Songs with Britishisms and British references

[urban genie]

A fee more local ones

Gods own city




And that town down the road that's alright for a pint nowadays



Burys finest anthem




Oh and an old un for the yonners ;-)




Not forgetting salford

 

[journolud]

Steel Pulse-Handsworth Revolution

 

[Bill Walker]

And Strawberry Fields Forever

 

[Bill Walker]

Every kinks song, up to muswell hillbillies, too many to list


Except this




Though it was about emigratiing from here so counts

Every Kinks song ?

You Really Got Me
Tired Of Waiting
Lola
All Day and All of the Night
Louie Louie
Till The End Of The Day
Sunny Afternoon
Im Not Like Everybody Else

Cant hear any British references in those ?

Homeward Bound - S & G (whilst it doesn't actually reference Widnes train station it is credited with the inspiration)

Every Kinks song ?

You Really Got Me
Tired Of Waiting
Lola
All Day and All of the Night
Louie Louie
Till The End Of The Day
Sunny Afternoon
Im Not Like Everybody Else

Cant hear any British references in those ?

You Really Got Me - was about a girl at club night in picadilly the original lyrics (unreleased referenced this)

Tired Of Waiting - cause is a Bristish bastardisation of the word because

Lola - "I met her in a club in old Soho"

All Day and All of the Night - I 'll give you that however the doors tried claiming it was copied from them and the british courts threw oit the casw so again linked to britishness in our juditial system

Louie Louie - not a kinks song but a cover ao doesn't count

Till The End Of The Day - I concede

Sunny Afternoon - Stately home a very british name for a mansion

Im Not Like Everybody Else - was written for American band the animals but when they didn't release it the kinks decided to so a rarity in that it isn't associated or influenced by English/British culture as it wasn't meant to be a kinks song

so my every song is probably 98- 99% right, I can admit I was off by a few
