<P> `` You Really Got Me '' is a song written by Ray Davies for English rock band the Kinks . 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>
