Everyone knows that "Louie Louie" is one of the most covered songs of all time, possibly the most. Black Flag, who did not perform very many covers, have released no fewer than three distinct versions of "Louie Louie": the single version (which is probably the best known of their versions), the version that appears on the Everything Went Black record, and the live version with Henry Rollins on vocals which appeared on the live album Who's Got the 10 1/2?
All three of these versions have different lyrics, none of which come close to matching the original lyrics. All of them are good, but I prefer the EWB version- the musical performance is slightly tighter and the lyrics have better pacing with the music.
