I just want to say 'THANK YOU' to everyone who has viewed this video. By my standards, it is a lot! I am really grateful, and I hope you will keep watching Great Western! There will be more classic rock and pop from the 60s to the 90s, along with classic TV reviews. Please consider Liking and Subscribing - thank you.

Enjoyed that, thank you. I also came up in the early 80’s, and I THINK I first became aware of the Kinks from this song and video, but there was always the vague idea that they had already existed long ago, in a galaxy far far away. They also used to daringly sing Lola in the schoolyard during gym class, but I’m not sure I realized it was the same group. Probably heard You Really Got Me later. It’s weird experiencing things out of order.

Great memories, thank you. I didn't hear this song at the time, but heard it around '97. The Kinks were always 'there' somewhere. The 1980s were particularly full of 60s nostalgia...not that The Kinks were ready for the nostalgia circuit at this point! Come Dancing I do remember as I think it was much bigger in the UK than Do It Again.

Thanks for your comment! The Kinks are not given enough credit for their ability to create brilliant material over a 30-year career. All the focus is on the 60s, and songs like Do It Again are passed over.

I am indebted to my good friend (and massive Kinks fan!) Alan for the following insights: The character I rather unkindly called a 'spiv' in this video is, of course, one of three appearances of this character, from Come Dancing and Don't Forget to Dance from State of Confusion, all the way to Do It Again. It is probably Ray's impersonation of his beloved Uncle Arthur as he would have appeared in the 1940s. Married to Ray's sister Rosie, Arthur was a man who was ground down by the system. Perhaps Busker Ray's terror comes from not wanting to end up a like Arthur? Do check out Alan's channel and his blog for many more fascinating insights into the Golden Age of rock!
