I posted one of my annotated playlists about nonsense lyrics on Medium a couple of months back. I included Louie Louie with some of the details you mentioned. That said, you, as always, manage to really dig up the whole story and I admire that.

I find it ironic that the song raised so much controversy over what was not there but had the “fuck” been more audible it would have been banned across the board. In fact, it is actually audible but somehow the smut police missed it or were they hoping for something juicier and missed the forest for the trees.

Check out my list. I would love to get your take as I enjoy yours. Keep up he good work!
