They did a good version of Louie, Louie, but that was already an old cover song by the time Dave and Ray got ahold of it. So, your vote is DISQUALIFIED! 
Louie, Louie is a Rick Berry song. I think The Pharaohs, The Beach Boys, The Kingsmen (best version, imo), Otis Redding, Paul Revere and the Raiders, and probably more recorded it before the Kinks did (or around the same time, I don't know in what order).
Don't worry about the rejection though. Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star; and everybody's in show biz, it doesn't matter who you are - this includes you, aussie!...
Celluloid Heroes is actually probably my favorite Kinks song.
