My husband passed 2 years ago, this song was one of his favorites. He would sing it out loud every chance he got! Usually with his drumsticks that had no drum!!! 💞🥰 Awesome memories!!!
What a wonderful, quintessential English band. Beautifully nostalgic for the simple family life: Picnics, rides to the countryside, balmy summer days, weekend dances. The eternal sweetness of childhood. Memories etched in the senses and heart. We love you, Ray Davies. Shine on.
I am sorry your brother is gone. But this a memory to cherish! My brother used to make up lyrics to awful Partridge Family Songs and sing them in the car. Not nearly the same thing, not even close. But I still enjoy the memory. I do regret not learning the guitar, just so I could have similar memories to yours. Or even just entertain my self. So happens that this is a favorite song of mine!.
Sadly died and now we left with talentless wonders who couldn't write a good song , sing without autotune or play an instrument together even if their lives depended upon it.
Such vivid commentary in just a few lines. Rich guy, living in a mansion, with a yacht, and a car and a girl. Basking in the sun, drinking beer...and still bitching about how rough he's got it.
@@Yamislittleangel55That's OK.... I was just being a "little cheeky" and KNEW what you actually meant....and, I love the song and have for a looong time. BHE
Notice how this song, Taxman by the Beatles and The Rolling Stones album Exile on Main St. are about British tax rates. The top rate was 95%!! Now THATS progressive! No wonder they all moved their business out of UK. Screw government.
You do know this song is literally mocking people who were saying the tax rate was too high. He says the taxmans taken everything while, he has a mansion, Yacht and can just sit about on sunny afternoon doing no work. Not just that our GDP growth was higher during this period than any point since, inequality was at it lowest point, wages were inclined with productivity unlike the stagnant wages we have had for decades and tax revenue although you claimed they all moved away due to it being too high, when the tax was lowered tax revenue also lowered their was no influx.
The Kinks never got the credit they deserve, their music rivaled that of all their contemporaries in every aspect.

I’m sorry. 🙏🏻🍃🌸🍃
Hey , Paul , where are you living , Lexington Park ?

Ohhh man...this brings soooo many great memories
Still a great song! I was 14 when it came out in '66.
I was thirteen.
I was 12, what a time that was!
I was 26 and had been married for six years when this song appeared.
Cool profile picture you got there.
I was thirteen living in Tijuana went to a public pool called Los Camacho ..with My friend Julio..we had wonderful Time., that Summer ❤
What a awesome song!! Today's music couldn't hold this musics jock strap..
The Kinks were fantastic. This song is sublime.
One of the great songs of the 60s
Ray Davies is one of the greatest songwriters of all time. There is no question
Thank you, Rosalinda, for getting it all right the whole way.
My 17 year old daughter introduced me to this lovely tune
Be proud of her haha
You raised her right ✅ 👏 🎵💃🎶
Wonderful and Nostalgic Like the Kinks
I always thought it was "blazing", and 'big fat mama' referred to a big joint (fatty)! Along with an ice cold beer, my favorite summer song!😀😍😊
SAME
😂
Just found out it's not and am in shock!
the words and melody just simply rock me!
Melancholic elegant ironic Song of a great band as Ray Davies and his Kinks. Fantastic poetic ode to a lazy Sunny afternoon..Wow
Yes a beautiful song on a beautiful sunny after sipping baileys with ice 👍💕
Actually, I prefer MY Baileys a little warmer. Which reminds me....I've had a bottle sitting in storage for quite some time........see ya!
Absolute cast iron classic. Where did the great songwriters go?
Richard Thompson is a great songwriter.
They died
gotta know where to look
Sadly died and now we left with talentless wonders who couldn't write a good song , sing without autotune or play an instrument together even if their lives depended upon it.
Absolutely awesome song
this was my auntys funeral song god i miss her
I LOVE THIS SONG and have been playing it all day!
Nothing better than when it gets stuck in your head.
@@fatlover007 ditto!!!
Moi aussi j'ai longtemps crû que c'était une chanson des Beatles 🙂🙂👍👍👍👍👍
About to pay my $16k tax bill online... lazing on a sunny afternoon. Have this video on loop and singing along in playful resignation.
Thank u for posting this Rosa, hope u have a lovely afternoon
I was 15 when this came out. I was just beginning to find out about British groups and loved The Kinks from the start!
I was 16
They are a very good band
Damn straight they are! Amazing, really.Did you learn about The Kinks through UA-cam?
Natasha Goldstein I found them on a 60’s radio channel
Yes
Blazing on a sunny afternoon
that’s what i always say! great minds think alike 😎🌳
Someone said to me "isn't that 'lazing'?" To which I replied, "Depends...you may be 'lazing, but I be blazing".
I used to DREAM of just having a "Sunny Afternoon"
Best we could manage was a partly-cloudy morning. But you know, we were happy in those days...
@@buckyball4556 the weather really xdoesnt matter, rather the frame of mind!!!💞
Here's a song that has held up over 50 years - not an easy feat.
❤ tune yo !! 🎉
"Sunny Afternoon".....guessing he wrote this song abroad.
Not for the last three months. Been like the costa del sol here in brum
No idea
Yes bro most definitely 👍
Nope they wrote the song in the U.K. whilst paying 99p in the pound tax. Hence the song.
@@richardmorrish its a joke
Legendarni Kinksi..Sunny Afternoon
Listened to the Kinks for hours as a teen and now again at 60yoa
This Chicano loves classic rock
Go dodger blue 💙
This a nice Song
@@makszbytniewski9145 nice does not quite cover it!!!
What a tune
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
Definition of Cruelty - Playing this song in West Scotland or Cornwall during August while eating a bowl of salad in Gibraltar.
For the longest time I thought this was a Beatles song. It has that vibe. . .
Bro got ignored for 2 years

