"Dick lawyer"...Bloody hell.

Chopra's sheer arrogant stupidity makes me SO glad he changed nationalities...How much knowledge do you need to understand that using diffuse esoteric-sounding terms is NOT the same as actually saying something?

It always staggers me just how much this stuff ends up sounding like Futurama...

@PeasGraveny That really pisses me off too. It happens waaaay too often that that a band that critics arbitrarily decide is NOT good enough, no matter what they do, will get the short end of the stick; like the Kinks do.

So much of the Stones' catalogue (much as I love 'em) is really soft and sop...

@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.

@0PERAT0RPLEASE It's John 'Nobby' Dalton. Sunny Afternoon was released after Pete Quaife had an accident which put him out of commission till, if I remember correctly, '67.

To get away from Davies-Hynde, here's a Mick Avory question - when did he change his left-hand grip from the trad style? Anyone know?

The first time I saw this video, I was wondering why Dave (in particular) and Pete and Ray kinda look like their undies are too tight or something...Then it hit me - this is supposed to be a lazy lament, and they're trying to keep their faces straight (with only limited success).

That whole aspec...

Much as I love the Stooges, I sorta agree with the general idea that Machine Gun is going for. Before Iggy became a phenomenon, the Stooges were the MC5's 'little brother band' (something alluded to in quite a few histories)..."

I can see why he would be skeptical.

But, the MC5 and Stooges were e...

I totally agree about it being a tight little jam...

Any Television fans here? Does this sound UNcannily like Oh Mi Amore, or what ('course, Tom Verlaine would probably have had no way of knowing...)

I love that weird, connection.

God save the Kinks.

Just one more thing about this video - Pete Quaife's reaction to being presented that... (is it a goblet? Small trophy?) prize (6:05) was awesome (and apparently Mick Avory agreed).

@Les5146 Perhaps I should've been clearer - I was referring to the "mix" as the sound in the front of the house, not the studio process.

@fumetti It's actually supposed to be Dave that yells it. According to Ray Davies, it was just before the solo began, while holding that C (?) chord...before the rest of the band enters. Ray tried to overdub it by screaming "Oh no", but he says that you can still hear it, and that bothers him. I,...
