Lola by The Kinks.

For years I thought they sang...

'She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a cockerel voice she said Lola.

I must admit I even tried saying 'Lola' in the way a cockerel might 😳

Oh, and who can forget that classic ‘My lover’s got no money, he’s got his trombelise’. I think I imagined a trombelise as a musical instrument of some kind, maybe a bit like a lute

I used to think it was something like that, stromboleef or something! And would wonder what exactly that was. This was in the days before you could Google things so easily!

My DP took the piss out of me so much when he heard me singing along to the trombalece song! So glad it wasn't just me imagining some weird trombone-saxophone hybrid or something 🤣

Its a Wonderful World - I used to happily sing "The bright blessed day, the dogs say goodnight"
The correct line is the dark sacred night, which in hindsight makes much more sense.

BarbaraVineFan · 17/06/2025 23:26

@Tooty78i have just laughed out loud at that! What a sweet image though!
