I've sure learned a lot from those opossums! My daughter is going to be a veterinarian!

[Liozeris]

With wonderful Hippie Art too. Life is good.

[nozscrap]

dog eater korean.

[currypot1965]

[mission2marsden]

We listened to this song in English class when we read the book "Animal Farm" haha. Great tune :)

[ethantanneredwards]

Great tune and George Orwell did a really good job on "Animal Farm" if you like it you should read "1984"

[gabs1601]

love this song

makes me happy ^^

[bobbrun48]

great song thx for post wouldnt let me post it lol 5 stars

[luneda2]

Great stuff by the Kinks, showing us how poor the artistic qualities of todays artists are, where loudness and stupid lyrics dominate.

[LuckyNinja99]

Agreed. Yes, there can be the odd band that can construct complex lyrics and deal with mature themes (Muse, for instance), but The Kinks just have that magical quality, and combine their unique style to such a great effect

[diggingformud]

@luneda2 beautiful aren't they - rock ballads, rock operas, symphonies, jams and chart hits, everything you need for a fulfilling, smoky music session.

[LunarEcli]

@luneda2 sick of these comments...of course there is good music today. people just dont care to look for it.

[luneda2]

@luneda2 I got 29 thumbs up for my view governor, so I cant be that wrong after all. But still it is only one opinion and you are right there is good music around today.

[SpaceBambino]

@luneda2 mate, early kinks were louder than most bands today. i dont think volume is the problem

[bilbomarks]

@luneda2 There's plenty of good music today. It's just not on Mtv and the radio.

[suicidesox]

@luneda2 Yeah it's weird to think there was a time when bands cared about the way music sounded not about the money they made. Like todays garbage

[MsLithium21]

@luneda2 Totally agreed. Looks like 15 people know nothing more than today's junk. Poor them!

[SpaceBambino]

@luneda2 you really got me was louder, rawer and the lyrics were defintely not genius by any standard. it's still a prime example of a song that kicks your fucking ass. i dont think the volume nor the complexity of the lyrics have something to do with the poor state of today's pop music

[Syntox]

@luneda2 - There's alot of good music being made today, it's just not on the radio, it's not being promoted by a pretty much dead and destroyed major music industry...Don't confuse what's out there commercially for what's really going on in the music world...There was a lot of crap on the airwaves in the 60's too, people tend to forget!

[sadziom]

It's like an Animal Farm, lots of rular and charm...in the country..

Sorry for quoting another band :P

This song is good.

[uuuush]

this song is perfect in stefan janoski's video part inhabitants

[theword10]

[charlesdabest]

[chriswituik]

[1994nina1994]

does this relate to the book?

[BailMeOutObama]

Read the book, listen to the song, report back to the class.

[AlTheChemist5]

word.

[WelderChick7]

Truther?

[dirtastegood]

dang dude i love these guys. I bought an mp3 player with htem on it. I didnt know who or when they were from

[LEFWWFC]

Well, at the end of the day, roughly half the population is female, the other half male. Now while women may be strange and may not make very interesting people, they do make good sex, do you not agree?

[funkymcbean]

The funny thing is that I'd say the same about some men. Ha!

[TheOxRocks57]

Agreed :D

[chenyuxuanyuan]

perfect！

it  calls my memory of the past up...

太好了

它让我想起好多以前的事

[LEROTHECAT]

God I love this song. Thanks for posting it! It's been years......

[2BluesMan2]

A great song!

[PlaNBBSk8Rs0n]

stefan shouldve won soty but silas baxter neal is sick too

[TorpedoSam88]

stop your yabbering

[Ptrgamb]

There is no one else today who would come close to being able to write a song like this. It's "naive art." It's so heartfelt and brilliant that it makes you smile and hurt at the same time.

[LEROTHECAT]

What a great sentiment. You hit the nail right on the head. Makes you smile and hurt at the same time, do you mind if I steal that quote? It's too good to pass up!

[helltopay1]

good stuff. i listen to this kinks stuff and my eyes tear up a bit,too many memories of when i originally heard all this stuff,very powerful.Fuck it.

[d1974]

Strange, I always felt this song, like almost all their stuff, is ironic and cynical and just masquerades as naive.

[beatbands1966]

half insane. Sir, it's more than that, More and more generations have no idea who the Kinks are. Insane that is !!!!

[ChasDarling]

No.

LONG LIVE THE KINKS!

[cdizzaat]

[bendobrin]

this is beyond fantastic..a 5 star rating is low...i don't know why i haven't seen this before but thanks for posting it,

[ethifanman]

AFTER 40 years since its release this song and album is now considered a masterpiece...didnt sell many copies in 1968...I was one of the few that bought it...my God what a great song...this is beyond rock n roll...its in a league all its own...the kinks have always gotten raw deal....yet, they kept on a going and wrote over 500 songs in their career and still going strong...yeah baby!!!

[TheSocialSuicides]

does have anything to do with the book

[r45tapasta]

my animal home ha I love this song

[muttilo]

You picked beatiful images to go along with the song .

[ender106]

Every Version of this song that I try to download is corrupted

[dohuetube]

[TheFrozenLads]

[crocbot]

some of the kinks songs arent as good as some of there other but i luv the sound of all the invasion bands

[bolivianex]

The kinks at their creative peak what an album...

[nacapula1]

The lyrics of the Kinks were superb, as well as the music and mixed with typical english humor,

Thank you

[greengargantua]

Find me a place where people are real people and "not just playing" at being people and I will go there!

[KabuklaMiyoleh]

Wonderful pictures, love this song!

[nastyprismsforsyd]

Ah, one of the wonderful things inspired by Mr. Orwell...

Brilliant band, brilliant author; this has to be one of the best songs ever.

Haha, I have to ask--what's up with the Pink Floyd "back catalog" photo stuck in there? Some of the ipctures are random.

But we like it like that, right? :)

[greengargantua]

Maybe the Floyd back catalog is included because of the cover of Atom Heart Mother has a "Cow", a farm animal. Also, the cover of "Animals" has a Pig, another flying farm animal.

[nastyprismsforsyd]

Ah well there you go, thank you.

[7h3Wh0]

it could just be because Floyd is awesome?

[greengargantua]

You are correct sir, could be.

[Enright9591]

I like this an aweful lot :)

[PHYZOE]

Superb with great humor as well. Thanks for a great post.

[Coldacre]

I LOVE this song
