It was great to hear the song at half time in San Jose yesterday when the Washington Huskies broke in to the sweeet sixteen.

look i dont like this version im sorry. i know its the original but sometimes songs belong to other people. like " the kingsmen" they rock this song out. we all have our opionions so if any of you disagree with me i could care less im not gonna argue with you over the comment box like mrblues and love logic guy. like why do you guys talk like elegant people seriously its sickening and you guys like rock n roll and talk like that you guys most be real squares.

@crymethemoon As U say I respect different opinions..

But are U not happy to hear it , so that U can decide?

Im from Seattle but I like the original of any thing..

@crymethemoon And as for people talking "elegantly," perhaps some people prefer to speak and type using proper English, and even if they do it doesn't mean they can't like whatever kind of music they like.

@blackapril42 what did u expect? naked titties? ITS CALLED A RECORD! probably before your time. we used to communicate over wires too believe it or not! wasnt always point and click! LMFAO!

@RickenbackerBeatles AMEN! +++

@crymethemoon u dont have 2 like it to appreciate its simplicity. Kingsmen ripped it off! But turned it into a classic! and all along, i thought it was an original. but look at songs like Clapton Crossroads. capitalized and made millions on a dead legend. What i find really sickening is rappers ripping off bits and pieces of REAL music, (like this) mixing shit on top, havin the balls 2 call it "music" &claiming it 4 their own. Anyone can crap on a masterpiece. & people just eat it up! go figure!

The actual basis of this song was not Richard Berry... He did a "clean" adaptation of the song, and essentially stole and rewrote it.

@Thereyago21 If you all want to know the story about this song, type in search: Who sang the original Louie Louie? (video by thecourtsmen) Yesterday I wrote like 10 fully comments like this one there. In short, according to Berry himself, "Louie Louie was about a sailor sitting at a bar, talking to the bartender about his girl back in Jamaica. He is pouring out his troubles to the bartender Louie. Berry says he was inspired by a latin band and Chucks 'Havana Moon', thus the lyrics "me gotta go"

@Thereyago21 Then listen to the second version of Louie louie by the Wailers from 1961. I white grup and they introduced the, "...give it to them" guitar solo. It is a real great version. They also had a real cool instrumental called "Tall Cool One" It was Rockin' Robin Roberts who found Berry's version in a used record bin and in recorded it with Seattle band, the Wailers in 1961. Btw, in early 1986, Berry's own publishing company successfully reclaimed most of the ownership of this song. ...
