Louie Louie by Iggy Pop

Genre: Pop
Year: 2007

"Louie Louie" is an American rock n roll song written by Richard Berry in 1955. It has become a standard in pop and rock, with hundreds of versions recorded by different artists. The song is written in the style of a Jamaican ballad; and tells, in simple verse-chorus form, the first-person story of a Jamaican sailor returning to the island to see his lady love. A recording by The Kingsmen in 1963 is the best-known version. The Kingsmens edition was also the subject of an FBI investigation about the supposed but non-existent obscenity of the lyrics, an investigation that ended without prosecution. The song is ranked #55 on the Rolling Stone magazines list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". Read full article at wikipedia.org
