Talk:Dedicated Follower of Fashion

"They seek him here, they seek him there"
This line was taken from The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934 film), was it not? Kablammo 12:58, 8 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Perhaps it was; I haven't seen it. But I wouldn't put it in to the article; it's too trivial. Unless Davies, or some reputable critic, has pointed that out. Daniel Case 14:19, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It has some currency as an expression, just as does dedicated follower of fashion. (Google returns a number of references.)  I have no idea whether Davies got the term directly from the film where it originated, or the common usage it inspired.  Kablammo 18:20, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Mystery solved (perhaps):
 * "More subtly, Orczy's influence showed up in the opening lines of 'Dedicated Follower of Fashion,' a hit song by Ray Davies and the Kinks: 'They seek him here/they seek him there' is the opening line of the poem about the Pimpernel quoted in the Baroness' original book from 1905."
 * from Answers.com, but for some reason not in Wikipedia's article on Baroness Orczy. Kablammo


 * Probably because it was deleted from that. It is sourced there, however ... I don't know, though, if we consider All Movie Guide a reliable source for that sort of thing (in WP:FILM, we tell people you can only use the IMdB for basic credit information, ratings, runtimes and such, because nothing else can be verified there and anybody can add anything.

Two points
For a start, this record is significant in that Ray Davies sings the lyric in his own accent. This was the first time any major British rock group vocalist had done this on a 45. Am I right?

Also, and I can't remember where and when I read this, but I've always understood the song to be at least partly inspired by Dave Davies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.86.41.137 (talk) 19:01, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
