Of all the British Invasion bands the Kinks were the most British and stayed true to their roots unlike most of the other bands. It may have hurt their popularity in the US but not to this guy.
If The Kinks had not been banned from America for 4 years Ray Davies probably wouldn't have stayed so British and written The Village Green, that REM went looking for, but they were and he did.
They sure don't, and I'm pretty pissed off about it. Tell you what, though: I don't think Ray gives a hoot. He knows he's produced a body of brilliant work, deeply influential within the industry, and appreciated by those who really know quality when they hear it.

@@CapnMoarGain It hit me hard 47 years ago when I listened to my husband's albums, and today it still lifts my spirits a little--in 2025, God only knows. (The unintended slapstick of the video cheers me up--Ray opening his arms and the band members backing away from him, except for new band member "John the Baptist" in the ape suit, who appears to be the only one who has been given a script! Most likely drunk, he picks Ray up and I don't think that was planned!)
On the old WOLX in Madison Wisconsin during the 1990's it was played at night on some odd times or during a top 100 songs of 1970 when they did pick a year for the music to do for a day. This was before WOLX became a computer picking the songs with the former DJ using their dead/retired voices (they retired in 2000's sometime with the famous male passing away) to pitch the songs all but the newer stuff from the 1990's that is a younger guy who sounded like he is somewhere in his 40's at the oldest and even he sounded prerecorded from a different crappy station that used to do 1980 to now music until 2000 when it moved to 1990 to now as soon as the ball dropped and is as of 2010's gone when I was back stopping through on vacation.

They are most certainly not huge now and perhaps were big for a time but never get spoken of in a manner that people speak of the Stones or the Beatles or Zeppelin. Definitely underrated not appreciated as broadly as they should. The lyrics in this song are revealing too. Hearing these lyrics so long after they were written it’s spooky how relevant and how well it has aged.

My husband passed away Oct. 6th, 2023 and The Kinks was his all time favorite band. As our daughter and myself watched the Old Dads movie the ending song was Apeman. He turned 41 the year she was born. But I looked at her and said I think your dad is trying to tell us something, he's ok and trying to let us know that.
A few thumbs down tells me there are a handful of us that fell out of the tree and might be afraid to climb back up and give it another try. We'll be up here swinging.
they did, songs were actually unique back then. Don't get me wrong, some people still make genuinely good music today but even those get overshadowed by an endless flood of crap
As I sit here basking in golden sunshine, listening to this song, and using both my hands and feet to peel myself a fourth banana, I can sincerely believe that truer words have scarcely been sung or spoken.
I was living in Joshua Tree Forest as an Apeman Man. But now all around me are the City Lights of the AirBnbers Man. They are so sophisticated and educated man. Vroom vroom the motor traffic man.

In 1970 I had just come of age, which was still 21 years ago. A single cost 5 DM. My band were the Kinks and they were never boring in their titles. Every production was really different from the previous ones i appreciated that about the Kinks. They could sing anyway. Once my wife and i were in London after many years we wanted to go to the department shop Harrods. We wanted to buy something - just for fun - and what did we buy "a CD of the Kinks with all their hits". The bag from Harrods was kept like a treasure. I still have the CD today - the bag disappeared.

@@ernst2225 Thank you. I listened, and I like it. I do not understand the Spanish language so much, but I still like what they were doing. As far as the hairstyles, they were but a product of their era! Interesting enough band that I want to seek more of their recordings. Thanks again!
+Kim Tindell most underappreciated Rock band of all time ,imo,,,Great talented band,,,,,their arrangements were right up there with yes.even the Beatles!

+Matt James OK, you're right Ok, we all float on, the the Beatles are great, but not underrated at all, just maybe even a tad overrated ... if fact the Beatles had way more to do with the fall of the U.S.S.R. than any snot nosed altzimer president Reold Reagain., also known as "Ron of old Rayguns" who takes all the credit..... but as the Beat-Tells were very famous, and loved by everyone in all the great halls of the egg men,. the Kinks were the working class misfits that are pure genius!
I dedicate this song to my only son who moved to Maui two years ago, bravely! He's working hard and living his 20's on a beautiful island. I wish I had been more brave when I was younger so proud of him!
That's "John the Baptist" who is in the gorilla suit in the video and had to wear the head of the costume on stage! lol Ray and Dave hired one nephew to make sure he made it to the stage on time--Phil Palmer, author of "Session Man."
Just discovered this song yesterday and this song is probably one of my favorites now. One of the reasons i love this is because it reminds me of my grandfather, i love him and i hope to see him again someday.
This gem was released on the cusp of the Kinks' deep dive into prolonged obscurity, the era of Ray's Theatrical projects that the public simply didn't dig. A pity, because some great music is right there waiting to be re-discovered in their '70s output. 👏🏿
I love this song, its different from the norm, catchy and peaceful, and it makes me feel good. So much more interesting then modern day stuff. I picture an apeman living in paradise with no technology, yet very happy.

40 years or more onwards...and the lyrics seem even more relevant...a band totally ahead of their time. Kudos.
100% true hahah
Kevin Phyland it's making up for the fact that today's artists can't make relevent music for today so the kinks did it for them
If it seemed even more relevant 3 years ago it's really kicking ass in the relevancy department these days.

My favorite Kinks song this and Victoria
And strangers ✌️🇬🇧
In Mexico was hit around 1971
if this came out yesterday, it'd be more on point than 99% of what's happening musically today , it's still completely relevant
The Kinks are one of the greatest bands ever to come out of the U.K
Can't believe it's from 1970, sounds so fresh
Production is very good
great music is truly timeless
And strangely timely, too. Especially now.
Solid state is still trying to catch up to these vacuum tube recordings
Nah,it isnt compressed so it doesnt soynd fresh
Hands down the best lyrics on a song EVER.
They must have been psychic. This song is more relevant today. As a child I always loved it.
Not psychic. Just historically literate and able to observe and analyse trends. The Kinks were special, and that makes them great, but it also says something sad about art and humanity.

Not once in my life have I ever heard this played on a radio station. Most underrated album I can think of.
It was played all the time here in Aus

KSHE 95 in St. Louis, MO played it last night, and it was the first time I ever heard the song. That brought me here! Loved it!
There is something I've always loved about the Kinks, their songs tell a story
Listen to the whole Kinks album "The Village Green Preservation Society"... it will blow your mind.
Hey Lil Miss Cutie...I sing and play guitar in a rock band. Holler!
"I don't feel safe in this world no more!
