Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I've loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on KZbin, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I've evolved into doing other things on KZbin. For years now I've wanted to create a music channel on KZbin, and recently just figured "why not?", so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.

Love it! I don’t care what the lyrics are.

[@kathyrizzi8754]

Omg, this song was a big hit in the 60’s. All of us teenagers loved it, still do. Shawn you’re playing all the songs I was hoping for. Thank you! 👍👏👏👏👏🎵🎸🎺🎷🎹🥁🪕🪈🪇🎶💜💜

[@mamared56]

I worked at a university in the 90's, and this song was stilled played at frat parties. LOL!

[@shirleybhs9zd6li5i]

What an uprising this caused in 1963. Living north of Seattle our relatives in Portland Oregon kept us informed of all the people and even the FBI wanting to ban it as pornography, for words no one could understand, lol. From that time until today all northwest marching bands proudly play it on football fields. What a hoot. Blessings.

[@xenialafleur]

In the end, the FBI concluded that it couldn't be obscene, because the lyrics were completely indecipherable.

[@subwaygoddess1]

Never knew a single word other than Louie Louie! 😂

[@silgen]

Ironically Lemmy and Motorhead's cover is said to have the clearest lyric, although he made up the third verse.

[@Colton-q7p]

Paul Revere and the raiders do a great version as well. Check out some of their songs! So many to choose from.

[@chazcp]

A Seattle based group. Louie Louie became an anthem played at many University of Washinton sports games.

[@mikeross14]

Recorded in Mono, With Jack Ely the Singer on His tip-toes to sing into the one overhead Microphone! This song and "Gloria!" were the songs every Garage band had to play!They replaced singer with Lyn Eastman! The Band Toppled the Beatles with their cover of "Money!"which was sold by writer Barry Gordy to both bands! check-out "Money!" by Kingsmen!

[@marxlover100]

Shawn, play the original "Louie Louie" by Richard Berry. Very, very catchy song and the diction is clear.

[@mikefetterman6782]

The CIA and FBI actually had files on this song, unable to understand all the words, they were suspicious of hidden messages.

[@doughaviland1729]

This was such a MONSTER request on the Oldies radio channels on station played different covers of Louie Louie for a solid 24 hours, apparently trying to make the kids sick of hearing it! Didn't work. The following year they screamed for the station to do it again!😂❤❤❤

[@sweisbrod6109]

In the 60s there was an AM radio station near Detroit that played Shout! by the Isley Brothers over and over, continuously, from 6pm on Friday to 6pm on Sunday. It might have been a "Pirate Station" running extra power because we could get it in Cincinnati...home of the Isley Brothers

[@mucksmith3569]

I love when the lead singer comes in early at the third stanza and they left it in. Can’t afford to re-record.

[@markgallemore8856]

Look up the origins of SUNN amplifiers which was started by one of the members of the Kingsmen with the help of his brother in their garage. Because of the time amplifiers weren’t loud enough play Large venues.

[@mikerichards67]

Animal House toga party watch it.

[@KJ-4321]

Definitely garage sound & such a popular song back then! Covered by soooo many! You mentioned Paul Revere & the Raiders again! Can’t wait till you get to them! “Kicks” .. “Him or me-what’s it gonna be? .. “Good thing” .. “Hungry” .. “Just Like me” …many more & as you read, they also covered Louie, Louie. Thanks for another fun & informative reaction! 😀

[@andreaschmall5560]

No one ever reacts to The Raiders which is nuts.

[@robertlear2712]

This was a huge hit at the time. Every local garage band played it at their shows. I had the 45 record and I played it over and over.

[@rubroken]

Vague sounding lyrics which could be interpreted as dirty or pornographic. Great garage band staple in the 60's

[@airandmist]

Such a fun song. A college radio station in Northern California (KFJC) back in the 80's ran a Louie Louie marathon where they asked for cover submissions of this song from around the world and played all the covers for like a whole weekend. I think there was an accompanying vinyl record too.

[@TangoEliott]

As a kid I babbled my way thru this song. I had no clue what the words were and just made up words that were not words, just sounds.

[@MikeWalsh-f1g]

Sometimes the vibe is way more important than the words. Exhibit A: Louie Louie😂 Prominent placement in Animal House.

[@bobschenkel7921]

At the time it was released "Louie, Louie" was VERY controversial, because the lyrics were so blurred and indistinguishable. Saw the Grateful Dead in Louisville, Kentucky in the Spring of 1989, and they covered "Louie, Louie" during he show. The crowd went a little nutty. LOL.

[@bobschenkel7921]

"Louie, Louie" was famously featured in the movie "Animal House".

[@donnabailey8983]

This is one of those songs the first time you hear it , it is Branded in your brain. Love it.

[@OldNicksVid]

The song's author, Richard Berry, seems to have been a popular touring act in the Pacific NW for a minute in the late 1950's. The Kingsmen, from Portland, and other regional bands all played cover versions of 'Louie Louie'. The garbled words came out of the low-rent nature of their recording studio. Mainstream America immediately assumed that the lyrics must be obscene.

[@craigreid7178]

I saw these guys live back in the mid '60s. They were pretty good.

[@silgen]

I read somewhere this is the most covered song in history. I like the Motorhead cover myself.

[@johnniekight1879]

It's "Yesterday", the most covered.

