"You Really Got Me"
Opening Lines: Girl, you really got me goin', You got me so I don't know what I'm doin'.
Comments: The Kinks are a British band, that during the years 1964 - 1965 were competing well with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones in Great Britian, but had only modest success in the States at that time. But the Kinks, or more specifically lead singer (and the writer for most of their tunes), Ray Davies (who would continue to lead the group amid several line-up changes), would continue to have chart success in both Britain and the United States and worldwide well into the 1980's (with such hits as "Lola" & "Come Dancing"). Unfortunately the Kinks have been one of those rare groups, that despite having chart success, have yet to have a #1 song on Billboard Magazine's HOT 100 charts. "You Really Got Me", originally released in August 1964 and having success in both the States and Britain, has been covered by many artists over the years, with probably the most well-known and recognizable one (at least to Classic Rock station listeners) being Van Halen's 1978 version that didn't change a thing with the lyrics.

"Come Dancing"
The Lyrics: The day they knocked down the palley,
my sister stood and cried. The day they knocked down the palley, part of my childhood died, just died. Why: Looking back on how things have changed can be depressing.

| "Low Budget"
The Lyrics: "Were all on our uppers, were all going skint. I used to smoke cigar's, but now I suck Polo mint's"
Why: The Kinks enjoy'd a mini-revival of sorts round about this time, and used the material Ray Davies had written about the economic sinkhole that was the average British citizen's plight, and launched a pretty profitable "Give The People What They Want" tour. Ironic
