OBAMA

I do believe that this song is about racism on both 'sides'. However I don't think Ray is being 'anti-black' as many first assume. I mean, he's inspired by artists like Big Bill Broonsy for goodness sake.

Made me think they knew Obama was coming...

Daniel Malito

Oh boy. It's a political comment on racism, a satire, it's not racist.

I totally rewrote this song and made it even more fucked up, offensive, and politically incorrect than this ,...and I still couldn't do it -

Whenever I tell someone my favorite band is The kinks they look at me like who?

I looked this up. They weren't banned forever.Following a mid-year tour (1964?) of the United States, the American Federation of Musicians refused permits for the group to appear in concerts there for the next four years, effectively cutting off The Kinks from the main market for rock music at the height of the British Invasion. Although neither The Kinks nor the union gave a specific reason for the ban, at the time it was widely attributed to their rowdy on-stage behaviour.

J'adore cette chanson !

I'm always torn over this song. On the one hand, it feels like the kind of satire you hear in Randy Newman's "Short People," on the other ...what else has he said about race? I'm really asking, not trying to make a rhetorical point. I just don't know. I do think it's to Ray's credit to make an ambiguous song like this.

These kinkys have sung about EVERYTHING..and are the commentators of our Times...Mental breakdowns.alcoholic..career collapse...Songs and royalties stolen...Sure beats Shakespeare for me any day.3 minutes of 21st century shiitzoid humans
