One of my favourite Kinks tracks that. There are many TBH. Was listening to Laura Nyro last night, what an underrated song writer.
I got their Ultimate Collection double CD recently. Bloody marvellous! And a steal at a fiver. Fifty years on, and the lyrics to "Apeman" could have been written this morning... "I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized 'Cause I'm a strict vegetarian But with the over-population and inflation and starvation And the crazy politicians I don't feel safe in this world no more I don't want to die in a nuclear war I want to sail away to a distant shore And make like an Apeman"
Brilliant. Its a shame I only saw them live once & they seemed to be having a bit of an off night. The two brothers relationship was somewhat fractious. They played at the T&C in Leeds.
ITs addictive as ****, I watched the film a fortnight ago and I still have it in my head Have you seen my baby have you seen my sugar...
O/T but Peter Kay’s voice doesn’t sound too shabby on here On a serious note one ithe best versions of this old classic I’ve ever heard .
