Louie Louie is in English. The lyrics were very simple and had no story behind the song, so The Kingsman's destorted guitar drowned out the singer and lyrics. (perhaps on purpose because of the dumb lyrics) One of the main reasons it was a bit hit was because people tried to figure out the words. I bought the record and played it at 33 rpm trying to get the words. It wasn't until DJ Murray The K was giving out the lyrics if you sent him a self stamp return envelope.
