Based on outcry from parents who bought into what may have started as an
idle rumor, the
FBI launched a formal investigation in 1964 into the so-called
pornographic lyrics of the song “Louie, Louie.” The investigation finally
neared its conclusion on this day in 1965, when the FBI Laboratory declared 
the lyrics of “Louie, Louie” to officially unintelligible.  The tune would go
on to become one of the most –covered songs in rock-and-roll history.
