"Dedicated Follower Of Fashion" #36 6/18/1966

Another Kinks record that was a Top 5 hit in the UK but barely cracked the Top 40 here. These guys just loved to skewer the British upper crust. Ray Davies wrote it after getting into a fistfight with a fashion designer at a party, as the song lampoons trendiness and the fear of being uncool. Needless to say, this didn't do much to endear the band with that crowd. Ray's delivery of the lyrics is hilarious.
