Kinks - Lola
I was watching eddie izzard on BBC America the othe day so i feel that it is appropriate that i put some of the lyrics to the kinks up 
I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like coca-cola
See-oh-el-aye cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
El-oh-el-aye Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Now the funny thing about this song is that this version of the song was banned! How things have changed; the reason that the lola song was banned was because oft he use of ‘coca-cola’ in the lyrics! the kinks recorded a radio friendly cherry cola version of the song for the radio. It hardly bears thinking about that a song could be banned for product placement, oh happy days. Nowadays it seems like pepsi cola and volkswagen have people writing lyrics for musicians!
