My New Video: What Makes This Song Awesome? LOUIE LOUIE (Not a Deal)


Reid Rosefelt

Recommended Posts

LOUIE LOUIE is universally considered the most awesome song of all time.    But why?

In this video, I do a deep dive on the granular level into the myriad reasons LOUIE LOUIE has no peer in the awesomeness department.
Even if you have no knowledge at all of music theory or of music or of theory, I promise you will learn a lot from my probing analysis.

PS I used EZBass for the first time for the theme song.  It was super EZ to use.

Back in the day, the final set of a Frat gig was Louie Louie, Gloria, and Satisfaction. The Frat boys would line up to take their turn “singing”? their favorite. Good thing 55’s, 57’s and 58’s are nearly indestructible. More than once (must have been one frat in particular) 8mm porn would play on the wall behind the band. 
All the beer we could nic, porn, and $75 bucks split 5 ways; not a bad night for a bunch of 14/15 year old kids...

and now evidence subliminal music theory edumacation as well

PRICELESS!

@Reid Rosefelt You know you want/must follow with Gloria

 I love GLORIA as much as I love LOUIE LOUIE and it is as much an important part of my youth, but I don't know what I  can come up with. Maybe I'll think of something someday. 

Anyway,  I take my position as a YouTube non-influencer seriously and I think I should look for something else that could use the power boost from my less than 300 subscribers.

GLORIA doesn't need the massive publicity push it would get from a Tiger recommendation.

Great video Reid - I especially liked your analysis on the lyrics.

I take it you don't like strats? ?

Hah!  I love Strats but mine is a cheapie and pretty bad.   I think I paid around a $150 bucks for it.    Too much.

That said, it is better than I described it. I often use it for other songs than LOUIE LOUIE.   I often mix it in my music to give a hint of realism to my virtual guitars
