    Jane Coaston Retweeted The New Yorker

    This is one of my favorite stories. There was a MULTI-YEAR investigation into the lyrics of “Louie Louie."https://twitter.com/NewYorker/status/1297880146708516864 …

    Jane Coaston added,

    How Jack Ely’s incomprehensible vocal on “Louie Louie” spawned an F.B.I. obscenity investigation, and turned the song into a subversive rock-and-roll anthem. http://nyer.cm/aBMZso0

        This reminds me: the song “Rock Around the Clock” was featured in the film “Blackboard Jungle,” which argued that rock n’roll would lead to evil acts. The version used was a slightly slower one that sounded more menacing. Obviously, it became a giant hit.

        Years ago one of our Top 40 radio stations announced a format change. The last 48 hours was Louie Louie over and over and over again.
