Hell, "Louie Louie" remains in constant rotation nearly 45 years after
its recording, and it's got a barely veiled obscenity in it. No, not
in the they-aren't-really-dirty lyrics: listen to the break just
before the second verse (around 50-55 seconds in) and just in the
background, you'll hear someone disgustedly yelling "fuck!"
Supposedly, it's the drummer, Lynn Easton, having banged his sticks
together. It's one of those things where once you hear it, you can't
believe you never noticed it before.
