Music Monday: “Lola” by The Kinks
Posted By RichC on January 8, 2024
Took a screenshot of my iPhone’s Sirius XM app last month while listening to an old Casey Kasem‘s American Top 40 countdown on the 70’s channel.
There’s always something that catches my ear on the weekends when it comes to 1970s songs and thought it was a good choice for Music Monday.
The song was released as a single in the UK in June 1970 by The Kinks and released a bit later in that same month in the U.S. According to Wikipedia, “Lola“ reached number two on the UK Singles Chart and number nine on the Billboard Hot 100.

It has become one of the Kinks’ most popular songs and was ranked number 386 on Rolling Stone’s 2021 edition of its “The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time” list. “Lola” was also ranked number 473 on NME’s own “The 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time” list.
