As many of you know, the peerless popular music composer Burt Bacharach died this week. His songs, written with lyricist Hal David, covered the radio landscape through the 60’s, timeless hits such as “Walk on By,” “Say a Little Prayer,” “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again,” “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head.” Many were done in the flawlessly orchestrated smooth Bacharach style, sung by Dionne Warwick, but “Little Red Book,” was also covered, in what I would call the definitive version, upbeat and snarling, yet full of vulnerability, by 60’s L.A. band, Love.
I do. Boys had a particularly raw version, sexist. It was like in Animal house, you'd sing it together when you were out and saw a band play it, but I grew to dislike it. It was very objectifying.

Do you remember your own personal lyrics to "Louie, Louie"? We all had our own version.
