    What a great song! Bands like Ohio Express are what made 60's music. Sadly, we did not know how good we had it.

      I like this song a lot and the riff is timeless...but man, I have some cognitive dissonance praising this but also having a problem with P. Diddy overly relying on sampling, y'know?

    The Ohio Express was terribly underrated by my generation in the 1960s. The band's music is great but at that time there was a heck of a lot of competition. It was a wonderful decade.

    I love this era of rock n roll.. You had psychedelic, bubblegum, Motown, folk music, and "garage rock." It wasn't unusual to hear a Frank Sinatra tune mixed in the radio play. That was AM radio in the 1960s. I'm glad I grew up then.

    While this song was released, under the names The Rare Breed and The Ohio Express, this one song wasn't recorded by either group. We were The Conquests when we recorded it. All subsequent songs were recorded by others. A little known fact. We recorded the song again on TH-cam several years ago. :)

      I don't actually care who recorded it, I just love the song! I love to play it on my banjo at my music groups every so often! Since it is credited to The Ohio Express I love to use my Joey Levine voice when I'm singing it, even though I know he obviously didn't sing in the record. It actually sounds pretty good when I do my impersonation of Joey Levine singing it!

    Love this time period. It's 1967 and the kids are a mixture of greasers, frats and beatniks with longish hair. In the movie The Outsider's the frats were called socials or soc's. I was only 6 years old but can remember the high school kids as my neighbor was a high schooler and had her boyfriends over hanging by the side of our house.

    In this instance, The Ohio Express were actually The Rare Breed, John Freno on lead vocal. Super K Productions, i.e. Jerry Kasenetz & Jeffrey Katz, remixed The Rare Breed's original single and re-issued it as the first Ohio Express single. Produced by prolific veteran studio hand Sylvester Bradford.

      Dear Carolyn weaver,
      Louie Louie is in an entirely different (and advanced) universe from BEG, BORROW and STEAL. Louie Louie is arguably the best party record of all time. BEG, BORROW and STEAL, although cute for a minute, is a cheap knockoff. I think that what grabs most people about Louie Louie, although most won’t realize it, is that instead of using the standard I, IV, V (three chord special) progression the composer has used a I, IV, v (minor v) progression. This is unusual but inspired. It keeps one listening.

    You threw me out the night before last
    And now you want me back in your arms again
    You think I’m a fool, you treat me like dirt,
    You pull the string and hope I will be your friend
    But I know what’s on your mind,
    So I’d rather be out in the street,
    Without a dime
    And I’d rather Beg, Borrow and Steal,
    I’d rather Beg, Borrow and Steal,
    I’d rather Beg, Borrow and Steal,
    Than go back to you, go back to you
    Than go back to you, go back to you
    Than go back to you, go back to you
    Than go back to you, go back to you
    Yeah
    How long ‘dja think I’d hang around
    Pretending not to see the tricks you pulled on me
    There’s only so much a man can take before
    His life turns into a tragedy
    So I’m gettin’ out now while I can,
    Cause I don’t want to crawl, I want to walk out like a man
    And I’d rather Beg, Borrow and Steal,
    I’d rather Beg, Borrow and Steal,
    I’d rather Beg, Borrow and Steal
    Than go back to you, go back to you
    Than go back to you, go back to you
    Than go back to you, go back to you
    Than go back to you, go back to you

      yes, a real breathing band called The Conquests recorded this song that was released twice (same song) under the then fake names Rare Breed and Ohio Express on 2 different record labels. The record companies scrambled to form real bands to go on tour.

    . . I'm not only a senior citizen, but I'm also a working full time railroad employee. One of those Beg Borrow & steal albums had an old steam locomotive coming into a station. I remembered back in the early 1950 the steam locomotive and riding on one into Boston. I still work out of the Boston yards where now Amtrak Acela trains run totally on efficient electric power via overhead wire in a segment down to NY city @ 155 MPH . Taking me back to 1966 when I was JUNIOR /SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL I FIND THERE WAS MORE ORDERLY guys and girls meeting and dating back in the 1960s One of my co-workers on the job, I showed them how us kids looked like back then and how they danced. One guy said who is 15+ years younger than me said that they are all dressed in church clothes. Well! when I come to work I dress like any other of the guys, I'm an electrician and I have to protect myself against arc flash explosions that could occur. but if I go to my high school re-union then I dig out the old clothes, which still fits me with a little tightness, but I'm proud to have grown up in that era

    I always believed the Ohio Express was a group from Ohio. However, that was not true and the following explanation might help fill in details for someone: A New York record company owned the name Ohio Express and used the name Ohio Express for several of it's Top 40 pop tunes. The musicians who played and recorded the songs were not from Ohio and were not all the same on every recording. Almost all were from the NYC metropolitan area. The record labels that the songs appeared on were mainly Cameo, Parkway, Bell and later, Buddah. Somewhat later, there was a group from Ohio that toured and performed under the name, Ohio Express, but they were not the same people who had recorded the songs and were not on any of the Ohio Express recordings.

      Yes, Chip, but most players don't even know that! And there's so many versions of "Louie, Louie" that use all major chords. (actually it's a em7!)
      I'm guessing that Richard Berry's (writer of LL) publishing company couldn't be bothered to sue them all- there were so many LL ripoffs.
      That and the fact that it might be considered just a common musical cliche like the "Chuck Berry riff" and the "Minor Run Down" (Am, G, F#/D, F, E7)

    Certainly derivative ("Louie Louie" and "Hang On Sloopy"), but far better than it needs to be. The Rare Breed (the band who actually did this-as opposed to the Joey Levine-led session group that recorded most of the stuff under the Ohio Express brand later on) deserve more recognition as a standalone band than they got.

    Its funny, back then this kind of music was denegrated as "Bubble Gum Music." But now at 73 years old the innocence and purity shines through. Most of us guitar players were into Hendrix, Stones, Jeff Beck etc. Thats what was considered "cool" music back then. We called it "Progressive Rock" at the time. So much great music made back then in the horrifying war years and mass murder of blacks and protesters, when nobody went to prison for those crimes against my generation. We never would have dreamed that in this time we have a political party that wants a dictatorship and cling to anti-American values while calling themselves "patriots." Lets pray the USA doesn't become just another Putin style dictatorship, we are just inches away from that now....
