about

I was reading about the old standard Louie Louie and blown away by the fact that the third chord isn't just the fifth but the minor fifth. I listened to the Kingsmen version for the first time ever (this year, mind you) and, damn me, if it wasn't true. I wrote a riff that stopped short of including the third chord until the end of each half verse which would be an unexpected chord and the chorus would be a compressed version of that. It was lying around for a while before I thought of the words and once I'd worked out what I wanted to do with it I was able to work them out in half an hour. The Latin curse in the middle was done with Google Translate. I had no one at all in mind when I wrote the lyric (that's not sarcasm, I tend not to write about particular people). The title bears tribute to Louie Louie (it's a kind of Australian pet form of the name)
