Louie Louie Is Overrated
LouieFest ‘06
is coming! Play “The National Anthem of Rock ‘n’ Roll” with 999 other guitarists:
Attempt to set a Guinness World record of the most guitars playing the same song together. Our choice of song is the formidable Washington State rock ‘n’ roll song “Louie Louie”.
Back In Black would be cooler.
The lyrics and music of ‘Louie Louie’ describes the history of its confusing lyrics and how to play it.
Toots & the Maytals recorded the best version. A video of it is available on YouTube, including their excellent reggae rendition of John Denver’s Take Me Home, Country Roads.

Well that sucks. Let’s try the embedded version in this comment:
The Country Roads bootleg video was cool though. I love Toots (which I pronounce like the word TOO, but with a TS on the end, not Tuhts).
Without Louie Louie, there would BE no “Back in Black!” Come on out to
Spanaway, WA and have a blast with us at LouieFest ‘06! We have 130 vendors, lots of food, a hotrod and bike show, 5 stages full of great music all day long!
