Song of the Day (237): Lola – The Kinks 

Song of the Day (237) - Lola by The Kinks

Boy meets girl in a Soho club. Or does he? And what does it matter? 

In 1970, I was 12 years old living a sheltered life and then I heard this song on the radio. I put it on a cassette tape (anyone else remember recording songs off the radio?). Music was opening the world or should I say, it was cracking open my mind like opening a clam.  

Girls will be boys and boys will be girls 
It’s a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world, except for Lola 
La-la-la-la Lola 

It’s a fun story. It’s a love story as old as us humans. I am grateful for the Kinks for prying open a closed mind. It is all about love.
