... don't forget that when it originally came out, the song was banned by
the BBC ... not because of the subject matter, but because it mentions the
brand name "Coca-Cola"!  (Allegedly, Ray Davies had to fly back to London
in the middle of an American tour to go back into the studio and sing the
word "cherry", so it could be dubbed over the offending trademark.)
