Louie Louie

"Louie Louie" is an American rock 'n' roll song written by Richard Berry in 1955, before becoming a standard in pop and rock, with 1200 different versions counted in 1993. Among these versions, the song has been the basis for Psyché Rock (by Pierre Henry), who later became the basis for generic remix of the American series Futurama (by Christopher Tyng). The song is sung by a Jamaican sailor telling a bartender, named Louie, that he must go back to find his bride. First recorded in April 1957 for the label Flip on a calypso rhythm for a single B-side of You Are My Sunshine. While the title of the song is often rendered with a comma ("Louie, Louie"), in 1988 Berry told Esquire magazine that the correct title of the song was "Louie Louie", with no comma.
