This Week in History - May 17, 1965
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 supposedly pornographic lyrics of the song “Louie, Louie.” That investigation finally neared its conclusion when the FBI Laboratory declared the lyrics of “Louie Louie” to be officially unintelligible. (Incidentally, the only time that there was ever an FBI investigation into a SONG)
