How beautiful is this song? Bassist John Dalton brings the lowdown fat bottom, while Dave Davies proves for the everythingth time why he was so critical to the genius and longevity of The Kinks. He was the Carl Perkins to Ray Davies‘ Johnny Cash. Great harmonies and stinging, chugging guitar.

Also great is this shorter, but equally excellent video from 1977.
