Miles says he wrote it; Bird got the album credit, somehow. It is said to be named after Curly Russell's daughter.

A standard standard that all jazz cats practice like crazy.

from Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy

The third Return to Forever album, no Flora, no Farrell, no Airto ...

This tune -- the album closer -- is in the Phrygian mode, something Chick often used -- is hard, driving, almost furious, with Chick and Connors trading fours. It's all solid fusion.

26 Versions

Three-chord rock and roll was invented not by The Kingsmen (as many believe), but by Richard Berry -- who wrote the song in 1955, recorded it in '56, and released it in '57.

Berry based the song on an Afro-Cuban cover by René Touzet titled El Loco Cha Cha, which itself was based on the tune Amarren al Loco ("Tie Up the Madman") by Cuban bandleader Rosendo Ruiz.

1. El Loco Cha Cha (1955)
René Touzet
(3:01)

Ahí viene el loc, que amarren al loco
Que yo no quiero tener problemas con ese loco
Ahí viene el loc, que amarren al loco
Que yo no quiero tener problemas con ese loco

La gente se está volviendo loca
Nadie sabe dónde iremos a parar
Y según el comentario de la calle
La culpa la tiene el cha cha chá

Díselo porque se va a bailar el cha cha chá

Here comes the lunatic, they should tie up that lunatic
I don't want to have problems with that lunatic
Here comes the lunatic, they should tie up that lunatic
I don't want to have problems with that lunatic

People are going crazy
No one knows where we're going to stop
And according to the word on the street
The cha cha chá is to blame

Tell him why he's going to dance the cha cha chá

Louie Louie
Me gotta go
Louie Louie
Me gotta go

Fine little girl she wait for me
Ya catch the ship across the sea
I sail the ship, all alone
I never think I'll make it home

Louie Louie
Me gotta go
Louie Louie
Me gotta go

Three nights and days me sail the sea
Me think of girl, constantly
On that ship, I dream she there
I smell the rose in her hair

Louie Louie
Me gotta go
Well, Louie Louie, oh baby
Me gotta go

Me see Jamaica, the moon above
It won't be long, me see me love
Me take her in my arms and then
I tell her -- ah -- I never leave again

Louie Louie
Me gotta go
Louie Louie
Me gotta go
I say me gotta go

Me gotta go
Me gotta go

Berry sold the rights to Max Feirtag, the head of Flip Records, for $750, to raise cash for his upcoming wedding.

3. Rockin' Robin Roberts and the Wailers (1961)
RRR, vocals
Richard Dangel, guitar
Kent Morrill, keyboards, vocal
Mark Marush, tenor saxophone
John Ormsby, bass
Mike Burk, drums
(2:41)

Roberts died young in a car accident in 1967. Dave Marsh (The History and Mythology of the World's Most Famous Rock'n'Roll song; including the Full Details of its Torture and Persecution at the Hands of the Kingsmen, J. Edgar Hoover's F.B.I., and a Cast of Millions; and introducing, for the First Time Anywhere, the Actual Dirty Lyrics [Hyperion] 1992) dedicated the book "For Richard Berry, who gave birth to this unruly child, and Rockin' Robin Roberts, who first raised it to glory."

4. The Kingsmen (1963)
Lynn Easton, vocal, drums, saxophone
Jack Ely, guitar, vocals
Mike Mitchell, guitar
Bob Nordby, bass
Don Gallucci, keyboards
(2:45)

A wonderful "mistake" occurs here, when Ely begins his vocal too soon.

5. Paul Revere the Raiders (1963)
PR, keyboards
Mark Lindsay, saxophone, vocals
Drake Levin, guitar
Mike "Doc" Holliday, bass
Mike Smitty Smith, drums
(2:47)

Lewis Steinberg, bass
Al Jackson Jr., drums
Wayne Jackson, trumpet
Packy Axton, tenor saxophone
Floyd Newman, baritone saxophone
(2:07)

from his debut album Pain in My Heart.

