EP2: The Kingsmen "Louie Louie"

from The History of Heavy Podcast

"Louie Louie" is the most covered song of all-time and one of the earliest garage rock seeds to ultimately sprout punk rock, heavy metal and many of their sub-genres. Among the heaviest versions recorded include those by Motörhead, The Stooges and, Black Flag none of whom may have even existed without The Kingsmen's ragged version of Richard Berry's 1956 original. On episode 2 Mike and Dave discuss their love of the song and its importance in the heavy canon.        Recommended Listening, watching & reading   The Trashmen "Surfin Bird" (1963) https://youtu.be/9Gc4QTqslN4?si=9GJnERZDaTQjWDZa     The History of Heavy Podcast Spotify Playlist  Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2qkURdYib8hLz8s20D9yTC?si=1526168526854a62   HHP Social IG: https://instagram.com/the_history_of_heavy BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/mhuntsman.bsky.social
