ROUND TWO
In February, 1964, an outraged parent wrote
to the US Attorney General alleging that the song
“Louie, Louie” by the Kingsmen was obscene,
claiming the lyrics said,
A fine little bitch, she waits for me;
She gets her kicks on top of me.
Each night I take her out all alone;
She ain’t the kind I lay at home.
In response, J. Edgar Hoover instructed the FBI
to obtain a copy of the recording. He then conducted
a thirty-one-month investigation into the song and the band.
