Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Something Else by the Kinks is the fifth studio album by The Kinks, released in 1967. It's a continuation of the more melodic and wittily observational songwriting which first emerged on their previous album Face to Face, the title reflecting the band's desire to be known for "something else" besides the raucous Garage Rock with which they'd first gotten attention. The album was a slow seller, partly due to the band's being banned from touring in the US. |

Obnoxious In-Laws: The mother-in-law in "Situation Vacant" pressures her son-in-law to leave his job and try to get a better one. When he can't, the marriage falls apart and his wife moves back in with her mother, which is what the MIL wanted all along. |

Smoking Is Cool: "Harry Rag" is all about the joys of lighting up. "Harry rag" is Cockney rhyming slang for "fag". |

Record Producer: Shel Talmy, The Kinks' regular producer up to this point, helmed most of it. Ray Davies insisted on producing "Waterloo Sunset", and basically remained the band's sole producer afterwards. |

Cannot Spit It Out/Oblivious to Love: A two-sided version occurs in "Afternoon Tea". A man meets with a woman, Donna, everyday for tea. He has deeper feelings for her, but never gets around to telling her. He's then shocked when she gets tired of waiting and stops showing up. |

Watching the Sunset: "Waterloo Sunset", of course. The singer avows that when he sees it, he's "in Paradise" despite his implied friendlessness and being out of step with modern life. |

Lyrical Dissonance: Being in a hospital and having the doctors forbid you to see the person you're there for is not really a happy circumstance. Especially when you keep asking yourself "How can I live without her?" Yet "Funny Face" sounds downright upbeat. |
