“Why don’t you put in some permanent waves
You’ll look smooth, you’ll look cool, you’ll be laughing
You’ll get lots of dates, you’ll be made, you’ll get laid
You’ll get out and about, you’ll be laughing
Oh, you’ll be O.K. once you get those permanent waves”
– Ray Davies, The Kinks “Permanent Waves” on the album Misfits (1978)
