REQUEST: Louie Louie lyrics
Paul Blecha
don't remember where I found them, but here are a few of them:
On September 10th, each of the presidential campaigns was
given a recording of the Kingsmen's 1963 classic party song, "Louie
Louie". Each candidate was asked to do his best at deciphering the
totally indecipherable lyrics. We found the results veeeery
revealing. Below are the actual lyrics as written by R. Berry in
1955:
Louie Louie, me gotta go
Louie Louie, me gotta go
Fine little girl she waits for me
Me catch the ship for cross the sea
Me sail the ship all alone
Me never thinks me make it home
(chorus)
Three nights and days me sail the sea
Me think of girl constantly
On the ship I dream she there
I smell the rose in her hair
(chorus, guitar solo)
Me see Jamaica moon above
It won't be long, me see my love
I take her in my arms and then
Me tell her I never leave again
[Editors Note. The lyrics are also reprinted in _The Straight Dope_
by Cecil Adams on page 317. --TWC]
The lyrics to "Louie Louie" as heard by Michael Dukakis:
Louie oo-i, we go go
Louie oo-i, we go go
If I lip curl away afro bee
Catsup (expletive) cross from me
Me sail ship o' state all alone
Mar-aschino cherries at home
(chorus)
Greek mice he fail to see
Need more tax, oh frequently
Kitty she lead me ev'rywhere <---- AHA!
Ring in my-a nose, falafel hair
(chorus, etc)
..As heard by George Bush:
Louie Lou-i, Winne-bago
Louie Lou-i, Winne-bago
The wimp thing no no me
Me catch shrapnel o'er sea
Me toss Ann Richards a bone
Meaner stinks meat bake it cone <--- ?
(chorus, garbled stanza)
Mes-sy Paul Anka moons a dove <--- Must mean something! ed.
Ted Kennedy along, me like to shove
Take Bent-sen and qualms begin
Iran-Contra thing makes me phlegm
(chorus)
..As heard by Bill D. Cat:
Louie Lou-i, ne ga go <--- reveals a simple honesty
Louie Lou-i, ne ga go
Ee fi li curl way fra nee <--- reveals a simple honesty
Ee cat-ta shi fo kra-see
Ne sait a shi auuuu lome
Ee newa fwo ma-make I ome
(chorus)
Ree nie (garbled) ail zee
Me tink (garbled) ee (garbled)
(garbled) dwee Li'l Friskies
(garbled) ack
(garbled)
(guitar solo)
That's it. I hope this was entertaining. All the arrows and stuff in
parentheses is in the original strip, including the part that says
"expletive". Too bad Bloom County ended though.. I like it better
than "Outland".

What about Iggy Pop's verson from Metallic KO?
[from memory:]
Louie Louie, Oh baby
And away I go!
A fine little bitch
She's waitin' for me
Just a little whore
Across the way
Every night I take her
To pump all alone
She's not the kind of girl
You'd lay at home
Louie Louie, Oh baby
And away I go
Now take it down
Take it *way* down!
She got a rag on
So I move above
It won't be long before
she takes it off
I feel a rose
Down in her hair
Her ass is black
And her tit's are bare
Louie Louie, Oh baby
And away I go!
Had to be done,
