The Kinks - Come Dancing

Here's a class Kinks track from the early 80s (I know! Who'd have thunk it). It's a reminiscence of watching an elder sister go out to the Palais...

Another saturday, another date.
She would be ready but shes always make them wait.
In the hallway, in anticipation,
He didnt know the night would end up in frustration.
Hed end up blowing all his wages for the week
All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek.
...and remarks on how things have changed. It's brilliant. When I listen to the Kinks I can hear Morrissey and the Smiths, and even the Arctic Monkeys. This Rolling Stone review sums it up well.

Ray Davies is still writing and touring and released another solo album in 2007.
