Names the same, different bands
Haunted Castle (1966)
It's the band and a single with the song that you most immediately think of when you see the name the Kingsmen. "Louie Louie" is the b-side here.
It's an essential part of every music collection and having a nice mono version from a half a century old 45 just makes it sweeter.
You are now prepared in case a toga part breaks out near you.
The A-side is a nice instrumental number too.
You're welcome.
Week End (1958)
What may add to some confusion is that there had previously been a band with a Top 40 hit (this song) by a different group calling itself the Kingsmen.
This Kingsmen was actually the Comets of Bill Haley & the Comets moonlighting for a little extra cash.
It's a nice little instrumental bit of the Rock and Roll.
It is also Toga Party appropriate.
You're welcome.
