Yet another comment by someone who's too young to understand the English language. The Kinks have NEVER been underrated. On the contrary, they've always been very HIGHLY rated. What you actually mean is "None of my friends or other people of my age group seem to have heard of them, but I have coz I'm really clued up."

I went on the forums, and the consensus is: Ray lifted it (the riff). It IS Jumping Jack Flash. If you were a guitar player, you'd know. People try to say it's inverted, or some other nonsense, but it's not. Speed and key don't matter. It was a goof; a spoof. That's just how clever Ray Davies is.

In late 70s, America was really struggling. I lived it. Quite honestly, what is happening today is probably a bit worse and VERY similar. This song by Davies, a Brit, couldn't have been more spot on. Truly wonder what he thinks today of what is happening here. The West is in decline. Just like back then.

@christopherprim19733 ай бұрын
It IS Jumpin Jack Flash, and it's a transition riff, not the opener. Don't know how it made it into a Kinks song, but someone ask Ray if he wrote it and gave it to The Stones, or he put it on tape, called Mick up, and said 'Hey, can I use this?'. They all knew each other. I never heard anyone ask Ray about it, but I cued it up today just to make sure it's J.J. Flash. This is a helluva piece of writing, with the song sections and the changes. This is Kinks 15 years in or something. Mature stage. Ray would occasionally insert Beatles and Stones references in songs, so he could just be quoting Mick and Keef, then again, he was more prolific than most, so he wrote songs other people covered that he didn't even record. Maybe it's a Dave Riff. SOMEBODY ASK HIM WHILE HE'S STILL ON THE PLANET!!
