Louie Louie was a song written by Richard Berry, and is one of the most simple rock tunes to play. In the 1960s, it was also a highly-requested song and very much overplayed (it has been considered the original "Smells Like Teen Spirit", for example).

Louie Louie was also musically quoted by FZ ad nauseum, alternatively praised and loathed by him due to it's simple harmony and catchy melody, and because it was overplayed so much.
