The song, originally performed in a more blues - oriented style, was inspired by artists such as Lead Belly and Big Bill Broonzy . Two versions of the song were recorded, with the second performance being used for the final single . Although it was rumoured that future Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page had performed the song's guitar solo, the myth has since been proven false . </P> <P> "You Really Got Me" was built around power chords (perfect fifths and octaves) and heavily influenced later rock musicians, particularly in the genres of heavy metal and punk rock . Built around a guitar riff played by Dave Davies, the song's lyrics were described by Dave as "a love song for street kids ." </P>