[@silgen]

@@johnniekight1879 I heard that as well. Which one is right? To quote from Wikipedia ""Louie Louie" is the world's most recorded rock song,[49][50] with published estimates ranging from over 1,600[10] to more than 2,000[51] "with ever more still being released and performed".[52]". If you don't trust Wikipedia the citations are in the article to look up.

[@ptournas]

​@@silgenAccording to a cited reference in Wikipedia, it passed "Yesterday" on 2017.

[@RuthKing-wm9nw]

Lol classic what a stir this caused!

[@markmurphy558]

To be honest, I NEVER understood the lyrics of songs I heard on the radio, and didn't try to. I listened to the SOUND of the singing, and then, when I bought the record, I read the lyrics off the liner notes. In rock, the words were usually nonsense or very obscure.

[@blacksox2730]

Famous already, this song gained evermore fame when it was featured in the 1978 movie Animal House. Threatened with expulsion by the the Dean, the college fraternity decides to go out with a Greek toga party. John Belushi, (original cast member SNL) and his roving eyebrows, steals the scene and the movie. Anyone who’s never seen the movie should check out the movie. It’s an hilarious take on fraternity life in the early sixties!

[@joannparker1977]

Can you say Toga, Toga, TOGA!!!! This band is like "The Animal House" version of The Rolling Stones

[@Colin-1964]

Toots & The Maytals did a TOP Reggae Version of this Tune.✌🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@Lovegun-w4s]

The song made famous by the movie "Animal House"....just awesome 💯👍😉

[@irmaoksanen6830]

Love your reactions and checking on the back stories of the artists and songs.

[@user-ph9wt3ue7c]

60s garage band classic

[@sammybeck7794]

When I was a teenager in Junior High School the lowriders would drive up and down the main drag in town on Friday nights showing off their cool paint jobs and hydraulic lifts and there was always a night where you heard this song blaring from someone's car.

[@waltw4537]

We didn't know what he was singing. It's just a fun tune with some room for interpretation. Forgot how cool the break was.. Thanks!

[@sourisvoleur4854]

Great PNW rock. All the groups in Seattle and Portland played this; it was the Kingsmen out of Portland who had the hit (and what a fabulous rendition!). Because the lyrics are so garbled, some people thought they must be dirty. It was banned in one state (I want to say Missouri but I'm not sure) because the governor said it made his ears burn to hear it.

[@TheTish]

Kick ass parties at the butler univ Delta Tau Delta house.

[@yazmon4515]

This song was played at every school dance in the 60's and beyond. The Kingsman gave the catchy riff a vocal that was mesmerizing. I do seem to remember the Kingsman with another 45 they came out with. I don't think it was much of a hit. It was The Jolly Green Giant or something like that. However, you mentioned a cover of the song by Paul Revere and the Raiders and while this wasn't one of their hits, they had quite a few garage rock type hits before they went to a more mainstream pop sound. Some early rockers by them to check are Just Like Me, Kicks and Hungry.

[@jeffjohnson9911]

Go to the original version by Richard Berry from the 50's. The only thing that was ever dirty about the lyrics was in the sick minds of some of the listeners.

[@RegenaCox-yy1rl]

Believe it or not, when I was in 7th or 8th grade ( I'm not for sure witch one exactly ) on Fridays they would let us bring records to play in music class. But they would not allow us to bring this song because of it's content.

[@DerrickCharles5750]

Mushroomhead came out with 2 new songs. One is called “Fall in Line” and the other is called “Prepackaged”. Then the band As I Lay Dying has also 2 new songs. The first one is “Burden” and the other one is “The Cave We Fear to Enter.” Plus check out some of these songs out by Imminence. Some songs like “Continuum”, “Chasing Shadows”, “Alleviate”, “Heaven Shall Burn”, “The Sickness”, “Paralyzed”, “Heaven in Hiding”, and “Ghost”. These bands are amazing. I’m sure you did some of these bands or maybe even all of them. Any of them that you didn’t do. Could you please check the ones you haven’t done yet. I apologize. Could you please check the ones you haven’t done yet. Thanks

[@librarylady13]

[@CharCanuck14]

Frat house staple!

[@thomasripley1548]

This is a garage band staple from the 60s. ,along with G l o r I a a. .,and wipeout........

[@RayEvans-j1q]

Historic song with drunken lyrics! Check out the movie: Animal House!

[@jollyrodgers7272]

EVERY BODY covered this song, from Garage bands to A List headliners like Tom Petty. This cover was actually voted as the Washington State Song. The FBI opened an investigation on The Kingsmen, as they thought these lyrics were pornographic and/or subversive!

[@jeanniedebartolo5965]

My dad’s name ❤ I named my cat after him ❤

[@StuartBearden]

The party song😊

[@32a34a]

I think the only inhabitants of this Earth that can truly understand this song is cats.

[@TheMartins-m2h]

Maybe the best garage band song of all time. Who cares what the lyrics were, just a cool song and beat.

[@rubbersole79]

Noted as the inspiration for the author of "Smells like Teen Spirit". - Kurt Cobain

[@awezman]

The lyrics were clearly not offensive(except for the accidental inclusion of the f word because the drummer messed up), the singer just slurred his words so badly that some dumb people tried to say the lyrics were offensive.

[@thekookooman1991]

Did you catch when he comes in early then stops himself at 2:49?

[@maryvanassche6945]

The best version of this song came out soon after this one by Paul Revere and the Raiders, and is much better.❤❤
