@Jake Cooper, Can you believe that the refrain actually changes pronunciation through the song. At 32 seconds, I clearly hear Lo-lo-lo-lo-Lola, and then at 51 seconds I hear La-la-la-la-Lola. There are 20 more versions of the line, and some lean a lot heavier to Lo, and others to La, which actually really works for the song and I didn’t appreciate before listening to it a half-dozen times with new ears. Perhaps in this instance, everyone on the internet is both right and wrong (like that dress from a few years ago). PS, this isn’t the first time I had to listen to the song again. We named our Cavoodle (as we call King Charles Cavalier/Poodle crosses in Australia) Lola after the Kinks song. Then one day my kids happened across a lost dog which was the spitting image of ours, with the same name on its collar, but was a boy (not a girl like our own). This confused the kids a bit, so we asked why it was named so as we returned it, and were told it was from the Kink’s song. Of course, we promptly went back and listened to the song again, and now realise there is more going on in that song than a catchy refrain.
@Puzzlemucker Just did that puzzle. Won’t give me the song, so maybe I’m missing the right rebus and I don’t know how to complete, but I think it is how the puzzle “fools” you.
