Trivia / Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One

• Banned in China: "Lola", thanks to its Twist Ending, was also banned from airplay on some radio stations (or clumsily censored by fading before The Reveal in the final verse). Notably The BBC banned it for a totally different reason - "Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like Coca Cola" counted as Product Placement, so Ray Davies had to overdub it with generic "cherry cola" instead.
• Referenced by...: The "Weird Al" Yankovic song "Yoda" parodies "Lola" by rewriting it as a Filk Song about Luke Skywalker's training under Yoda's tutelage in The Empire Strikes Back.
