Motörhead's "Louie Louie" hit the shops on August 25, 1978, and it's Richard Berry's song, words and music both, hauled into the band's own engine room. The three-man lineup does the damage: Lemmy Kilmister sings lead and plays electric bass, Eddie Clarke handles the electric guitar, and Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor pounds the drums.
The band kept a firm grip on the controls, too. Kilmister, Clarke and Taylor share the producer credit with Neil Richmond, so what's on the tape is Motörhead the way Motörhead wanted it.
