Fountains of Wayne has covered it too. I seem to recall that they performed it live on Late Night with Conan O’Brien in the weeks following 9-11.

the bouncing souls have a great cover of this song on their Gold album – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXwbQjhFUc8. This is the first time I’m hearing the Kinks version. I’m a huge Ray Davies fan but I like the Souls version better.

Great song. Needs to be in Rock Band. “Father Christmas” is another good one.

Ah, The Kinks. One of my favorite rock groups.
Here, “Cliches of the World” from the first album of theirs that I owned, State of Confusion:
