2. This reminds me of J. Edger Hoover assigning an entire Team of FBI agents & "analysts"

for 31 months, to do in-depth analysis of the nearly indecipherable lyrics to the rock & roll
tune "Louie Louie" in the early 60s, Hoover was apparently convinced that the lyrics contained encoded
information that had the potential to threaten the the security of United Stated of America's government.

This picture is a crappy photo, but still barely readable, account, posted as an exhibit at an Oregon
Historical Society event in Portland 1-2 years ago. The Oregon slant on the song is it originated from
a NorthWest band that played in lots of Portland venues back in the day.
