There are a number of clips on U tube of Americans reacting to this song. In this clip the mother does not get it, the daughter does just watch her eyes. Song is from 1970.
I remember the first ' Lola ' I ever saw was in early 1970s.walking around downtown Atlanta. My friend and I were looking in bars for our husbands. Unaware we walked into a gay bar and a ' woman ' walked up to us talking. We were both PG aka pregnant at the time. Brenda looked at me and said we are not in a regular, bar she has a male sex organ, only she didn't call it that. I like the Kinks, they sing one of my favorite political songs.
"Well I'm not the world's most masculine man But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man And so is Lola" How can you not get that???
