LOUIE LOUIE in french
Date: 2024-03-21

Louie Louie, to wish a Happy Birthday from France to Richard Berry (born on April 11, 1935) !

Jean-Pierre Poulin: Boss BR-600 drum machine, Korg R3 synthesizer, tenor recorder and vocals (in french).
Nicolas Pennarun: rhythm guitar and solo guitar.
(His website: http://pennarun.nicolas.free.fr/)
Babouchka Bab: blues harp.
The little choir of the Prebends Garden in Tours: backing vocals.

As in the original version, the french lyrics are not so easy to understand...
It's a mix of french, slang and creole.
And to please the FBI there's even an allusion to Cuban missiles. 😎
And of course some obscene female moans!
