Topic: Louie Louie

I couldn't find anything existing to put this in, so this is just a bit of informative fun for us older ones.

Most, if not all, of us at the time were convinced that there were all sorts of hidden and possibly dirty words in this minor classic, which made it all the more intriguing and exciting when compared to what was prevalent in 1963.

Wonder no more! big_smile

I know that Joe could play one of those kid's guitars with the plastic strings and make it sound good-

Re: Louie Louie

I believe it was a traditional Jamaican song, that was why it was so hard to understand. I can't remember where I got that from.
