Composer Richard Berry Jr.
Released 1957-04-??
Title Origin Official

Louie Louie is a song composed by Richard Berry, and is most notably performed by The Kingsmen. The song became infamous for its unintelligible lyrics, and at one point was even a concern of the FBI due to misinterpretation of the lyrics.

When Epyx was developing their title California Games, most versions of the games used an arrangement of the song at the title screen. However, the Amstrad CPC, MSX, and ZX Spectrum versions don't have music, and the Sega Genesis version has new music altogether.
