"Lola" is a song by the British rock band The Kinks, released in 1970. It was written by the band's lead singer and songwriter, Ray Davies. Ray Davies wrote "Lola" after an encounter experienced by the band's manager, Robert Wace, at a club. Wace danced with a woman who turned out to be a man.

The song narrates the story of a young man who meets a person named Lola in a club. The protagonist initially assumes Lola is a woman, only to discover that Lola is biologically male. The song explores themes of gender identity and sexual ambiguity, which were quite bold and controversial at the time of its release.

"Lola" combines rock with a catchy, memorable riff and a sing-along chorus. It features a distinctive opening guitar riff played by Dave Davies, Ray's brother and the band's lead guitarist.
The lyrics are narrative and witty, with lines like "Well I'm not the world's most masculine man / But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man / And so is Lola."

The BBC initially banned "Lola" because of a brand name reference in the lyrics (Coca-Cola). Ray Davies had to fly back to the UK to re-record the line as "cherry cola" to get the song airplay.

Overall, "Lola" is a significant song in the history of rock music, not just for its catchy melody but also for its bold lyrical content and the conversations it sparked about gender and identity.
