More Kinks trivia:
Ray and Dave Davies grew up in Fortis Green, Muswell Hill, North London.
Their family had a fun party in the parlor every Saturday night.
Dave had a sharp temper, and would often swing punches when he was in a bad mood.
The unusual dobro guitar used in the song Lola is made out of metal.
The song 'Sunny Afternoon' is about British politician Harold Wilson.
The concept pop-opera 'Arthur' is based on Ray's brother-in-law, Arthur.
Tom Robinson's cover of 'Tired of Waiting' was dedicated to Ray when contracts they were discussing stalled.
