In one of the Kinks’ most popular recordings, their 1970 hit “Lola”, the singer doesn’t quite lay it all on the line with the final words:  It is actually Lola who is glad that the singer is a man – s/he remains as mysterious as the androgynous Saturday Night Live character “Pat” (played by Julia Sweeney) whose romantic companion is “Chris” (originally played by Dana Carvey).
