They were such a great underrated band, only recently receiving some decent and well deserved recognition. Their songs have a distinctive style that always get me moving. How can anyone not love the Kink’s music.🎶❤️🎶

My favorite song in my early high scholl years

[paulrodriguez]

Greatest riff of all time. Saw the Kinks on this tour…fantastic band and show!

[SSArt]

Their song, "Apeman" has a great riff and, killer lyrics that are very relevant in 2023 as they were 53 years ago!

[precioussilver]

Excellent song!! I love it! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[SirGnomes]

This has been my favourite song for about 2 years now

[wolfman]

Probably one of the most underrated bands of all time

[drsauce]

Great band...Davies turns 80 on 6/21. My b-day also.

[allisonlangford]

Yes children, this is what real talent looks like….

[danielkelley]

Muslim will Hillbillies is one of my favorite albums all times 1971 the same year as so many other great albums. Look it up it will blow your mind how many great albums came out in 1971

Props to the Kinks for bringing this song forth, but I’m partial to Van Halen’s version

[raulhuertasgomez]

De verdad me has atrapado los sensacionales Kingston de la vieja ola inglesa. 😮

[carstenbornscheuer]

Tooootal Fett, irgendwie relaxt, sie waren ihrer Zeit weit voraus. Eins der genialen Riffs der Rock Geschichte.

[eskenazibeth]

Great fucking song, great fucking band; Ray Davies and Dave Davies were brilliant ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[coololdluke]

The first song every garage band learned in the 70s

[jorgefiguerola]

After decades, on and off, hearing You Really Got Me, I always felt it was too short music and lyrics. Does there exist an extended version with an intro and maybe outro? Recall Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad and Devil Road by Derek and the Dominoes. Excellent. Here, in, Daljas, I was at a club where a band from Houston called Pirate Radio did Do Ya Think I'm Sexy by Rod Stewart, but extended. Better than RS.

What do you think?

Peace

no band has ever captured what a guy feels when he has a crush on some hot young girl as the Kinks have here.

[simonlamphee]

Its so good that even VAN HALEN to cover it

[patrickcollins]

Seen the Kinks live a couple of times. In their later years, they always introduced this as...
We are going to do an old Van Halen song
