@mahones64 Those dancers, and also the ones on the old American Band Stand, were hired dancers.

A New Wave Classic!

The Kinks were a great band, and this is he best song they ever did.

[LllDawnlll]

"My sister went there on a Saturday"  Priceless!

[leoseries]

The song refers to the large dancehalls of the fities or "Palais de Danse" as many of them were known. You had to dress really smart to be allowed in so they couldn't exist today!

This is another example of the Kinks at their best. What a great story about his older sister. Peace.

This song got bashed to hell and back in 83

[hotsickle]

That's for sure! it's been going thru my non-existient brain, day & night, for twenty six years....

[WarlordFeyd]

One of the best songs that Kinks ever wrote; "The day they put down the party that's when my childhood died..."-Great Line

Mikey, faved and 5*****stars!

[PanchoPistolas1968]

It's "Palais"... Dance Palais, that is...

"The day they knocked down the palais

Part of my childhood died, just died."

Awesome line!

[WarlordFeyd]

Palais-thank you very much for the clarification on this cool line of song (Mikey) and apologizing to you for not responding earlier...
