Louie Louie

Info

Louie Louie, geïnspireerd op het nummer van the Kingsmen, is een bar waar je kan ontbijten, lunchen en in de avond kan borrelen en eten.

Label

The Kingsmen hebben het nummer, orgineel geschreven door Richard Berry gecoverd. Maar hun versie is wel de bekendste en beste van alle covers ooit gemaakt van het nummer. En Richard Berry had eigenlijk zijn eigen versie van El Loco Cha Cha gemaakt. Er zijn tegenwoordig meer dan 1600 versies van het nummer. Maar die van the Kingsmen heeft wel het meest teweeg gebracht.

Een paar quotes van de wiki:

Another factor in the success of the record may have been the rumor that the lyrics were intentionally slurred by the Kingsmen---allegedly to cover the fact that it was laced with profanity, graphically depicting sex between the sailor and his lady. Crumpled pieces of paper professing to be "the real lyrics" to "Louie Louie" circulated among teens. The song was banned on many radio stations and in many places in the United States, including Indiana, where it was personally prohibited by Governor Matthew Welsh

- zelfs de FBI vertrouwde het niet -
These actions were taken despite the small matter that practically no one could distinguish the actual lyrics. Denials of chicanery by Kingsmen and Ely did not stop the controversy. The FBI started a 31-month investigation into the matter and concluded they were "unable to interpret any of the wording in the record."[2] Ironically, however, drummer Lynn Easton later admitted that he yelled "Fuck" after fumbling a drumstick at 0:54 on the record.
