The reasoning was that if you listened to a full weekend of non-stop  LOUIE LOUIE for 63 hours,  you would appreciate the irony of a &#8220;No LOUIE LOUIE&#8221; symbol.  <\/p>\n<p>Maybe it&#8217;s like the crucifix symbol used to represent Christian beliefs.   People wearing the crucifix don&#8217;t actually support the idea of actual crucifications, but the symbol is used as a reminder of important history.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.louielouie.net\/pix-2006\/r-berry-nolouie-radio.jpg\" alt=\"Richard Berry on KFJC Radio\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Whatever the case, songwriter Richard Berry loved the &#8220;No LOUIE LOUIE&#8221; symbol, and proudly wore his &#8220;No LOUIE LOUIE&#8221; t-shirt wherever he went.   He absolutely appreciated the joke.  Here&#8217;s a photo of him wearing one of these shirts, while being interviewed by DJ Stretch Riedle during the KFJC Maximum LOUIE LOUIE marathon. <\/p>\n<p>So, whether you are a fan of this song, or just want to send a gag gift to someone that thinks that LOUIE LOUIE is a terrible song, your online purchase will provide some extra revenue that can be used towards production of the upcoming MEANING OF LOUIE.<\/p>\n<p>So go take a look at the  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cafepress.com\/nolouielouie\">&#8220;No LOUIE LOUIE&#8221; merchandise page<\/a>, and <strong>spend money!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While I may no longer be selling full bottles of LOUIE LOUIE wine coolers over the internet, I&#8217;ve now got something else to offer folks that want to pick up more LOUIE&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43,22,11,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-158","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-kfjc","category-louie-universe","category-production-at-louie-central","category-richard-berry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.louielouie.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.louielouie.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.louielouie.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.louielouie.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.louielouie.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=158"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.louielouie.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1343,"href":"https:\/\/www.louielouie.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158\/revisions\/1343"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.louielouie.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.louielouie.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=158"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.louielouie.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
