The FBI once investigated a rock song because people thought the lyrics were obscene.
In 1963, The Kingsmen released “Louie Louie.” The vocals were so hard to understand that rumors spread about hidden dirty lyrics. Parents complained, officials got involved, and the FBI analyzed the recording — even playing it at different speeds.
In the end, they found no proof of obscenity.
One of the strangest investigations in rock history.
