Louie Louie was about a sailor missing and seeking his lost love in the Caribbean area.

Like many songs by many people, the singers slur the lyrics. This gave rise to speculation and to what today are called “conspiracy theories.”

“Dirty lyrics” were passed around from person to person all across the US. They did not reflect the true lyrics.

I can easily imagine a group of elderly men and women sitting in a dark and dusty church basement trying to play LPs and 45s backwards on an old phonograph to hear the "filthy" back-masked lyrics of "Louie, Louie".

the FBI actually did this! they concluded that the lyrics are indecipherable at any speed.

there is a more adult version of "la cucaracha" which mentions "la marijuana por fumar."
