Band Banned From Performing 'Louie Louie' - Yahoo! News

BENTON HARBOR, Mich. - A pop culture controversy that has simmered for decades came to a head when a middle school marching band was told not to perform "Louie Louie." Benton Harbor Superintendent Paula Dawning cited the song's allegedly raunchy lyrics in ordering the McCord Middle School band not to perform it in Saturday's Grand Floral Parade, held as part of the Blossomtime Festival.

Say it isn't true......all these years, I didn't know this song had raunchy lyrics???????? All I was ever able to decipher was "oh baby" and a couple of "yeah, yeah"s.
