"You Really Got Me" is a song by the British rock band The Kinks, released in 1964. It was written by Ray Davies, the band's lead vocalist and guitarist, and is considered one of the first and most influential songs in the development of heavy metal and hard rock.
The song features a signature riff played by Dave Davies, Ray's brother and the lead guitarist of the band. The distorted guitar sound, achieved by slashing the speaker cone of Dave's amplifier with a razor blade, was groundbreaking at the time and set a new standard for rock guitar playing.
"You Really Got Me" was a major hit in the UK, peaking at number one on the singles chart. It also reached number seven on the US Billboard Hot 100 and became The Kinks' first international hit.
The song has been covered by many artists over the years, including Van Halen, who had a major hit with their version in 1978. It is also featured in many films, TV shows, and commercials, making it a timeless classic that continues to be enjoyed by generations of music fans.
