La canción Lola de The Kinks narra el encuentro del narrador con una aparente mujer, Lola, en un club en Soho, Londres, quien resulta ser un hombre. Fue inspirada por una experiencia real que ocurrió con el gerente de The Kinks, Robert Wace, en un club nocturno de París. Es conocida por desafiar las normas de género y sexualidad de su época.
