"Jamaican sailor returning to his island to see his lady love"! You gotta be kidding. We've all listened to this thing and if you had phrased a question "What popular song was about...", not one soul could have possibly guessed it correctly. But since Kingston is the Jamaican capital, and the rockers called themselves The Kingsmen, maybe you've got something there.

The largest band consisting of players from child to elderly would form and play this as part of the Rose Parade in Portland, Oregon.

Paul Revere and the Raiders also recorded "Louie, Louie". In fact, they recorded their version in the same studio the same week as The Kingsmen.

If Chuck Berry was a close second there must be a lot of people who have no idea what he actually sounded like. No one remembers Blueberry Hill?
