It's coming

[O Really]

Exactly how does one go about celebrating the day tomorrow? Throw a toga party with kegs and Purple Jesus?

You keep asking that, old man.

So generally what does one do to celebrate LL day? Other than drink, of course. And play the song.

I believe that's about it. There was a parade once

"April 1, 1985 – First annual WMMR Louie Louie Parade in Philadelphia (canceled in 1989 due to excessive rowdiness)."

Maybe you shouldn't drink quite as much this year.

You could start your circuit earlier than normal, Tacoma:

LouieFest

... LouieFest celebrates the legacy of the much beloved three-chord sensation by closing every festival with the audience participating as an ensemble, playing “Louie Louie” in unison, rock and roll's eternally youthful anthem of the Baby Boomer generation.

How can you resist? Next year.

Every day is Louie Louie day at my house.

So I don't remember last years celebration. Alternatives would be that I was shit-faced as might be appropriate for a Louie Louie celebration, or that I blew it off entirely. This year I guess I should at least play the song.

I knew it!

We could all agree to play it at, say, 10 pm EDT, a virtual BRD Louie Louie party!

Not sure how many versions I'll play for the party. Got a top 3? I like your pick, probably the first I ever heard:

Let the wild rumpus start

Here's the real original. Not nearly as fun as the classic Kingsmen version

Agreed. You can understand the words.

[O Really]

Chapel Hill party band Doug Clark and the Hot Nuts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_Clar ... e_Hot_Nuts
did a Louie Louie version that was not likely ever recorded. Definitely not the original lyrics.

Different song, but performance sample.

3 sounds good.
Do we vote for 3, or should each of us have our own 3.

Rockin' Robin Roberts & The Wailers - "Louie Louie" (1961) is pretty good

Toots and the Maytals add a little reggae

I think we have to have our own 3. Voting is a hassle and it's not like we have an enforcement mechanism. I'll double check your 2 additions and will probably settle on them.

I'll nominate Meat Loaf (25 times in concerts), Springsteen, and Blondie.

Love her, don't love this version.

Horses (1975), her debut, is on my list for one of the all-time greatest albums - "the first punk rock album".

oh baby, me gotta go

Settled.

The Kingsmen for nostalgia.
