  • Denied Parody: Ray Davies denied that the "Terry" and "Julie" in "Waterloo Sunset" are Terence Stamp and Julie Christie, saying in 2008, "It was a fantasy about my sister going off with her boyfriend to a new world and they were going to emigrate and go to another country". He did have a nephew called Terry.
  • Reality Subtext: Possibly unintentional, but "Waterloo Sunset" was released barely two months before the end of steam-hauled trains out of London Waterloo (and in the south in general). The year 1967 is, in fact, often referred to as "steam's Waterloo Sunset", and in July 2017, an excursion from Waterloo to mark 50 years since the end of steam in the south ran under the name "The Waterloo Sunset".
