I didn't even know there was a cover for this song and that's atrocious. Original by far.

Haven't you been reading the comments? :lol:

Anyhow, which do you prefer?

I'm not a big fan of You Really Got Me, and in my opinion it's a crying shame that that is the song the Kinks became known for, and not something better like...anything from Arthur, or anything other than Lola from Lola, or anything from Muswell Hillbillies.

That being said, the Kinks version is still far in superior.
