L.A. L.A. Song

L.A. L.A. (Song)


Stiv Bators, the front man for one of the best punk rock bands the Dead Boys was trying to reinvent himself as a pop singer and released one excellent album in 1980 called Disconnected and a lot of other singles.  
 
Richard Berry  (no relation to Chuck Berry) is the author of the immortal “Louie Louie”; one time, Stiv Bators also recorded a version of that song with a whole studio full of people – the new lyrics that he supplied extolled the virtues of his new home town and gave it the name, “L.A. L.A.”.
