> [@Wheelz](#): > > I heard Paul Simon’s “Kodachrome” this morning. It led me to think about how silly it was that the Kinks had to change “Coca-Cola” to “cherry cola” in “Lola,” and yet here’s a song all about a brand-name product, with that brand name as the song’s title, no less. The BBC didn’t allow names of products on the air. “Kodachrome” wasn’t released as a single in the UK for that reason. However, the Kinks wanted the airplay, so they redubbed the line. ---
