You should probably pick it up before that, but it's a story about their manager not realising he was hooking up with a transexual, so I guess some people don't pick up the signals.
I grew up with the music from the British Invasion & The Mersybeat. The Kinks were huge & had a lot of hits. I especially love their music from the 60's & 70's. "You Really Got Me", "All Day & All Of The Night", "Set Me Free", "Tired Of Waiting For You", "A Well Respected Man", "Dedicated Follower Of Fashion", "Sunny Afternoon", "Dead End Street", "Waterloo Sunset", "Autumn Almanac", "Come Dancing" etc.
There are clues throughout including two before the one you referenced: [1] "I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola," and [2] "But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine"
Check out the lyrics ---------> I met her in a club down in old Soho Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry cola C-O-L-A, cola She walked up to me and she asked me to dance I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola L-O-L-A, Lola La-la-la-la Lola Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine Oh my Lola La-la-la-la Lola Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand Why she walk like a woman and talk like a man Oh my Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola Well, we drank champagne and danced all night Under electric candle light She picked me up and sat me on her knee And said dear boy, won't you come home with me? Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy But when I looked in her eyes what I almost felt for my Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola I pushed her away I walked to the door, I fell to the floor I got down on my knees And I looked at her and she at me That's the way that I want it to stay And I always want it to be that way for my Lola La-la-la-la Lola Girls will be boys and boys will be girls It's a mixed up muddle In a shaken up world Except for Lola La-la-la-la Lola Well, I left her just a week before And I'd never ever kissed a woman before Lola smiled and took me by the hand And said dear boy, I'm gonna make you a men Well, I'm not the world's most masculine man But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man so is Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola
One of the big groups of the 70s "A Well Respected Man" was my favorite "waterloo Sunset" "A Dedicated Follower Of Fashion" "You Really Got Me" "Sunny Afternoon" "All Day And All Of The Night" that's just to get you started on their hits.
@@AngelDReacts Thank you. It goes along the lines of Lola. In fact Ray Davies (singer/song writer of Lola) Took Candy Darling. out to dinner one night. (Lou mentions Candy in Walk On The Wild Side) Yes, Ray is straight and he knew Candy was a man. They just did it because Candy was a muse of Andy Warhol. Andy was an artist that knew many famous musicians, elites and VIPs.
the original lyric was Coca Cola until the Coca Cola company threatened a law suit so they had to change it as Coke did like the subject nature of the song
The line "Well I'm not the world's most masculine man but I know what I am and I I'm glad I'm a man, but so is Lola." That was the bombshell line.
You should probably pick it up before that, but it's a story about their manager not realising he was hooking up with a transexual, so I guess some people don't pick up the signals.
This is a true story. It happened to the Kinks manager while he was in a club in Paris. Listen to the lyrics once again, you'll get the picture.

You didn’t pick up on the first clue , walk’s like a woman but talks like a man
There are clues throughout including two before the one you referenced: [1] "I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola," and [2] "But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine"
I'm often surprised that some people are surprised that there were cross dressers and female impersonators way back in the '70s.
There are clues all through the song.
Weird Al does a great parody of this one called "Yoda"
Check out the lyrics ---------> I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry cola
C-O-L-A, cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
L-O-L-A, Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walk like a woman and talk like a man
Oh my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Well, we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candle light
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said dear boy, won't you come home with me?
Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes what I almost felt for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
I pushed her away
I walked to the door, I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
And I looked at her and she at me
That's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddle
In a shaken up world
Except for Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Well, I left her just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
Lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said dear boy, I'm gonna make you a men
Well, I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man so is Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
hehehe "But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
And so is Lola"
One of the big groups of the 70s "A Well Respected Man" was my favorite "waterloo Sunset" "A Dedicated Follower Of Fashion" "You Really Got Me" "Sunny Afternoon" "All Day And All Of The Night" that's just to get you started on their hits.
Next try Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side" 🙂
I enjoyed that one, Angel. The look you had at the end was priceless. Great reaction, Angel. Im watching it again
My favourite Kinks song is "Come Dancing"
What about I'm An Ape Man ?
How bout the song that started it all for the Kinks ? You Really Got Me ?
When I was a kid, a Lola was a triangular shaped frozen slushie treat. They were wrapped in a paper pouch that you ripped open from the top :)
Since the Season's upon us, a fun Kinks song to check out would be "Father Christmas".
7:53 "So is Lola".
It’s a true story the Kinks manager was in a club and being chatted up by this woman who he later realised was a Trans ….
If you look closely, you'll notice the keyboard player is not plugged in... well, the keyboard's not, I can't speak for the player!
Angel. Waterloo sunset. One of the Kinks best!
I didn't catch any of the references or put it together the first time I heard it either 👍😂
It wasn't easy, but the ending helped lol
Great song and reaction
Request: Some Chappell Roan
"Red Wine Supernova" (Magician's Cut) video or "Casual" (Official Music Video)
🤣
When he sings and says im a man and glad to be a man and so is Lola. That should explain it all lol
I pieced it all together but doing reactions... you have to be careful what you say and God forbid..say something wrong lol
Angel D. I bought my first guitar amp from there bass player, when he owned a music shop!
He wondered why she looked like a lady and talked like a man! Because she was a man! Great reaction sweet Angel! ;-)
You like story songs ? Please react to Lou Reed's Walk On The Wild Side. The people he mentions are real people he used to hang out with. RIP Lou.
I love the story telling songs and I will check that one out, thank you xo

Lola is a man
Yes Lola is a man!
Oh ya this song was waaay ahead of its time Just needs a rainbow flag on stage
the original lyric was Coca Cola until the Coca Cola company threatened a law suit so they had to change it as Coke did like the subject nature of the song
Good song but I prefer the yoda version…
Lola's not a she ??????????????
Lola is a Cross Dresser
Hon, Lola is a guy.
