Songs That Were Banned From US Radio For The Weirdest Reasons

"Louie Louie" by The Kingsmen (1963)

"Louie Louie" is a timeless rock 'n' roll anthem that fell under scrutiny due to its allegedly indecipherable lyrics. Rumors circulated that the song contained obscene and lewd content, leading the FBI to conduct a lengthy investigation. In the end, no evidence was found to support the claims, and the ban was lifted, but the incident remains a classic example of the power of misheard lyrics.
