Lola versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One is an album by the English rock


band The Kinks, recorded and released in 1970.





Lyrically, Lola versus Powerman is a satirical look at the various facets of the music industry


including song publishers ("Denmark Street"), unions ("Get Back in Line"), the hitmaking


machine ("Top of the Pops"), accountants and business managers ("The Moneygoround")


and the road ("This Time Tomorrow"). "Apeman" finds Davies becoming fed up with it all and


expressing a desire to leave society and go swinging through the jungle. The closing track,


"Got to Be Free", is an anthem for maintaining personal independence in the face of all


opposition. Musically, the album is an extremely varied affair, contrasting gentle ballads like


"Get Back in Line" and "A Long Way From Home" against songs like "Rats" and "Powerman",


two of the hardest rockers in the Kinks repertoire. "Denmark Street" and "The


Moneygoround", like much of Ray Davies's work, pay homage to the English music hall


tradition.





The album's most famous song and a worldwide hit single, "Lola", is about an encounter with


a tranvestite. Encouraged by his father, Davies consciously and carefully crafted the song to


be a hit after a long dry spell for the band on both the U.K. and U.S. charts. He was even


forced to fly from the United States to England to overdub the trademarked word "Coca-Cola"


from the original master tape to prevent potential legal problems. The success of the single


and album had important ramifications for the band's career at a critical time, allowing them to


negotiate a new contract with RCA Records, construct their own London Studio and assume


more creative and managerial control. "Lola" also became their most popular sing-a-long


anthem at concerts, as they struggled to regain a footing in the U.S. concert market after the


American Federation of Musicians, who had refused permits for the group to perform


concerts there since 1965, relented in 1969.
