Song Association Game :D

Back in the day, there was a rumor that the words to Louie Louie by The Kingsmen were "dirty" (sexually oriented). As I traveled from town to town different areas had different versions of the 'dirty words'.

The FBI spent millions of dollars investigating the 'dirty words' and at the end of spending all that money, they said they didn't know if they were or not.

Eventually we were the opening act for The Kingsmen in concert so I asked Norm Sundholm about it. He said that there were no dirty words, Jack was just singing the original lyrics, the mic was too high and he mumbled. He said that his manager was aware of the rumors, and told them to neither confirm nor deny them because it was good for record sales.

Back then, censorship was strict, today most of the words I heard as I toured the country would be in tamer rap songs.

While on the subject of here is their 'other' hit.

"Jolly Green Giant" - The Kingsmen
