	The Kingsmen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Kingsmen were a rock band from Portland, Oregon who rose suddenly to fame with their recording of Richard Berry's "Louie, Louie." After their recording of a much altered version of the song became a national hit in 1964.
		The band attracted nationwide attention when "Louie, Louie" was banned by the Indiana governor Matthew E. Welsh and attracted the attention of the FBI because of alleged indecent lyrics in the Kingsmen's version of the song.
		Prior to this group's formation, another group called The Kingsmen operated in 1958 and was made up of members of Bill Haley and the Comets who were moonlighting from their regular work with Haley.

	Louie, Louie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A version by The Kingsmen recorded in 1963 is perhaps the best-known recording; it was also the subject of an FBI investigation about the potential obscenity of the lyrics, an investigation that ended without prosecution.
		Another factor in the success of the record may have been the rumor that the lyrics were intentionally slurred by the Kingsmen to cover the fact that it was laced with profanity, usually in the graphic depiction of sex between the sailor and his lady.
		The Kingsmen and Ely protested, when asked, that the lyrics were sung more or less as Berry had written them, but this did not stop the controversy.

		To this day, the Kingsmen still say they said nothing lewd, despite the obvious mistake at the end of the instrumental, where Jack Ely started to sing the last verse one bar too soon, and can be heard yelling something in the background.

		The Kingsmen's humorous side can be found on the hokey, but hilarious, "Long Tall Texan." "J.A.J" (originally done by the Dynamics) was a local favorite with rumors flying around about what those initials stood for.
		It's too bad that the only tune that gets airplay off this album is "Louie, Louie." We used to love that song, but I think most of us are sick of it from overplay on all the oldies stations and in several movies.
