David Watts (song)
"David Watts" is a song written by Ray Davies that originally appeared on the Kinks's 1967 album ''Something Else by the Kinks''. It was also the American and Continental Europe B-side to Autumn Almanac. It has been included on several compilation albums, including ''The Kink Kronikles'' (1972).
==Background==
It is about the singer's great admiration of fellow schoolboy David Watts, who appears to have a "charmed life." There is an undercurrent of either deep envy or, as AllMusic put it, "a schoolboy crush." It is also, as Jon Savage has written, one of Ray Davies' "sharpest homoerotic songs". As Ray Davies has confirmed in ''The Kinks: The Official Biography'' by Savage, "David Watts is a real person. He was a concert promoter in Rutland". Ray goes on to relate how the real Watts was gay and demonstrated an obvious romantic interest in brother Dave. In this light, lines like "he is so gay and fancy free"; and "all the girls in the neighbourhood try to go out with David Watts....but can't succeed.." provide a second level of interpretation based on this ironic in-joke.〔Savage, Jon ''The Kinks : The Official Biography'' London: Faber and Faber, 1984 pp.94–96 〕
