mysticwolf 10692 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-05-05, 03:29 PM (EST) "I thought we settled this in the 60's" Is it just me or does it seem that society's running a little mad these days? A school in Benton Harbor has just banned the marching band from playing "Louie Louie" in competition because of the song's "raunchy lyrics". http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/N/NO_LOUIE_LOUIE?SITE=MIDTF&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT I distinctly remember as a kid that there was a major government investigation into the alleged obscenity of the song. The article even mentions it: "...the FBI spent two years investigating the lyrics before declaring they not only were not obscene but also were 'unintelligible at any speed'." I understand that we are doomed to repeat some aspects of our history when we don't learn or remember it. Do we have to repeat the truly ridiculous, time-wasting stuff?   Top

"RE: I thought we settled this in the 60's" Why would they be worried about the lyrics of a song played by the marching band? And yep, these lyrics are filthy... Louie Louie, oh baby, me gotta go. Louie Louie, oh baby, me gotta go. A fine little girl, she waits for me. Me catch the ship across the sea. I sailed the ship all alone. I never think I'll make it home. Louie Louie, me gotta go. Three nights and days we sailed the sea. Me think of girl constantly. On the ship, I dream she there. I smell the rose in her hair. Louie Louie, me gotta go. Me see Jamaican moon above. It won't be long me see me love. Me take her in my arms and then I tell her I never leave again. Louie Louie, oh baby, I said we gotta go   Top

Femme 3621 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Thong Contest Judge" 05-05-05, 03:35 PM (EST) 3. "Do you buy this?" Apparently Richard Berry wrote it and says the lyrics are: Louie Louie, me gotta go. Louie Louie, me gotta go. A fine little girl, she wait for me. Me catch the ship across the sea. I sailed the ship all alone. I never think I'll make it home. Louie Louie, me gotta go . Three nights and days we sailed the sea. Me think of girl constantly. On the ship, I dream she there. I smell the rose in her hair. Louie Louie, me gotta go. Me see Jamaican moon above. It won't be long me see me love. Me take her in my arms and then I tell her I never leave again. Louie Louie, me gotta go. Berry... explains the song as the lament of a seafaring man, spoken to a sympathetic bartender named Louie. http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a1_316   Top

"RE: I thought we settled this in the 60's" Sooo...the marching band is marching and playing their instruments while singing raunchy lyrics? Might be tough. That parent was just worried about safety, I'll bet. Someone might get all confused and run over another band member or something.   Top

kathliam 3669 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Thong Contest Judge" 05-07-05, 04:41 PM (EST) 29. "RE: I thought we settled this in the 60's" You know, I wondered about the concern over the lyrics, not a lot of marching bands I've heard sing while they play instruments. Maybe Mom's upset about the spectators singing the (wrong) lyrics in the stands? Jeez, people, get a life. Parents are abdicating their responsibility to teach their own children their own morals to the government, and by extension the schools. Because they are offended, they are forcing their standards on the rest of the community in a misguided attempt to safeguard their children. I'm sure they feel they are doing the right thing for all the students, keeping them from harm's way. The result will be an entire generation of goose-stepping robots who do not have the skills to think for themselves and form their own opinions. Sorry, rant over. I needed to get that off my chest. It really burns my buns that my generation, who was going to change the world, is trying to push every person into the same square hole.   Top

With both the marching, playing, and singing going on they're multi-tasking enough. Then again, if cheerleading causes pregnancy I can't imagine what hearing "Louie Louie" will do. Maybe cause the birth of cheerleaders?   Top

"Decision reversed" http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-louielouie06.html Benton Harbor Supt. Paula Dawning reversed her decision Thursday after parents at McCord Middle School came out in support of the song. "The school district operates in collaboration with the parents and based on them granting permission and the multiple versions of the song, the students will march in the parade and play 'Louie Louie,' " Dawning wrote in a statement. Multiple versions? WHAT multiple versions? And don't blame this on conservatives. Blame it on some goofball woman who probably only heard the song in Animal House. "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell, no!"   Top

The one who complained, and the one in school administration that doesn't know enough, or care enough, to do her own research and reach her own conclusions. And she's one that's supposedly teaching our kids to think for themselves! Wonder how their debate team is doing?   Top

"RE: I thought we settled this in the 60's" In our band, we played Louie Louie, too, but never any complaints. We played Tequila, but because we weren't allowed to shout "Tequila!" at the part in the song, we altered it to "Your mama!" How high school of us. Also, in the Hey Song, where they normally shout "We're gonna beat the {insert favorite explicative word} out of you," our word was "whoopdi." Yes, "whoopdi." Beav: Band nerd.   Top

"RE: I thought we settled this in the 60's" LOL...I'm glad the decision was reversed. How silly! Reminds me of high school..we had a prob at our school dances with "Mony Mony"...kids would shout "Hey...Hey what? Get laid, get f***ed" in between lines of the song. Is that just a Wisconsin thing? Or did ya'll do that too?) So anyway, there was this big movement to get kids to say "Hey...Hey what? Get a card, read a book." The dj felt stoopid shouting it over the mike and after 2 different dances, just removed the song from his playlist. MM I'm convinced this country is another planet’s hell   Top
