Watch the original:
And the re-make:
I love watching Ray Davies doing everything in his power not to freak out, while David Lee Roth totally overdoes it later on down the road.
Here’s another VH fave of mine:
Such great guitar in here…but you watch the video, and you begin to understand why Roth got the boot. What a peacock he is, but I don’t know if they could have been what they were without the boy.
Here’s more greatness in the early world of the MTV Nation:
That’s probably the one song on earth where I think the drummer is worth the oxygen. But again, Roth is the canned ham hogging up the video. As it should be, since it’s all visual. I love how this scandalized everyone back then, too. Good stuff.

They rocked! Aye, aye…Panama is such a kick-ass summer song.
Harbinger or…acknowledgement? heh, heh…I’m sure we all had that one teacher, right>

The funniest thing about all of that is the chef who came out of the kitchen in the Kinks video to get his freak on a bit, complete with jacket and chef’s hat. I guess the music just move him.
