Black Out Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Louie Louie, oh no
Me gotta go
Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said
Louie Louie, oh baby
Me gotta go
Fine little girl waits for me
Sail that ship about, all alone
Never know if I make it home
CHORUS:
Louie Louie, oh no
Me gotta go
Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said
Louie Louie, oh baby
Me gotta go
Three nights and days I sail the sea
Think of girl, constantly
On that ship, I dream she's there
I smell the rose in her hair.
CHORUS:
Louie Louie, oh no
Me gotta go
Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said
Louie Louie, oh baby
Me gotta go
Okay, let's give it to 'em, right now!
GUITAR SOLO
See Mustique, the moon above
It won't be long, me see me love
Take her in my arms again
Tell her I'll never leave again
CHORUS:
Louie Louie, oh no
Me gotta go
Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said
Louie Louie, oh baby
Me gotta go
Let's take it on outa here now
Let's go!!
The song "Louie Louie" by the Black Out Band is a classic example of a song with simple lyrics but a catchy tune that has stood the test of time. The song seems to be about a man who is in love with a girl but has to go away, possibly for work or military service. He thinks of her constantly, smells the rose in her hair, and dreams about her while on the ship. The chorus of the song, which is repeated several times, is "Louie Louie, oh no, me gotta go, aye-yi-yi-yi, I said, Louie Louie, oh baby, me gotta go". This chorus seems to suggest that he doesn't want to leave but has to, and it adds to the poignancy of the song.
One interesting fact about the song is that it was written by Richard Berry in 1955 and was originally a calypso-style tune. However, the version that most people know and love is the one recorded by the Kingsmen in 1963, which has a more rock and roll feel. Another interesting fact is that the lyrics of the song were at one point deemed "obscene" and were even investigated by the FBI. However, after an extensive investigation, they were found to be completely innocent. Despite this, the song is still often associated with wild parties and drunken revelry, which probably has more to do with the energy and catchiness of the tune than the content of the lyrics.
In terms of chords, "Louie Louie" is a fairly simple song to play. It is typically played in the key of A, and the chords are A, D, and E. It is a great song for beginners to learn and can be played in a variety of styles and tempos. Overall, "Louie Louie" is a classic song that has stood the test of time and continues to be enjoyed by people of all ages and musical tastes.
