What is the meaning of the song Louie Louie?
While much of the song’s notoriety comes from the indecipherable lyrics, in Berry’s original version words are quite clear: The song is about a sailor who spends three days traveling to Jamaica to see his girl. The words to “Louie Louie” are almost impossible to understand, and are rumored to be obscene.

Was the Kingsmen’s “Louie Louie” filthy?
In retrospect, it’s easy to identify the aspects of the Kingsmen’s “Louie Louie” that made the “filthy lyrics” myth even a tiny bit plausible. The pidgin English narration of the lyrics was unusual enough, and comprehension difficulties were compounded on the Kingsmen’s recording by several factors:
What did Louie Louie say to say we gotta go?
Sayin’ we gotta go, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah. Said Louie Louie, oh baby. Said we gotta go. A fine little girl, she waits for me. Catch a ship across the sea. Sail that ship about, all alone. Never know if I make it home.
What did Louie Louie say to the little girl?
Said Louie Louie, oh baby. Said we gotta go. A fine little girl, she 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 no no. Sayin’ we gotta go, oh no.
Did Paul Revere and the Raiders write the song Louie Louie?
Ely claims that was the cause of the “garbled” lyrics, but Paul Revere and the Raiders recorded their version of “Louie Louie” in the same studio the day after the Kingsmen’s session and their partly ad-libbed lyrics are clearly heard. On August 24, 2003, 754 guitarists played this at “Louie Fest” in Tacoma, Washington.
