Louie, Louie Ok. Do technically some words are close to English but the song is sing so unintelligibly that it may as well be a foreign language |

Geesh. I should've taken a moment to proof read the above post. Eye, finger, iPhone keyboard malfunctions made my post above read as almost a different language.

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.

Volare by Dominick ?.
I guess I'm showing my age as I can't remember his exact last name. He became Italy's prime minister or something like that. |

Everything sung by Bob Dylan was unintelligible. Foreign language? No, but it may as well have been. I'm just sayin.

There are thousands of them, though most were not hits in this country!
