When is International Louie Day?
Tuesday April 11thDAY FOR INTERNATIONAL LOUIE DAY. INTERNATIONAL LOUIE DAY.
International Louie Day is celebrated on April 11 by Louie Day and is promoted by the Louie website as International Louie Day.
Louie was written by R&B singer Richard Berry in 1955 and was published by R&B singer Richard Berry in 1955. In 1957, his band, "The Pharaohs," was recorded and released it. It gained some airplay on the band's home turf around San Francisco and became very popular in the pacific northwest. Other garage bands covered it up and became a somewhat common party tune in the western states.
The Kingsmen's recording was the subject of an FBI probe into the possible, but nonexistent, obscenity of the lyrics. The probe ended without charge... The lyrics in Berry's original recording are very straightforward; it's a song about a sailor who spends three days in Jamaica to see his girl. Louie, a bartender, told the tale. In the original version, there was nothing even remotely offensive..
