You Really Got Me
Gold
It's All Right
[The original demo version of 'You Really Got Me'] had very way-out words and a funny sort of ending that didn't. We did it differently on the record because [this original version] was really rather uncommercial.

We were really surprised when 'You Really Got Me' was a hit. Why wasn't our last disc, 'You Still Want Me'? Because it wasn't any good. We didn't like it much ... We write for ourselves now.

песня The Kinks
When I first heard ["You Really Got Me"], I said, "Shit, it doesn't matter what you do with this, it's a number one song". It could have been done in waltz time and it would have been a hit.

Every aspect of the song's construction is governed by the riff, a rapid alteration of bass notes a whole tone apart... this element probably accounts almost single-handedly for the song's popularity.
