“What will you do when the label comes off,
And the plastic’s all melted,
And the chrome is too soft?”
Bob Dylan – Talkin’ John Birch Society Blues
The Vault — Louie Louie (The Song)
You have to admit the FBI is certainly thorough in its investigations of alleged crimes, as was the case with the "Louie Louie" song. Take a look at their now public 118 page investigation above.
In 1963, a rock group named the Kingsmen recorded the song “Louie, Louie.” The popularity of the song and difficulty in discerning the lyrics led some people to suspect the song was obscene. The FBI was asked to investigate whether or not those involved with the song violated laws against the interstate transportation of obscene material. The limited investigation lasted from February to May 1964 and discovered no evidence of obscenity.
Peter, Paul and Mary – Old Coat
"Silver spoons to some mouths, golden spoons to others,
Dare a man to change the given order.
Though they smile and tell us all of us are brothers,
never was it true this side of Jordan."
