Originally released on 4th August 1964, the band's 3rd single You Really Got Me went to number 1 on the UK singles chart and later in the year to number 7 in the US charts. The track is taken from the Kinks self-titled album "Kinks" released in the same year, which also features tracks including All Day And All Of The Night.
Lyrics:
Girl, you really got me goin'
You got me so I don't know what I'm doin'
Yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night
Yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I don't know what I'm doin', now
Oh yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night
You Really Got Me
You Really Got Me
You Really Got Me
See, don't ever set me free
I always wanna be by your side
Girl, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night
Yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I don't know what I'm doin', now
Oh yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night
You Really Got Me
You Really Got Me
You Really Got Me
Oh no...
[Solo]
See, don't ever set me free
I always wanna be by your side
Girl, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night
Yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I don't know what I'm doin', now
Oh yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night
You Really Got Me
You Really Got Me

They were banned from the US for years because they refused to change the lyrics of Lola. That and union issues…

@@chipsterb4946 Not true. They were banned in late 1965 for union issues relating to showing up late for shows, on stage fights and Ray reportedly clocking a reporter. The ban was lifted in 1970 and the Kinks came back to the charts with LOLA and Apeman from the Lola Vs Powerman lp!

[@peterstill5010]

Anon San Imho it's because they had to listen to the American music and reggae etc. and work out how to do something similar themselves, without a record label pr system to shoehorn them into a mould. Made them inventive - took a razor blade to their speakers to get the rough sound etc. I think Britain and Ireland really had the best rock and roll for this reason - the bands were so individual!

[@user-tb2wz1tr8y]

You all are way ahead of me. In my 40s and bought into the popular music my friends liked, as a teen. Not that it was all bad. It wasn't until I was in my 20s that I realized my parents, grandparents, knew what the hell they were talking about with music. Now I go as far back as the 1920s. I think as you get older, you explore now. So if you're already hitting the decades you mention, I can only imagine the size of your catalogue by the time you're in your 40s.

The Kinks is one of the most underrated bands ever.

[@senorplatano7271]

Dan 123 not really this is the only good song on their first album

[@007JHS]

The Beatles and the Stones were the top bands of the era....BUT!... I think for composition, music and cutting social comment... For me the Kinks were by far the best.... In short... I agree with you.

[@felixmadison5736]

That's Rock 'N' Roll baby!!!!! I was 15 years-young in 1964 and I'll never forget the first time I heard this song on the radio!!! Made me a Kinks fan for life and my friend and I in high school took them over the Beatles in a heart beat!!! This song has been covered by more than 75 bands since 1964 Kinks version! The guitar riff was the best I had heard from ANY British band during the 'British Invasion'! After this it was "All Day And All of The Night', and I was hooked!!!! The Kinks were 'Thee Bad Ass Band' from across the pond!!

[@Envee-zv5ek]

Probably my all time favourite song. How can a 60 year old song still sound completely fresh? The simplicity, the energy, that killer riff, just WOW! 🤩
