1966......#36 U.S. Billboard Hot 100, #59 U.S. Cash Box Top 100, #4 UK Singles Chart, #11 Canada, #36 Australia, #1 New Zealand, #11 Germany Original video edited and AI remastered with HQ stereo sound. “Dedicated Follower of Fashion“ is a 1966 song by British band the Kinks. It lampoons the contemporary British fashion scene and mod culture in general. Originally released as a single, it has been included on many of the band’s later albums. Musically, it and “A Well Respected Man“ marked the beginning of an expansion in the Kinks’ inspirations, drawing as much from British music hall traditions as from American rhythm and blues, the inspiration for breakthrough Kinks songs like “You Really Got Me“. While it was quite scornful toward them, many of the fashionistas the song mocks would later take its title to heart. The British record-buying public enjoyed the jab at “the whole Carnabetian army“ enough to put the song into the top five, reaching number four on the UK Singles Chart. It became their first top five single since “Tired of Waiting for You“, which reached number one in early 1965. It reached the top of the charts in The Netherlands and New Zealand. In the US, however, it barely managed to crack the Top Forty, peaking at #36. The lyrics won Davies an Ivor Novello Award for songwriting in 1966. Despite the praise for the song, Kinks guitarist Dave Davies described the song as “terrible“, saying, “[it was] the one Kink record I haven’t got.“ Billboard said the song had a “clever, music-hall melody and lyric in the bag of [the Kinks] smash ’A Well Respected Man.’“
