Louie, Louie
In 2018 the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame introduced a new awards category, inducting into the hall six singles recordings that helped to shape rock history.
Included in these six recordings was "Louie Louie" by the Kingsmen.
From Wikipedia:
"Louie Louie" is a song written by Richard Berry in 1955 and best known for the 1963 hit version by The Kingsmen. It has become a standard in pop and rock, with hundreds of versions recorded by different artists. The song is based on the tune "El Loco Cha Cha” popularized by bandleader René Touzet and is an example of Latin influence on American popular music.
The Kingsmen's recording was the subject of an FBI investigation about the supposed but nonexistent obscenity of the lyrics, an investigation that ended without prosecution. Ironically, the recording notably includes the drummer yelling "Fuck!" after dropping his drumstick at the 0:54 mark.
By some accounts "Louie Louie" is the world's most recorded rock song with over 1,600 versions and counting (with more appearing regularly on YouTube and elsewhere).
****and how many teenage garage bands?
