And the Enormous Tits kept slapping my back. If you close your eyes like this, you can hear me harmonizing ... Enormous Titties Slapping My Back ...

In my experience...whenever I have had enormous tits slapping my back at a Kinks concert, the chicks have usually been really fat and ugly, hence distracting from one of the greatest bands in history and totally blowing the ambience of the entire evening :^ /

An ode to naughtiness while alone?

The Burden

I carry this weight
like two trollops dangling from a cord
wrapped around my waist,
two sloe-eyed gamblers
pulling me to the races,
reckless, breathless, demanding
release from their cloth cage.

We three are ultimately alone
with our arguments, this tag-team of hoodlums
versus my concentration.
The distractions are clockwork—
the second hand sweeps the soft terrain
while only five fingers remain free to type,
each hand separate yet in constant exploration,
one by touch
the other by temperament.
(My sangfroid here is feigned.
Touch me now I tremble.)

Might my tumescence ever become an ethereal expansion,
elevate to a plane beyond mere biological mechanisms,
mere animal husbandry?
Not in the presence of this effervescent duo,
I doubt.
They always drag me back.
I am 2/3 horse, one part man.
Two against one.
My essence distilled fills my hands.

This live version of The Kinks almost sounds like an answer to Van Halen's version. I like the garage sound of the original best. The Kinks / Ray Davies were always masters of (typically English?) understatement and irony and not so much this overblown arena rock, IMO.

Posted 12 years ago by Johray63 [ Reply ]

Saw Kinks in early 80 at LA Amphitheatre. They kept teasing the crowd with the opening rifts of this all night and then knocked it out of the park. I was sitting in last room for warm up band ToTo. A couple came up the ailse after the warm up and asked if I wanted thier tickets. They sais if was closer than mine. They were right 10th row dead centre.

I saw the Kinks in an outdoor amphiteatre in the 80s and I remember it being incredibly loud. We took a bio break then didn't go back to our seats and sat on the lawn and enjoyed it more. Yeah, I know, wimpy. Fortunately the mounted police had earmuffs on the horses.

A jetplane taking off is like 120-140dB. The human pain threshold is 110dB. So...i guess the Kinks had to pay a nice hospital bill for all their fans, cause nobody has ears that can withstand such noise, unless you wear some protection.

The Who made the Guinness Book of World Records for loudest concert for a show in London on May 31, 1976. The record was beaten several times before Guinness stopped listing it because too many people were losing their hearing.

I've always been a big fan of the Kinks and Ray Davies, but this song does nothing to showcase Ray's often brilliant songwriting. Maybe a decent cut to finish up a live show with a bang, but it's just a so-so song, and has run its course on FM over the years. Don't draw any conclusions about these guys from this song if you're not familiar with much of their other material... it's certainly not their best work, and with such a deep catalog to draw from, it's a shame a lot of their other, better stuff never got much airplay.
