Another one - it's only the intro but I always think the Masqueraders is Milton Wright when it first comes on. Clearly not but if you took the strings off . . . .

Richard Berry borrowed the intro of this and used it for "Louie, Louie" -

Interesting theory but I had heard it was taken from this; René Touzet's version sounds much more like the Kingsmen's version of the riff - incredibly like it:

Actually, it's not a theory at all, in the 1st chapter (maybe even  on the 1st page) of the book "Louie, Louie", Richard Berry admits 

to using the opening riff of "El Loco Cha Cha" for "Louie, Louie". I'll admit that the lyrics of "Havana Moon" probably also 

influenced Richard also.

I bow to your superior knowledge; and the lyrical delivery clearly owes something to Chuck Berry. I'd bet the Kingsmen must of heard that as well, theirs sounds much more like it.

That's coz they're the same tune.

That's because they use/share the same backing track but they are not the same tune nor do they sound "alike".