8. The Angels (1964)
(2:29)

The first girl group to cover the song. Their big hit was My Boyfriend's Back (1963).

9. The Kinks (1964)
Dave Davies, vocals, guitar
Pete Quaife, vocals, bass
Mick Avory, drums, percussion
Ray Davies, vocals, guitar, harmonica, keyboards
(2:57)

A little slower and draggy, it's not quite on level of their bigger hit, You Really Got Me.

10. The Sandpipers (1966)
(2:45)

Easy listening, You knew it had to happen.

11. Travis Wammack (1966)
(2:10)

And you also knew an instrumental version was sure to appear. He reportedly achieved that fuzztone by playing through an overdriven drive-in movie speaker.

12. The Sonics (1966)
Gerry Roslie, keyboards, vocals
Andy Parypa, bass, vocals
Larry Parypa, guitar, vocals
Rob Lind, saxophone, vocals
Bob Bennett, drums
(2:57)

An interesting take, with a completely different harmonic changes. Instead of the usual I-IV-V-IV, they do I-bIII-IV-bIII (B-Flat/D-Flat/E-Flat/D-Flat). Raunchy.

13. Mongo Santamaría (1967)
(2:18)

And, of course, someone had to come around and bring the tune back to its original Afro-Cuban roots. Some great blaring trumpet playing, here.

14. Frank Zappa (1967)
    FZ, guitar, vocals
Ray Collins, vocals
Jimmy Carl Black, drums
Roy Estrada, bass
Don (Dom De Wild) Preston, The Mighty & Majestic Albert Hall pipe organ
Ian Underwood, alto saxophone
(2:19)

Zappa called the riff "The Archetypal American Musical Icon."

Jay Dee Daugherty, drums
(1:15)

Primal.

17. Jon the Postman (1977)
(13:32)

Are you kidding me? Thirteen minutes of this guy? Bring on the root canal.

"Before punk it was like you had to have a double degree in music. It was a liberation for someone like me who was totally unmusical but wanted to have a go."

Okay, now go. Please.

18. Motörhead (1978)
Lemmy, bass, vocals
"Fast" Eddie Clarke, guitar
Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor, drums
(2:47)

I'm getting a headache.

19. Bruce Springsteen (1978)

The Boss rocks out.

20. Black Flag (1981)
Dez Cadena, vocals
Henry Rollins, vocals

Chuck Dukowski, bass
Roberto "ROBO" Valverde, drums
(1:18)

Mercifully brief.

21. Stanley Clarke and George Duke (1981)
SC, bass, guitar, vocals
GD, keyboards, vocals
John Frederick Robinson, drums
(5:06)

A couple of real muzishins take hold of the old chestnut. Duke's solos (staccato synth and funky piano) are severely understated.

22. Barry White (1981)
(7:25)

Up-tempo Latin groove -- "Comin' home, Jamaaaica!"

The composer (Berry) loved it, saying he thought that White finally brought to life his original vision of "all the timbales and congas going."

23. The Fat Boys (1988)
(4:27)

Hip hop. "I want that fat-ternity closed down," says an old white dude on the phone. The video -- Animal House-style -- is hilarious. The lyrics pointedly focus on the 60's mania about the "dirty lyrics." (The FBI spent over two years trying to figure it out) ... very tight backing.

24. Coupe de Ville (1990) (film)
(2:50)

Patrick Dempsey, Arye Gross and Daniel Stern argue about the lyrics. Hilarious!

