Lola

[Kuciwalker]

This song disturbs me. Particularly this line:

Well I'm not the worlds most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
And so is Lola

Especially since I always heard that as "and in bed I'm a man, so is Lola"

[Japher]

"she walked like a woman
but talked like a man"

[Qilue]

While I may have said this before, but Wikipedia is an amazing resource.

Lola IS a tranvestite!!!!!!!!!

[Kuciwalker]

I thought s/he was a transsexual :/

quote:
Well I'm not the worlds most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
And so is Lola

= Lola is also glad he's a man

I don't see what's so disturbing about it.

According to Wikipedia, everyone has at one time or another been a homosexual and/or transvestite - or at least given it serious consideration..

[Zkribbler]

And from the same album:

In man's evil-ution,
He's created the city
And the motor traffic rumble,

But give me half a chance,
And I'll be takin' off me clothes
And living in the jungle.

I'm an ape man, I'm an ape-ape man,
I'm an ape man!

[Dauphin]

Protect the village green!

[duke o' york]

And the village commie!

[Tattila the Hun]

Humanity continues to amuse me...

[Drake Tungsten]

Kuci has kept the kinkiness going

[Japher]

would you expect anything less?

Actually, in her film Morocco, Marlene Dietrich performs dressed in men's clothes at a night club, and even kisses a girl on the lips on film, an act unheard of in the 1930s.



To this, we should also add that the character she is best known for is Lola, from the Blue Angel. The song could very well be an allusion to this famous actress, especially given the Kink's propensity for lyrics about movies.
