The Lyrics
I read a lot of comics as a kid, including Donald Duck. I especially liked the stories when Huey, Dewey, and Louie were in the storyline. They originally had parents and only visited Unca Donald, but eventually their parents were done away with and Unca Donald became their permanent guardian. Now the joke is that Huey, Dewey, and Louie were supposed to be indistinguishable. Supposedly, everyone knew that (unless they accidentally wore each other's clothes) you could only tell them apart because Huey wore red, Dewey wore blue, and Louie wore green (my favorite color back then). This little song is about the fact that (as I knew) they were very different indeed. It tells the story of how little Louie eventually had had enough playing "third fiddle" and went out on his own. Based on Louie, Louie by the Pretenders (NO, THIS IS NOT THE SAME 'LOUIE, LOUIE' by the KINGSMEN) but that's another story. I'll include a link to the original song by The Pretenders in the outro. :-)
LOUIE, LOUIE (not the one by the Kingsmen)
Shh … it's them pucks!*
Now Huey, Dewey had their way
Showed their brother what and how
Pestered Louie
While mice and dogs grew richer every day
Not that little duck, hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Here comes their uncle
The smooooooth talker
The Daisy stalker
Flip ’n’ brash, talkin’ trash, mom and dad dashed, yeah!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Now Louie Louie’s had his time
Won a woodchuck badge today
Huey and Dewey got angy and ran away
‘cause they had no one else to play yeah!
Unca Scrooge wore glasses
He saw his nephews
He locked up his gold
Count it, lock it, stacks of gold, one more pile to touch the ceiling yeah!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Lou’s runnin’ fine
Bustin' moves we're impressed
Mmmm, almost feline
Yeah Louie showed them all how
He’s dressed in green
Yeah and his feathers are down
He’s got the whole bill of goods
Yeah, the chicks all go for the boy now!
Louie Louie dared to care
Turned those young heads on a dime
The girls danced with flowers in their hair
Now we sing no reason or rhyme
Yeah! Louie you done good there boy, good show!
Shh … it's them pucks!*
Now Huey, Dewey had their way

It's not easy being "green". I kept thinking about the OS of the 60s, but this sounds better! I also saw a little of "Quack Pack" on the Disney Channel where the nephews were teenagers. Louie was the rambunctious one! I also remembered how the nephews gave their Uncle Donald a hard time as well. But great parody! 555.
Well done...next time, get in a plug for Ludwig Von Drake ;D
Christie - I hope you listened to The Pretenders' song which is an entirely different song from the original Louie, Louie (although it IS a "tribute" of sorts to the original). I had my own little Louie, Louie reference in my parody too, btw. Did you catch it? ;-)
OMR - Another Donald Duck and friends parody? Are you sure I won't wear out my welcome? Maybe we can create a Disney parody network and pay tribute to all of the Disney characters! :-D

This is just ducky! [And the idea of a Disney parody series has some appeal...]
I can't *imagine* anyone getting tired of playing Third Fiddle -- or Second, for that matter -- and going out on their own! Whatever for? :D
@ FG: Didst see the Seuss series? (I know, I know -- Seuss yer ol' man! Havencha' got anything better than that? :-D j.k)
