    It would be great if beanis posting became the present day Louie Louie:

    The following month an outraged parent wrote to Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy alleging that the lyrics of “Louie Louie” were obscene, saying, “The lyrics are so filthy that I can-not [sic] enclose them in this letter.” The Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated the complaint, and looked into the various rumors of “real lyrics” that were circulating among teenagers. In June 1965, the FBI laboratory obtained a copy of the Kingsmen recording and, after 31 months of investigation, concluded that it could not be interpreted and therefore the Bureau could not find that the recording was obscene.
