It took the FBI 455 pages of investigative reporting to conclude that “Louie Louie” was “unintelligible at any speed.”

Yes, people were convinced that the lyrics were obscene, even though no one could say exactly what the lyrics were! I used to teach my young guitar students the song, the chord changes... and one time the mother of a student said to me "You're teaching my son that song?!!" :whoa: 8)

I think my cover of the song is better than his:

http://b0blee.bandcamp.com/track/louie-louie

But they both pale when compared to Richard Berry's original recording.
