Ray used to sing 'mucked up' or 'fucked up' , instead of 'muddled up' sometimes. Just for a change. In fact, I don't think I heard 'muddled up' in the various times that I saw them, or just Ray, live.

@Dr. Krieger Such a great line. As a kid, I heard it as though Lola was also glad that the singer was a man. Then later, when my friend told me what it was about, I heard it the other way -- Lola is also a man. I think that is incredibly clever, although, as they said in "Spinal Tap', it's a fine line between clever and stupid. ;-)

Lola is an awesome song. The main outrage was the use of the brand "Coca-Cola" the company wasn't happy with them using it, so they changed it to "Cherry-Cola". Good to see this version used the original lyric.

I grew up in the 70's and remember this song well. Didn't quite understand the lyrics as a 6-year old...but I loved the melody and energy of this song. I named my yorkie Lola after this song. Whenever she heard it on the radio, she would perk her ears up.
