One of the best songs that Kinks ever wrote; "The day they put down the party that's when my childhood died..."-Great Line Mikey, faved and 5*****stars!
Another Saturday, another date She would be ready but she's always make them wait In the hallway, in anticipation He didn't know the night would end up in frustration He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek Come dancing That's how they did it when I was just a kid And when they said "come dancing" My sister always did
The more i listen to the Kinks the more i love there music, its always original and from the heart....
Love this song, love the Kinks and I love the story behind this song about Ray's sister
A Fun and Great song. Everyone 🎉Come Dancing🎉
Quality tune from the best era EVER in music.
My mom loved this song
This reminds me of the time Thames tv used to play music videos or cartoons in between the programmes
So glad i'm 48 and not 18. I got to experience what it was to be a true Brit when we all looked out for each other and there was no other side.
The Lead guitar player I follow him on Facebook he’s my favorite guitarist, so was Angus Young
Yeah!Dave Davies,Rays broth. Total Legend! But underrated
Makes me smile
One of my 80's Favourite's:)
I heard Ray wrote this for his older sister who died whilst taking him out for his birthday, very sad!
"My sister went there on a Saturday" Priceless!
Great song..
My 80s wow
Yay 🎉Love this song ! British Invasion ! ❤ Dedicate this song to Little Sister 😊 ! Katy

Another Saturday, another date
She would be ready but she's always make them wait
In the hallway, in anticipation
He didn't know the night would end up in frustration
He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week
All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek
Come dancing
That's how they did it when I was just a kid
And when they said "come dancing"
My sister always did
for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek.that really reminds me of the 80s
@mahones64 Those dancers, and also the ones on the old American Band Stand, were hired dancers.
Reminds me of Modern Romance.
"The day they knocked down the Palais"
That's for sure! it's been going thru my non-existient brain, day & night, for twenty six years....
Oddly the kinks wrote a song called top of the pops 😆😃
Too bad they're not playing live
Is a young Elton on keys
