Ray Davies at the Olympics: Waterloo Sunset

One of the gems from what is known as 'the lost period' for The Kinks, "Waterloo Sunset" is a quintessential English song from a quintessential English songwriter, Ray Davies.

Watch as Davies performs it at the closing ceremonies of the Olympics.

The brain-dead cretins at NBC chose to cut this lovely and impeccably choreographed song out of its coverage tape-delayed coverage. As punishment they should be forced to swim in a vat of their own filth. Oh, did you know that Davies returned to Waterloo? Scroll down.
