The FBI did spend a lot of time investigating the song and whether it's lyrics were obscene. There are a number of other songs that were thought to have obscene lyrics from that time but they were never on the cleaned up recorded versions.
 
Definately sounds like Louie Louie... But it was all hype, the closest thing to an actual obscene lyric in it is "I smell the rose in her hair" which, if you have the right sort of brain, is a bit dirty :) It was the first hidden lyrics myth, sort of like reversing Beatles records.
 
The best one to pass under the radar was Shake, Rattle & Roll by Bill Haley.

"Like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a seafood store..."

How that one got by in those days I'll never know. :eek:
