[CityMadHull]

Amazing song. Onto my 4th listen in a row.....

[RoForce100]

@1:28 epic gutar solo.

[RoForce100]

xD

[grahambo7]

@0:54 someone yells "fuck"

[nostology]

He's using 4 drum sticks

[liuliuoti]

I wish somebody asked me to dance during this song!

[lollipopprincess12]

Lol My Band Class Played this...its UH-MAY-ZING!

[rockaintpollution]

the proof it's lipsync : you can hear the drummer say "fuck" at 0:55, like in the original version

[JISAJ]

Wahey...i love this song! x

[fannypapillon]

lip sinc oder nicht ,so egal. Futter für die Ohren.Jawohl.

[scifi1996]

u can tell its lip syncing

[Mick342]

WAYYYYYYYY ahead of the beatles at the time.

[mrbill1000]

i dunno if it was this version or Berry's version but apparently it sounds like this because there was one overhead microphone for singer and the rest of the band. He had to sing basically by looking straight up or something. Just somethign i remember i heard on the radio.

[AceofSpade29]

lmao dad was right, u cant tell wth they sayin

[KBkingben]

prefer the motorhead cover. this isn't the original btw so you can't say that the original can't be beaten meaning this.

[dankilleen]

this song makes me want to watch animal house

[jakeav11]

i love tht movie , one of my favorites

[urthmx4evr]

Always loved this. Wasn't there an urban myth about this being a very dirty song? Sounds a little like punk meets reggae to me. I'm sure the dirty lyric rumor made us love it all the more.

[sattodo]

Hey just a question, you said you downloaded this before on youtube. May I ask how you did that! LOL didnt think you could. Would be very apprieciated if you could let me know how! Also love the song and vid!!

[lemurjim]

I used a FLV player download thing, but i think the company that made the software have closed down, but if you google search "HOW TO DOWNLOAD YOUTUBE VIDEOS", then other flv players and tutorials will come up

[tiptoe221]

Thanks for reposting this.

[benny266698]

the best version ever

[DanRules89]

i like the guitarist on the right, he looks all dopey

[tiffanayaye]

Why can't we have music like this today? :(

[mrsonicyouth]

we have this music today: you can always listen to this kind of music. and it exists. if bands would always make the same kind of music, than it would be like you have to eat your favourite meal every day..: not good after a while.

this is no problem. there was great music decades ago like this. and there is other great music today, which should be discovered.

don't throw things away just because you are not open minded enough and are not able to appreciate..

[nckntspl]

This always me think of undergrad. I can't listen to it and not smile. We would always sing it after too many cocktails and fake the words. Blamed not knowing the words on alcohol- just a good excuse.

Thanks for finding this.

Cheers,

[girltube5318008]

A favoritos!!

[SLUMBERS2]

ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER no doubt about it

[actymel2]

It remind me "Animal house"....

Wonderfull John!!!!!!

[Nintendawg]

I always loved when Frank Zappa spun this song around...

[TCSC47]

Fab!

[MikeDial]

When I was playing in garage bands, you couldn't play in public if you couldn't play this song.

[FuckingWooh]

I love this song but i wish it wasn't so poorly recorded, you can hear the drummer yell 'fuck!' at 55 seconds.

[rara1800]

i like this song but what the hell are they saying?

[reddurham1]

fuck all yall who think that the kingsman aint a good band ROCK ON BITCHES!

[peytonplc10]

mumble a few lines and you've got a hit.

[unreal607]

lol

[HeadTater]

Just ask Bob Dylan. He's living proof.

[2sdaysonthefon2me]

Way cool! One of my all time favorite songs.

[DieHardBeatlesFan]

LOVE THIS GR8 SHARE S2

[tedrock1969]

Ah!!

[eamonncake]

The most magnificent piece of shit ever recorded.

[jmangeary]

so everybody knows that hendrix played rhythm guitar for these guys and this song, right?

[MusicDude86]

Hendrix got his start playing for Little Richard and the Isley Brothers.

[rickb731]

these fuckers made a boatload of dough off this song and all the bs about the "secret message " the FBI thought was in the song and all that crap and the poor bastard who wrote it didnt see 1 penny from it for almost 40 years

[ntheAttic]

Rock n roll classic that will never die!

[ginder66]

top tune

[greentoes1234]

this song is easy as hell on guitar but I LOVE IT

[FrankMazeppa]

0:55 the drummer shouts the f-word!!

[tateconlon]

That's because he broke a drum stick! lol

[rcknbkr403]

Very true. It's hysterical that the song was BANNED from alotta radio when it came out becuase the unintelligible lyrics (though innocent) were thought to be sexually explicit when there was an F-bomb dropped right in the middle of the song!

[geltch]

1965 - the year I graduated from high school. Wow! BEST rock 'n roll song ever...what rock 'n roll's all about...borrowing a song from Jamaica, making a glaring mistake, and simple lyrics...even if no one understood them then!

[Kinksforever]

this is garage rock!!! yeahhhhhhh

[mrduct]

april 1963

[TECHKLEC]

First release.

[martylmilton]

I was in my mid-teens when this song was released. I remember sitting in my room listening to the 45 and trying to hear the dirty words in the song. I even turned the speed down to 33-1/3 to try to hear the lyrics. The truth is that the singer was just slurring over words of the song he didn't know.

Part of that video looks like it was taken from the groups appearance on Where The Action Is, a great after school program produced by Dick Clark. I raced home to see the show every day.

[TECHKLEC]

Don't quote me, but it seems to me that 'Louie Louie' was on the charts twice. It was origianally released in '63 and then came back in '65. 'Where the Action Is' started in late '65, which featured the Knickerbockers a lot.

[ralphedds1]

martylmiton, I can very much relate to you, was doing the same thing, he wasn't slurring though, this song caused guite a comotion, remember they banned this song.

[phillippatterson1]

FBI received some information about this tune when it came out. That perhaps it had some very lewd phrasing along with some type of hidden meaning. It was examined and investigated in secret. The audiometer and voice playbacks were pretty much impossible to understand the actual wording. Their conclusion was maybe a harmless sea chantey? True story. Phil P.

[LoveMarriott]

This is sooooo great.

Love it.

[acemacleod1]

this song appears in TV series Wonder Years when Wayne is teaching to dance Kevin.

[predatorpio]

Thanks for posting... great classic song
