The Kinks - Dandy



Although this song doesn't have a ton of lyrics and is quite short, ever since we read about Walter Benjamin's writings about Charles Baudelaire's ideas of the flaneur and the dandy, this song pops up into my head all of the time.
 

As more discussion about the flaneur/dandy arises, please check out the link to Taylor Davidson's blog page about the now Modern Flaneur...

"The term flaneur may date back to another era, but it’s an idea and an action more relevant today than ever."
