I love the Kinks. First heard this song on the end of a Sopranos episode. Tony's sister Janice is in good spirits and Tony acts like a bastard by talking about her estranged kid, leading to her flipping out and going nuts. As Tony walks out the door and down the street in a long sweeping shot the live version of 'I'm Not Like Everybody Else' blares out. Moment I heard it I was mystified, DAMN, what a GREAT song! And the live version sounds really modern and chunky. I had to look it up to discover it was the Kinks, it was a big suprise, and made me realize even more how great the Kinks are. The original sounds much more like the rest of 60s Kinks but it's still great.
I think I will cover this song soon enough. It's fantastic. I love the message.
