Classic Reactions Ep.6: The Kinks - you really got me 🔥🔥

Some site you really got me as the first punk rock song. I personally agree with that. What's not to like about this song

#THG... You Really Got Me Going!!! And yes, Van Halen covered this song, and it was a big hit for them, and was all over the radio back then. The electric guitar was invented in 1932, and was adopted by jazz guitar players, who wanted to play single-note guitar solos in large big band ensembles. One of the early proponents of the electric guitar on record was Les Paul, and the early ones were hollow-body, solid body guitars came later.

A true classic. I know you probably figured out that Van Halen covered it on their debut album, also a classic!

Ha Ha Ha, your faces when the dancing girls came on at the end of the original video made me laugh out loud! The Kinks were very influential, but were not a big part of the British invasion because they got banned in the USA. You have likely heard some of their songs like Lola, Destroyer, Father Christmas (I love this one) Come Dancing, and maybe I wanna be like Superman. They have many lesser known tracks that influenced others. The electric guitar was invented for jazz in 1931? Check out Big Momma Thornton playing electric guitar in 1937. It was 1950 or so when the first mass produced electric guitars came out (i think Gibson and Fender were first?) Now you know where distorted guitars came from, he got that sound by slashing his amp speakers with a razor. Thanks for reacting! ☕️☕️☕️☕️
