Songs with a "Louie, Louie" riff

A while back we head a thread about songs with a Bo Diddley beat; now how's about naming songs with that inimitable A-D-Em-D chord progression?

"Louie, Louie" - Kingsmen (and others)
"Wild Thing" - Troggs
"Guantanamera" - Sandpipers
"La Bamba" - Richie Valens
"Twist And Shout" - Isley Brothers
"Hang On Sloopy" - McCoys
"Get Off Of My Cloud" - Rolling Stones
"You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" - Righteous Brothers

Others?

 

"Farmer John" - Premiers

 

I Do the Rock--Tim Curry. I think. I don't really know chords...sounds like it though.

 

Have Love Will Travel - - Richard Berry ... not too surprising since he wrote "Louie Louie".

 

I was thinking THAT one as I read the thread header...

and you can add "Beg, Borrow and Steal" by Ohio Express (er, Rare Breed).

 

It's early in the morning... If I am wrong forgive me, but
how about.....

She's Waiting - Eric Clapton

 

What are the initial chords to Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit"?

 

"Beg Borrow & Steal" - The Rare Breed, as readily found on the Nuggets box set.

Not just the same progression, but the exact same riff

 

Boston: More Than A Feeling

 

I'll have to look it up, but there was a book written a few years ago about the phenomenon of "Louie, Louie" and listed all of the popular songs that are "based" on that rhythm.

 

It was by Dave Marsh, I believe.
Some more "Louie Louie"-influenced songs:

You Really Got Me
All Day and All of the Night

 

Since You've Been Gone-Rainbow

 

Ron, if I play Smells Like Teen Spirit, the chords are F, A sharp, G sharp, C sharp. Nothing like Louie, Louie (except that both are extremely simple).

Frank Zappa's Plastic People is basically Louie Louie with different lyrics, but that's on purpose. In fact, he was a little obsessed with the song himself.

 

Yes. I covered that exact song on a recent thread that covered songs that borrowed from other songs (sounds like...)

There is a Louie Louie website:

Thanks. I was thinking maybe the initial salvo might be those chords, but obviously not!

 

Kinks - "The Moneygoround."
