One of the things I hope to eventually prove with this LOUIE documentary project of mine is that LOUIE LOUIE is indeed the world’s most recorded song of all mankind. <\/strong> <\/p>\n

In the past, Guiness World Records made the big claim that Paul McCartney<\/strong>‘s “Yesterday” was the world’s most recorded song. <\/p>\n

Frankly, as much as I love Paul McCartney and Beatles<\/strong> music (which I absolutely do), I’ve never understood how anyone could arrive at this conclusion. <\/p>\n

I’ve heard a few different cover versions by musicians performing “Yesterday,” but there was nowhere near the type of enthusiasm that I’ve seen with the song LOUIE LOUIE. I’ve witnessed some serious passion for LOUIE LOUIE, starting off with a 63 hour marathon that played over 800 versions, continuing with various LOUIE LOUIE parades, LOUIE LOUIE festivals, and even a world-wide effort to declare a special INTERNATIONAL LOUIE LOUIE DAY.<\/p>\n

I wondered … did anyone ever feel this kind of dedicated enthusiasm for “Yesterday?” <\/p>\n

Thanks to Dangerous Minds<\/a>, I’ve discovered that someone did indeed share a similar type of dedication by sharing a 10 hour compilation of recordings of the song “Yesterday,” via the YouTube community. It’s a rather impressive testament to the song that demonstrates that there is indeed a dedicated base for this very special song.<\/p>\n
