The hit version was by The Kingsmen



Louie Louie is one of the most recorded songs of all time. Station KALX in Berkeley used to have a yearly show of all the versions they could find and played well over a thousand.



Here are the original lyrics:



Louie, Louie,

me gotta go.

Louie, Louie,

me gotta go.

A fine little girl, she wait for me;

me catch a ship across the sea.

I sailed the ship all alone;

I never think I'll make it home



Three nights and days we sailed the sea;

me think of girl constantly.

On the ship, I dream she there;

I smell the rose in her hair.



Me see Jamaica moon above;

It won't be long me see me love.

Me take her in my arms and then

I tell her I never leave again.

The Kingsmen. This is the version that the FBI investigated for supposedly obscene lyrics, finally concluding that the lyrics were "unintelligible at any speed."

The Kingsmen. At least, they were who sang the song in the 60's.

The Kingsmen, Oregon, who recently won a $30million settlement for royalties they were owed for the song.

Records.
