| The Kingsmen | Louie Louie | Louie Louie, oh no We gotta go Aye-yi-yi-yi Louie Louie, oh baby We gotta go. | So starts probably one of the most understood lyrics songs of the 1960's, but a definite party classic. "Louie Louie" was from a true garage band (and one of the first) from Portland, Oregon named the Kingsmen (at the time, in 1963 when the song was recorded, the members were: vocalist/rhythm guitarist Jack Ely, drummer Lynn Easton, guitarist Mike Mitchell, pianist Don Galluci and bassist Bob Nordby). "Louie Louie" deliberately sung by Ely as though he was drunk reached all the way to #2 for six weeks in December 1963 and January 1964. "Louie Louie" also has one of the most memorable and probably most copied beginning guitar riffs of all time. There is still a group called the Kingsmen still around, but it isn't the same group that recorded, "Louie Louie" back in 1963. - Peter | |||

| The Kinks | You Really Got Me | Girl, you really got me goin', You got me so I don't know what I'm doin'. | The Kinks are a British band, that during the years 1964 - 1965 were competing well with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones in Great Britian, but had only modest success in the States at that time. But the Kinks, or more specifically lead singer (and the writer for most of their tunes), Ray Davies (who would continue to lead the group amid several line-up changes), would continue to have chart success in both Britain and the United States and worldwide well into the 1980's (with such hits as "Lola" & "Come Dancing"). Unfortunately the Kinks have been one of those rare groups, that despite having chart success, have yet to have a #1 song on Billboard Magazine's HOT 100 charts. "You Really Got Me", originally released in August 1964 and having success in both the States and Britain, has been covered by many artists over the years, with probably the most well-known and recognizable one (at least to Classic Rock station listeners) being Van Halen's 1978 version that didn't change a thing with the lyrics. - Peter | |||

| Kiss | Beth | Beth, I hear you calling, but I can't come home right now. | "Beth" was the flip side of the "Detroit Rock City" single from their first 1976 album Destroyer that surprisingly got more airplay than the intended single. - Vic George | |||
