Back in the 80s there was a groundswell of support to change the Washington State Song from Washington, My Home (not the official link to the official version) to Louie, Louie. Yes, that Louie, Louie.

Besides being the anthem for frat boys everywhere, Louie, Louie is held in especially high regard along the Greek Rows at University of Washington ("Yew-Dub") and Washington State University ("Wazoo"). The UW marching band proudly plays Louie, Louie at all sports events and parades. Of course, they also play Tequila, but I digress.

Besides being a great party song, Louie, Louie has its roots in Washington. The Kingsmen, who made Louie, Louie famous are homegrown Washingtonians.

While Washington, My Home remained the state song, we did get something from the effort: a few proclamations declaring a day to be the official day of Louie, Louie in the state. The City of Seattle once passed a similar proclamation.

Stuff about Louie, Louie.

We gotta go....