The Kinks are epic!
Why are ALL lyrics videos so slow ?? The song is halfway through the line and THEN the lyrics appear
This song is the father song of “federal funding” by Cake! Holy shit!
This song is such a fucking vibe
Dad said he used to sing this on his guitar when he was younger. I can picture him doing that every time I hear this song
Just HOW does one sing ON a guitar?
@@blackholeentry3489 I didn’t mean it that way 😅 My bad!
@@Yamislittleangel55That's OK.... I was just being a "little cheeky" and KNEW what you actually meant....and, I love the song and have for a looong time. BHE
marvelous
Thank you for the days !

SAVE ME, SAVE ME, SAVE ME, FROM THIS SQUEEZE, I GOT A BIG FAT MOMMA TRYIN' BREAK ME!!!!!!!!

I love the kinks, till the 70s like what happened!
I LOVED IT 🥰😍🤩🤩🤣🌟👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🌤🌤🌤 Funny song and fresh ⛱️ 🍦
Eastenders den and angie watts bought me here. The original king and queen of the square
Sitting here skinning up & belting it out at the top of my lungs not giving a fuck about my downstairs neighbour....👹🤘
"I got a big, fat Mamma"? O.o
Love a big fat mamma, could"nt eat a whole one....
I hear " ice cooled beer".
Hahah blazing on a sunny afternoon!
It's exactly about my current situation with the Revenue Agency.
Dit liedisnog even mooi
I love the part about the GF 'telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty.'
They all sing from the same hymn sheet!
The Kinks can't sing a bad song!
after ''Taxman '' from the Beatles. But a little bit more ironic
Well it's just straight up mocking people who were complaining about high taxes
Notice how this song, Taxman by the Beatles and The Rolling Stones album Exile on Main St. are about British tax rates. The top rate was 95%!! Now THATS progressive! No wonder they all moved their business out of UK. Screw government.

'66 -- Should be called a classic.
This was the best time to be alive even though the devils danced amongst us.
Your lyrics are after the beat! >:(
exactly :) lyrics yes - karakoke no.
Best
Donovan vibes...?
i'm not being funny but on the first lazing he definetly says blazing
I really noticed that
maybe
same as me
Uve made my year 😂
No. I thinks he’s saying “grazing.”
Might be universal
Yes, this is the song, which Gorillaz used in Feel Good Inc (Windmill windmill…)
6 months left till sunny afternoons
Blazing not lazing
Not. Lazing is correct.
Lazing 👍
Blazing 👎
Self Immolating on a Sunny Afternoon
I honestly thought this was the Beatles
THE song
rip: ALEJANDRO
blazing*
Brandon Cook I also had that in mind. Ha ha
Same
Like si vienes por tarea
But te enamoras de la canción :u
Dedicated to the hedge fund shorts.
Uh ... next time put the words up BEFORE their sung ... (geez) ...
... "they're" ... (sic) ...
I dont need to listen to a 30 minute commercial to listen to a 3:30 song. Give me a break.
Someone on RuPaul's Drag Race could do a really campy drag routine to this. Love it!
That would be fabulous with a capital f.
Absolutely yes.
Dont ruin the song for god sake
Yes! Also... Lola 😀🤎🎵💄💅💋
gross groomers
This was the beginning of “the tax man”
He’s totally saying blazing not lazing wtf does that even mean
Replace sail my yacht with ride my Hog!
And then tgers us
The normal people
Big fat mummas is a spliff
Which I don't have either making me look even more normal