25. Iggy Pop (1993)
IP, guitar, vocals
Eric Schermerorn, guitar
Malcom Burn, guitar, harmonica, keyboards
Hal Cragin, bass
Larry Mullins, drums, percussion
(3:48)

Some nice lyrics substitutions:

And now, the news

The communist world is fallin' apart
The capitalists are just breakin' hearts
Money is the reason to be
It makes me just wanna sing, Louie Louie

And a fine little girl, she is waitin' for me
But I'm as bent as Dostoevsky
I think about the meaning of my life again
And I have to sing Louie Louie again

Oh man, I dunno, like man, you know
I dunno like health insurance
And the homeless and world peace
And AIDS and education, I mean that
I'm tryin' to do right but hey
Life after Bush and Gorbachev
The wall is down but something is lost
Turn on the news, it looks like a movie
It makes me wanna sing, Louie Louie

26. The Three Amigos (1999)
Dylan Amlot
Milroy Nadarajah
Marc Williams
(3:38)

The band broke up and Nadarajah turned to crime and in 2004 was sentenced to seven years for supplying cocaine to a London drug gang.

Half Nelson (1956)
MD, trumpet

(4:48)

from Workin' with the Miles Davis Quintet

Very cool early MD bop. A momentous head which features off-beat 1/8ths (bar 5) and rushing 16ths (bars 7-8).

Miles solos, then Trane, then they do an ensemble thing trading fours with Jones and repeat the head.

A head-spinning bowl of bop.

from Rhythm of the Saints

Down among the reeds and rushes
A baby boy was found
His eyes as clear as centuries
His silky hair was brown

Never been lonely
Never been lied to
Never had to scuffle in fear
Nothing denied to
Born at the instant
The church bells chime
And the whole world whispering
Born at the right time

Me and my buddies we are travelling people
We like to go down to restaurant row
Spend those Euro-dollars
All the way from Washington to Tokyo
I see them in the airport lounge
Upon their mother's breast
They follow me with open eyes
Their uninvited guest

Never been lonely
Never been lied to
Never had to scuffle in fear
Nothing denied to
Born at the instant
The church bells chime
And the whole world whispering
Born at the right time

Too many people on the bus from the airport
Too many holes in the crust of the earth
The planet groans
Every time it registers another birth

But down among the reeds and rushes
A baby girl was found
Her eyes as clear as centuries
Her silky hair was brown

Never been lonely
Never been lied to
Never had to scuffle in fear
Nothing denied to
Born at the instant
The church bells chime
And the whole world whispering
Born at the right time

In 2006, Marco Minnemann recorded a 51-minute drum solo, and shared it with other musicians, requesting that they use it as a basis for new compositions that would collectively be known as the Normalizer 2 Project.

Two other musicians made successful recordings of this unusual project: Mike Keneally's Evidence of Humanity and Trey Gunn's Modulator.

Frank Zappa no doubt coined the term Xenochrony, which provides a good definition for this type of project.

So deep this feeling that I have for you
Your eyes pierce through my heart
Your smile tears me apart
I knew it, it's so tue
I'll never get over you

You touch me making my heart race
So much was written on your face
I knew when you arrived
That no words could describe
What your love made me do
I'll never get over you

Girl, you're so much heart and soul
Girl, was a moonlit night you came into my life
And now this feeling has grown
And if you leave me alone I know
I'll never get over you

So hide the moments when I feel blue
You warm the coldest feet
Can cool me in the heat
And all though love was new
I'll never get over you
My understanding grew
But I'll never get over, never get over you

This is an exceptionally cool version. A guy in the audience wants them to play The Allman Brothers Band's Whipping Post (see Post cclxxvii). After that, the band begins Montana, but Zappa stops them after six bars, because it's "too fast" for Ruth and Chester. He then counts it off again and it becomes a "ballad."

George making fun of Eric Clapton's sweet tooth, and frequent dental appointments.

"He was over at my house and I had a box of 'Good News' chocolates on the table and wrote the song from the names inside the lid -- 'creme tangerine,' 'montelimar,' 'ginger sling' -- 'you'll have to have them all pulled out after the Savoy Truffle.'" -- George

Harrison also slipped in a little reference to Paul's Ob-La Di, Ob-Bla-Da.

George also asked engineer Ken Scott to distort the saxes. When the session guys came up to the control room to listen to playback, George said to them:

"Before you listen I've got to apologize for what I've done to your beautiful sound. Please forgive me -- but it's the way I want it."
