Finding Louie (& Louie)

The FBI spent a lot of time and money trying to determine the words to “Louie Louie.” Years later I read their declassified report. Their suggested interpretations were far more obscene than anything in the song.

These aren’t the real lyrics to “Louie Louie”—but the FBI thought they might be.

The Feds never discovered the real lyrics. Here’s a laugh—nobody at the FBI ever realized that they could just walk down the street to the Bureau of Copyrights and request the official text.
