What is really weird is this was recorded by the Kingsmen in 1963 in Portland Oregon.

He sounds so much like Ray Davies of the Kinks. The Kinks hit it big in Aug 1964 with You Really Got Me. They had earlier songs but I doubt Portland heard of them time 1964.

Looks what I found:

According to Ray Davies, the song’s characteristic riff came about while working out the chords of The Kingsmen’s “Louie Louie.”

So You Really Got Me - was soemwhat based on or at least insipred by Louie Louie.

That Louie Louie had obscene lyrics is a religious belief for some, it doesn’t matter if you show them the actual lyrics, they will still swear that the song was sung dirty by the Kingsmen. Its as if you are taking something of their childhood away by debunking the myth.
