These songs are from Give the People What They Want by The Kinks. In my opinion, it's one of the best albums the Kinks ever made, and one of the best albums of the 80s.

Love this cover of an excellent Duran Duran song by the deftones.

Oh Chrissie Hynde, one of the great female voices in rock... she should have been a giant.

And this is her take on a great Kinks song - recoreded, i guess, while she and ray Davies were lovers.

When you hear her songs you wanna totally fuck her. When you look at the album cover not so much anymore.

The song Lola by The Kinks

"The song details a romantic encounter between a young man and a possible transvestite or transgender person he meets in a club in Soho, London, with the narrator describing his confusion towards a person named Lola who "walked like a woman and talked like a man".

In the book The Kinks: The Official Biography, Davies said that he was inspired to write this song after the band manager Robert Wace had spent the night dancing with a transvestite. Davies said,

“ In his apartment, Robert had been dancing with this black woman, and he said, 'I'm really onto a thing here.' And it was okay until we left at six in the morning and then I said, 'Have you seen the stubble?' He said 'Yeah,' but he was too pissed [intoxicated] to care, I think."
