Remember the song Louie Louie? The song was written by Richard Berry in 1955 and later made popular by The Kingsmen and featured in the films American Graffiti and Animal House. It was also the subject of an FBI investigation that ran for more than two years during the mid-1960s. The concern: Whether the lyrics were dirty and pornographic. Ultimately, after spending countless time and money, the G-Men determined the lyrics were unintelligible.
