Taking Sides: Ray Davies vs. Dave Davies

Ray pronounces it so as to rhyme with Maurice Gibb.

Some years ago I figured out the actual Maurice pronunciation but with Davies I grew up assuming Day-veez bc every American says it that way. But then I heard an interview with Ray where he insisted it was pronounced the other way, so I thought just like with Maurice I've been a rube all this time saying Day-veez... and then that tweet from Dave appeared.

Somebody on X just asked Dave what he thought of the Raincoats Lola cover and he said he wasn't familiar. He checked it out and declared it the best version.

Ray tricked me too. He had me misprouncing Terence Davies last name last weekend at MoMi.
