I am out working on my addition, listening to KPFT Houston streaming
over the tubernets, and they just played a set of songs about Louie
Louie. How many of y'all remember Louie Louie by the Kingsmen? It
caused all kinds of stir, clearly the commienists were behind it,
subverting the morals of Merkin youth with that filthy rocknroll trash.
We knew it had dirty lyrics but no one could figure out what they were.
We would spontaneously break into playing that in band class in jr high,
the band teacher Mr. Broome who was about 5ft tall and wide, and who
hated that song with a passion (which of course became the lore of Mr.
Broome that all kids knew, passed along, remembered, etc.) would go into
an altered state when he heard us playing it before class started. It
was the most awesome thing about band class. I think it was the only
song we all learned to play without music and a band leader, go figure.
After the first two years there he retired, another guy took over, a
young guy, we tried that once and he had no issue with it so it just
faded away.... but then the Laugh In song became popular and he had
issues with that, so of course what did we do!
