A great song, one of their best even if you can make it past the lyrical content…..[/quote]

Who are the kinks?
Never heard of it.[/quote]

The Kinks. They were hugely popular during the 80s. Their music was kinda rock and roll, kinda punk rockish.
They had songs that you may have heard or heard of.
Like “Destroyer” (Paranoia Big Destroyer.) Or the tune Lola (Lo Lo Lo Lola.)
Their song “Come Dancing” was possibly their biggest hit single.[/quote]

The Kinks were more of a 60s band. Or rather, they started out with big UK hits in the 60s. Once the 70s and 80s came around, their success switched a bit more over to the US. [/quote]

Since The Kinks were originally a UK band the lyrics to Art Lover at the time (81-82) aren’t really that bad.
Even though the lyrics are from a man who likes to sit at the park on Sunday afternoons watching all the little girls playing, he does sing that he is not a dirty old man who wants to take these girls from their Mothers.

He likens his obsession staring at little girls as a form of “Art.”
So when he sings for them to “come to Daddy,” he is likely referencing his desire to be a Father…. [/quote]
