The songs they tried to ban
The Kingsmen, 'Louie Louie' (1963). The '60s garage-rock anthem, originally released by R&B artist Richard Berry, was banned by the governer of Indiana, Matthew E Welsh, due to allegedly indecent lyrics such as "I fuck my girl all kinds of ways" and "I felt my boner in her hair". These accusations led to an FBI investigation for violating obscenity laws - but no charges were brought.
