Lola


One of the best songs ever written?

Written by Ray Davies and performed by The Kinks, it details a romantic encounter between a man and a transvestite he meets in a Soho club. The song originally contained a reference to "Coca Cola", but the BBC refused to play it as this was considered a violation of their advertising policy. The single then had to be hastily re-recorded with the offending line changed to "cherry cola".
