Happy New Year!

A little rock n roll history.

Follow (me) @epicliveperformances to tune into the most iconic moments in live music history …. “Louie Louie” by The Kingsmen came out in 1963 and quickly turned into one of the wildest stories in rock history. The singer’s mumbled vocals were so hard to understand that people started claiming the song had dirty lyrics hidden in it. The rumors spread so much that the FBI actually opened a full investigation, spending over two years trying to figure out what the singer was saying—slowing the song down, speeding it up, everything. In the end, they admitted the lyrics were totally “unintelligible,” but by then, the controversy had made the song even more famous. It became a symbol of teenage rebellion and pure rock ’n’ roll chaos.
