I own an album with 10 different versions of "Louie Louie" on it.
Not kidding you, I wish I was.

I suppose I lived a strange childhood.

But then again I'm figured out what possessed me to buy not one, but two albums by a group called "Box of Frogs". It makes less sense than the 2 Christian Rock albums I own.

I have a strange, fucked up vinyl collection

13. My two favorite versions are not on there.
A ska version by Toots and the Maytalls and one by the original Flamin' Groovies, which is on the CD version of Teenage Head.

16. Ska existed in the early 1960s.

I don't know when Toots recorded his Louie Louie, though. Probably late 1960s.

Remaining members of the Yardbirds, if I remember correctly. Had a pretty good first album!

12. Ha ha!
I like the version by "The Last." They're trying to sound like The Doors.

B-)

9. Does that include the Black Flag version?
Because if it doesn't, you got ripped off!

Louie Louie was supposed to become our state song, but some idiot Repuke stopped it.

18. Yeah, the Louie Louie riff is all over the place
that was one of his conceptual continuity riffs, along with snippets from Stravinsky and some other stuff.
