"Sunny Afternoon" by The Kinks.
OK, girls and boys, back to the 60s: This 1966 Ray Davies pop-rock composition from "Face To Face" peaked at #1 in the UK and at #14 in the U.S. It bemoans the steep taxes levied by the Harold Wilson government. Epitomizes The Kinks' departure from their early hard-driving power-chord rock to a more lyrical and melodic mode beginning with "A Well-Respected Man" in '65. Song?
Answer: "Sunny Afternoon" by The Kinks. Different sound for The Kinks (actually, for the better, IMHO!). Their early sound was a little rough. Lest we forget our naughty, naughty Spanish version of "Lola"!
