In a contemporary interview, Ray explained that he composed " The Village Green Preservation Society" after someone suggested to him that the Kinks had been preserving "nice things from the past". [192] [193] The song states the band's intentions to "preserve" things and consists of a listing of British institutions to be saved for posterity, [194] including vaudeville, the George Cross medal and its recipients, draught beer and virginity, among others. [195] Ray subsequently described the song as the album's "national anthem". [193] Employing a simple composition, its arrangement is defined by what Miller terms Avory's "especially exuberant" drumming and the "similarly light and effective" piano contribution. [196] [nb 30] Ray and Dave closely harmonise throughout, while Ray's voice is emphasised at the midway point and its closing. [199] "Do You Remember Walter" [ edit ] Kitts, Thomas M. (2008).
