My pal Andy Martello wrote about a LOUIE LOUIE experience on his Tales from AndyLand Blog:
This really only applies to people like me and thankfully, there are precious few of us.
If while in your car, you are listening to an mp3 disc filled with versions of LOUIE LOUIE (about 233 of them to be exact), and your cell phone rings, you may not hear it immediately. This has little to do with the fact that the music is so loud inside the car. It has a lot to do with the fact that your cell phone ring tone is also LOUIE LOUIE.
I’ve had a lot of people email me, asking just where they could get a LOUIE LOUIE ringtone. I really don’t know the answer, but if you pester Andy, I’m sure he can tell you.
I got mine from At&T wireless (Now Cingular) directly from their website. The At&T addy seems to be gone now, but if you go to your cell provider’s website and do a search on ringtones you shoudl be able to find Louie Louie.
It cost me .99 to get the thing, but it was worth it.
Big mistake…I threw out my old cell phone, forgetting it had a different LL ringtone than the one on my current phone. So I lost a version!
