What were the words to that song?



The topic of discussion among the Ladies Who Lunch today was whether the lifestyles of today's youth are really substantially different than it was for those of us who were children of the 60s. Hard to say, since we certainly had our share of free love and all the trappings -- a la sex, drugs and rock & roll. Also hard to consider the comparison to today when the teens you are looking at are your own.

This led to a discussion of music/lyrics, which in turn led to the Kingsmen's version of "Louie Louie." What were the words to that song?

As you watch the video, be sure to check out Urban Legends for the story, as well as the FBI's 2 1/2 year investigation of the lyrics, The Lascivious 'Louie Louie' from The Smoking Gun.

This one is for Julie!
