And, of course, the version our band did in high school!!

I hope that wasn't the marching band! Did you ever see that compilation album of a bunch of different versions of "Louie Louie"? They even had a cut of a marching band playing that timeless classic!

Hah!! No, not the marching band, our local five-guys-with-guitars, drums and amps band. And yes, I have heard that "Louie Louie" marching band thing on Rhino records. I think that is where the kazoo version also made its debut. Remember The Kingsmen's follow up to "Louie Louie" was "Money" and then "Valley Of The Jolly Green Giant." Paul Revere and the Raiders had a competing Pacific NW version of "Louie" that didn't make it as far.
