[Harp-L] Louis, Louie safe at last!

[Philharpn@xxxxxxx]

Thank God wiser minds have prevailed and the McCord Middle School Band was 
allowed to perform "Louie, Louie" in Saturday's Blossomtime Festival in Benton 
Harbor, Mich.

The school superintendent had ordered the band not to play the song, citing 
its allegedly raunchy lyrics from the 1963 song by the Kingsmen.

Folks, the lyrics are merely unintelligible, not dirty. This myth has been 
circulating for years, and the FBI even got sucked into it -- but spent two 
years and couldn't find anything.

The lyrics are moot; the band was going to play the song, NOT sing it!
