The song details a romantic encounter between a young man and a possible transvestite he meets in a club in Soho, London, with the narrator describing his confusion towards a person named Lola who "walked like a woman and talked like a man". Although Ray Davies claims that the incident was inspired by a true encounter experienced by the band's manager, alternate explanations for the song's true meaning have been spread by fans and drummer Mick Avory. Released in June 1970, in the UK on the 12th and in the USA on the 28th, the single reached #2 in the UK charts[2] and #9 in the US.[3] However, due to its controversial subject matter, the single received backlash and even bans from some groups. Despite this, the track has since become one of The Kinks' most iconic and popular songs, later being ranked 422nd on the List of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[4] Since its release, "Lola" has appeared on multiple compilation and live albums. In 1980, a live version of the song from the album One for the Road was released as a single in America and some European countries, becoming a minor hit. Other versions include live renditions from 1972's Everybody's in Show-Biz and 1996's To the Bone. The "Lola" character also made an appearance in the lyrics of the band's 1981 song, "Destroyer". Ray Davies has claimed that he was inspired to write "Lola" after the band manager Robert Wace had spent a night in Paris dancing with a transvestite.[6] Davies said, "In his apartment, Robert had been dancing with this black woman, and he said, 'I'm really onto a thing here.' And it was okay until we left at six in the morning and then I said, 'Have you seen the stubble?' He said 'Yeah,' but he was too pissed [intoxicated] to care, I think."[7] Drummer Mick Avory has offered an alternate explanation for the song's lyrics, claiming that "Lola" was partially inspired by Avory's frequenting of transvestite bars in west London after being invited by publicist Michael McGrath.[8] Avory said, "We used to know this character called Michael McGrath. He used to hound the group a bit, because being called The Kinks did attract these sorts of people. He used to come down to Top of the Pops, and he was publicist for John Stephen's shop in Carnaby Street. He used to have this place in Earl's Court, and he used to invite me to all these drag queen acts and transsexual pubs. They were like secret clubs. And that's where Ray [Davies] got the idea for 'Lola.' When he was invited too, he wrote it while I was getting drunk."[5] Despite claims that the song was written about a supposed date between Ray Davies and trans woman actress Candy Darling, Davies has since claimed this rumor to be false. He said on the topic, "I didn't have a date with Candy Darling. We just went out to dinner. I knew it was a drag act."[5]
