Louie Louie WAS the ‘B’ side.
“’Louie Louie’ is released by Flip Records on a 45 single as B-side to ‘You Are My Sunshine’. When ‘Louie Louie’ attracts more attention than its A-side the single is rereleased with ‘Louie Louie’ on A- and ‘Rock Rock Rock’ as new B-side. These singles becomes a minor local hit in the LA-area. “
What a load of hogwash. The Kingsmen version might be slurred, but the lyrics in the original Richard Berry version are clear as day, and once you’ve listened to that, it’s easy to hear that the Kingsmen are singing the same words.
Impressive!
Thanks!
I aim to please!
