'Edit for headphones. This studio take has a real nice rhythm guitar part. A Ray Davies and the Kinks 1966 song. Source of the edit is song nr.21 on cd 2 of the 2014 Kinks 50th anniversary album \"The Anthology 1964-1971\" (remastered 5 cd box)(cat.nr. 88875021542) named \"Dedicated Follower Of Fashion (session excerpt - takes 1-3) previously unissued\". (I used the third take.) Here is more info on the album: https://www.discogs.com/The-Kinks-The-Anthology-1964-1971/release/6312983 A 1966 nr.1 hit in Holland and New Zealand, nr.4 in the UK, nr.11 in Canada and Germany, nr.36 in the US and Australia. Ray Davies once explained the song is an attack on a dandy who made fun of his trousers... DEDICATED FOLLOWER OF FASHION (Raymond Douglas Davies) they seek him here, they seek him there his clothes are loud, but never square it will make or break him so he\'s got to buy the best \'cause he\'s a dedicated follower of fashion and when he does, his little round \'round the boutiques,of London Town eagerly pursuing all the latest fads and trends \'cause he\'s a dedicated follower of fashion oh yes he is, oh yes he is he thinks he is a flower to be looked at and when he pulls his frilly nylon panties right up tight he feels a dedicated follower of fashion oh yes he is, oh yes he is there\'s one thing that he loves and that is flattery one week he\'s in polka-dots, the next week he is in stripes \'cause he\'s a dedicated follower of fashion they seek him here, they seek him there in Regent Street, and Leicester Square everywhere the Carnabetian army marches on each one a dedicated follower of fashion oh yes he is, oh yes he is his world is built \'round discotheques and parties this pleasure-seeking individual always looks his best \'cause he\'s a dedicated follower of fashion oh yes he is, oh yes he is he flits from shop to shop just like a butterfly in matters of the cloth he is as fickle as can be \'cause he\'s a dedicated follower of fashion he\'s a dedicated follower of fashion? he\'s a dedicated follower of fashion! ®© UMG All rights reserved by the copyright owners.
