"Louie Louie" #2 12/14/1963

In the post-JFK landscape, most everything on the charts was rather mellow...and then there was this. Paul Revere and the Raiders had perhaps the first rock version of this, but fellow Portland, OR act the Kingsmen had the much bigger hit, supposedly done in a drunken stupor. Maybe the sloppiest rock record ever made...and one of the most fun records ever.

Kingsmen - Louie Louie
