Louie Louie (24 Hour Party People)

This scene is taken from the excellent 24 Hour Party People movie. The actors play the protagonists of the last night of the Factory club in Manchester. Jon The Postman used to jump onstage at punk gigs and scream Louie Louie alone, here he is with members from Factory bands like Joy Division and an audience including their manager Rob Gretton and Factory founder Tony Wilson. Of course Louie Louie is a rock'n'roll classic made famous by The Kingsmen and legendary covers from bands like The Stooges.

is it true that ian curtis partcipated in this song?

[aneworderfan]

@0mgwtfbbq21 Yeah of course. At the end of Sister Ray on Still he says "You should hear our version of Louie Louie"... he was talking about this "cover" which was already legendary...

Try to find the Clash bootleg version of Louie Louie. Not as good as this one but quite more punk-ish than Iggy's

I dig the Motorhead version as well!

[aneworderfan]

Many thanks, I wasn't aware of these two versions, I like both, but Motorhead's really kicks ass!

[aneworderfan]

Of course you can find both if you search them here!

I've been looking for a version of Louie Louie close to this one ever since i watched this movie years ago. Does anyone know of any version as shambolic as this one?

[aneworderfan]

I would really love it too, Iggy's version sounds soft when compared to this! ;-)
