"Louie Louie" is Motörhead's title track of their third single. It was released as a 7" vinyl single in 1978.
The reverse cover carries the dog Latin motto "NIL ILLEGITUM CARBORUNDUM", which is humorously said to mean "Don't let the bastards grind you down".
"Louie, Louie", originally written by Richard Berry is covered with "Tear Ya Down" and appears later on the CD re-issues of Overkill and The Best Of Motörhead compilation.
On Oct 25, 1978 a pre-recording of the band playing this song was broadcast on the BBC TV Top of the Pops show.[1]
