Louie Louie (1963) – The Kingsmen
Me gotta go
Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said
Louie Louie, oh baby
Me gotta go
今天為大家介紹的版本是由1963年由美國組合 The Kingsmen 在1963年唱出，歌曲Louie Louie長達2分42秒，類型屬於車庫搖滾Garage Rock。他們把原本歌曲R&B的風格改為車庫搖滾Garage Rock風格，作品令他們打入當時流行曲排行榜，這個成功全賴原唱作者Richard Berry，填詞作曲一手包辦。另外，Louie Louie歌曲其後被收錄於專輯《The Kingsmen In Person》。
這首歌曲有無數翻唱的版本，較知名的版本應該是The Kingsmen，充滿流行樂及搖滾的元素，獨特的唱腔版本備受關注。值得一提的是，製作歌曲只用了五十美金，便能引來這麼大的回迴響。據稱在錄製過程，只需一次就完成錄製，1 Take過，無NG。另外，該版本歌曲基於不雅歌詞及淫穢意思，被當時美國FBI調查，所以在當時電台是禁播。
歌詞方面
填詞作曲由Richard Berry(原唱)一手包辦
Louie Louie, oh no
Me gotta go
Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said
Louie Louie, oh baby
Me gotta go
Fine little girl waits for me
Catch a ship across the sea
Sail that ship about, all alone
Never know if I make it home
Louie Louie, oh no
Me gotta go
Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said
Louie Louie, oh baby
Me gotta go
Three nights and days I sail the sea
Think of girl, constantly
On that ship, I dream she’s there
I smell the rose in her hair.
Louie Louie, oh no
Me gotta go
Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said
Louie Louie, oh baby
Me gotta go
Okay, let’s give it to ’em, right now!
See Jamaica, the moon above
It won’t be long, me see me love
Take her in my arms again
Tell her I’ll never leave again
Louie Louie, oh no
Me gotta go
Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said
Louie Louie, oh baby
Me gotta go
Let’s take it on outta here now
Let’s go!
