The Kinks “Waterloo Sunset”
Warm-up Questions 1. Do you know any song lyrics in which the singer is not focused on what (s)he is doing, but rather in what (s)he is watching/observing? 2. Are there any “anthems of Taiwan,” or songs about cities/places in Taiwan? Or, are there any songs you know that as soon as you hear them, they make you think of someplace special to you?
Cultural Importance 1. The Kinks, along with The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Who, were a pioneering part of the 60s “British Invasion” in rock/pop music. 2. “Waterloo Sunset” has been called “The Greatest Song about London” and “The Anthem of London”
