April has two significant meanings for the song Louie Louie - the original recording by Richard Berry and the Pharaohs was released in April of 1957, and The Kingsmen released recorded the most famous rendition in April of 1963. Hence, the celebration of Louie Louie on the last edition of NonDescript to air in April.
That’s an entire hour of Louie, Louie - in the spirit of KFJC and KALX dueling Louie Louie marathons of 1983.
A quick correction - I mention during the program that The Kingsmen released their rendition of Louie Louie in April of 1965. This is incorrect - they recorded the tune in April of 1965, and it was released later that same year. Mistakes were made.
The show airs Tuesdays @ 9am PDT. Listen live on KCSB-FM 91.9 in Santa Barbara, or via KCSB’s webcast. Or sign up for the podcast below.
