I was wondering recently what British parody song writer Daniel Bostock was up to lately. With the president visiting, May leaving , Brexit stalled and YouTube censorship in full swing, it seemed the world could use a good laugh at the left. Watch

Hit bound!
I loov the Kinks and THAT was fookin’ BRILLIANT.
The guy does a good Ray Davies! It also sounds just like a song he would have wrote.
Remembering Rays insightful song “There’s no England now”
He really got me. I could listen to that all day and all of the night.
…the Kinks were ahead of the curve on the whole “Trans” thing…if you look at the UNALTERED lyrics to “Lola”, Ray Davies must have met “Michelle” Obama in a Soho club back in the day, so “She’s” OLDER than “She” admits to, too…
“I met her in a club down in North 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 name and in a dark brown voice she said, “Lola”
L-O-L-A Lola, lo lo lo lo 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, lo lo lo lo 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, lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
Well, we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said, “Little 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
Well, I almost fell for my Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
Lola lo lo lo lo Lola lo lo lo lo Lola
I pushed her away, I walked to the door
I fell to the floor, I got down on my knees
I looked at her, and she at me
Well that’s the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola
Girls will be boys, and boys will be girls
It’s a mixed-up, muddled-up, shook-up world
Except for Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
Well I left home just a week before
And I’ve never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said, “Little boy, gonna make you a man”
Well I’m not the world’s most masculine man
But I know what I am and I’m glad I’m a man
And so is Lola”
-Ray Davies, “Lola”
Sunny afternoon was a hilarious song as well as accurate. One of my favorites by the Kinks.
