Hilarious, I like how the two guys on the pianos actually seem to be bopping their heads to the beat sometimes and the old people having a good time dancing. Sterling Morrison pointed out that it is a good song to dance to.

I heard that Lawrence Welk once covered Louie Louie. Apparently his version was called Louis Louis.

So this is the guy Lenny Bruce was taking the piss out of all those years ago? Ahhhhh

We Europeans didn't get his brand of lounge-pop. We did get James Last though....

Well, I do have a Lawrence Welk CD that's disguised as "World's Favorite Polkas" but REALLY plays The Sex Pistols' "Rock and Roll Swindle" - I can't imagine what the target audience thought of THAT! LOL.

The Shags have a version called Louis Louis.
