I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Louie Louie discography (S-Z)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 19:55, 23 April 2020 (UTC) reply

Per WP:NOTESAL, individual items in a list do not need to be independently notable if the group or set is notable overall (i.e., has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources). The discussion about the number of “Louie Louie” versions by musicologists and music historians has been ongoing. The KFJC Maximum Louie Louie Marathon in 1983 was an early attempt to catalog all existing versions, Dave Marsh’s 1993 book included a rudimentary “Louie Louie” discography, and multiple sources (see ‘’Further reading’’ and ‘’External links’’ sections) have subsequently attempted to list the known versions.

Another ongoing discussion revolves around which songs have been most recorded/covered, and dozens of articles on this topic can be referenced. “Louie Louie” is a nominee for the most covered rock song category and is often cited, but the research is ongoing.

This article combines and updates existing sources and attempts to create a comprehensive list of documented cover versions. Relbats ( talk) 18:02, 20 May 2020 (UTC) reply
