There’s a bit of LOUIE LOUIE in the song “Speeding Motorcycle” by Daniel Johnston. Or maybe “El Loco Cha Cha.” Or maybe “Wild Thing.” Or maybe all of the above.<\/p>\n
Craig Bonnell has a blog<\/a> that mentions the “Speeding Motorcycle” or “Speedy Motorcycle” performed by Daniel Johnston with Yo La Tengo as a telephone collaboration at WFMU radio. Over at the French Blog Up<\/a> site, there’s a direct link to that version, and an acoustic version performed in France. The second version has more of a LOUIE LOUIE groove to it. As I can’t read French, I tried out the Google French-English translation robots <\/a>, which provides an approximation for French illiterates such as myself.<\/p>\n Neither blog acknowledged the LOUIE connection, but I could spot this thing a mile away.<\/p>\n A tip of the hat goes out to Laksshimi Rosencranz for the heads up!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There’s a bit of LOUIE LOUIE in the song “Speeding Motorcycle” by Daniel Johnston.
