😅 Right over his head.....almost thought he had there for a second. 😅

such a catchy mixed up, muddled up, shook up song 😉

This is the first time I've watched a reaction to the song where the person totally missed what it was about. 🤣🤣🤣

I'm an old lady now but I was a young teen when I first heard this song. Teenagers were pretty naive at that time and were not exposed to all the sexual ideas that young people are today. And yet, I got this straight away when I first heard it and I remember having a good laugh about it with my friends. I've wondered since if it was anything to do with our traditional pantomimes where the main comic character, the Dame, is always a cross-dresser. But why don't young Americans who react to this understand what is going on, even when they have been told to listen carefully to the lyrics? Is it because they just don't expect to discover that Lola is transgender in a pop song? Or are they just more innocent than we were all those years ago?

Yes, you need to listen to it again, and then you’ll completely understand it

This is from 1970 but The Kinks are a 60`s band in their essence.

The Beatles ,Stones, The Who, The Kinks plus many others all came out within about a 2 year period.

He has very expressive eyebrows. I wondered: “Will it be a *scrunch* or a *pop*?”🤔

It's like you're having a drink with your buddies and listening to one of their stories.

This will be one of my all time favorite songs... 'But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man ... And so is Lola..'

Maybe he will catch it on the rebound lol

Beatles and the Kinks were contemporaries. and both from England.

These songs always send me into time traveling to the 70s

Now you hace to follow it up with Lou Reed's Take a walk on the wild Side

They played a small gig in Springfield Illinois in 1965. The show was promoted by the local Jaycees. After the show the Vice President of the Jaycees invited the band to stay at his house. After a couple drinks a combination of the odd smell and the" bit of a shine", the Drunken host seemed to have on Dave Davies. The band got the hell out! The home belonged to John Wayne Gacey!! Just Google Kinks/ John Wayne Gacey it pops right up! A few years later Dave would write the song " Death of a Clown "!

Thanks, Ace.. supposedly a true story about a naive "roadie"... a great song, anyway... so MANY Kinks songs to explore... different genres.. they actually do my favorite holiday song "Father Christmas"...

They were contemporaries of the Beatles, Stones and The Who.... Ray Davies is a great song writer up there with the best. Waterloo Sunset is a gem.

Se walked like a woman and talked like a man. Don't you get it?

He walked like a woman and talked like a man LOLA ......

😂😂😂a certain way😂😂😂 like. Ahem, lola😂😂😂. He almost fell for lola

no one notices that normally you would say "a sweet dark voice" but it is sung "a sweet dark BROWN voice" something should be added to that as it certainly means something! maybe afro dude

This came out in the 70's without much fanfare, just kind of a little grin & smile.

I'm a man, so is Lola.

Lola was a man!

Swinging hit💥

Lol, almost got it Maybe he'll realize the 2nd or 3rd time Lmfao

The KINKs was banned from US states from 1965 to 1969 because of this song about "LOLA" the KINKS band was kicked out from US states by the USA Government.. 🇺🇲 THE COUNTRY OF FREEDOM 🇺🇲

The Kinks were from Britain 🇬🇧

Listen to the words carefully before arriving at any coclusions.

I get the Beatles vibe. Both groups from UK.

Although this was later in their career they were part of the British Invasion of the mid 60s

Apparently something like this really happened and they thought it was a fun topic.

Girls will be boys and boys will be girls...... Definitely relevant!!!

A world wide hit about a transvestite. Check out their song Apeman from the same album.

Love the kinks

released in 1970, this song was a kind of revelation of what was going to happen in the future, like now with the LPGLOWIQ (my dialect alphabeth) movement.. in the US this song was banned, a country with the biggest porn industrie then and now...

I know what I am, I know I'm a man...and so is Lola.

Wierd al does a parody of this its funny

Hey!! Good song choice, good review. You seem like a fun guy! By the way, is this song still relevant today as it was in the 70's? Maybe more? See ya again!

Did this go over your head? Did you catch that lola was a man?

You have to listen to Waterloo Sunset another Classic from Ray Davies.

You caught a few clues, but didn't get the full idea. "She walked up to me and she asked me to dance" In the "old" days, women would not ask a man to dance: men would do the asking. "I asked her her name in a dark brown voice she said Lola". Not a sweet feminine voice, but a dark brown voice. "I'm not the world's most physical guy, but when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine oh my Lola". "I'm not dumb but I can't understand why she walks like a woman but talks like a man oh my Lola." "She picked me up and sat me on her knee, said to me boy won't you come home with me". "I'm not the world's most masculine man, but I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man and so's Lola"

She is a man, im a hell of a man and so is Lola gives it away,

Ace the Heart, Lola is trans. It’s the story of a naive man’s encounter with a trans woman in a bar.

The kinks were compared to the Beatles , But the musicians and the singers for the kinks were always upset because they were compared to the Beatles, Now, It's interesting because Lola Is a trans , Lola Is a man🤔😯🙄😲😨😳😱So enjoy the rest of the song Hallelujah Sometimes Girls will be boys and boys will be girls We all know it's a mixed up world The song says God bless you In Jesus name

Your reaction is kind of forced and phoney since you missed the "twist" in the song.
