Hello all you Kinky kinklings
Need ideas about the song 'Mr Big Man - Sleepwalker'
Who do you think Ray was singing about?
I think maybe himself as not to fall in the hole of stardom and fame like many do and simply fade out
or
Maybe someone else.... mmmmh... Who?
My first thread so excuse any errors.
I make unusual KinKs covers on youtube
No point in trying to replicate as the originals are always just a click away and you cannot perfect perfection
An example of my work, funny enough dedicated to our Frank Lima here of Mr Big Man
Would also like to know of any other unusual kinks covers (not replications) that you may come across on your kinky ways
Thanks
Clattybrown
Long Live the Kinks

Good to see you back Clattybrown!
I can't help you about Mr Big as I don't really know who it is about but I'm sure some people will know. I love your version though, as all your other covers of Kinks and non-Kinks songs. I do Drivin' decently on Ukulele, I may post it soon so you can see it. ;D

I think, like a lot of Ray's songs, he began by writing it about someone else and then when he got into it, he recognized a bit of himself in it.

I always thought it was about Margaret Hilda Thatcher (Mrs. or Mr. BIG MAN in Britain at the time.)

Never thought of that before Smiley, but it certainly fits.
