1 February 1964 : Newsmen learn that Indiana Governor Matthew Walsh has banned the Kingsmen's Louie Louie, then sitting at Number Six on Billboard's Hot 100, for allegedly containing obscene lyrics. Claiming it makes his "ears tingle" to listen to it, Walsh requests that the Indiana Broadcasters Association ban the record from airplay on all radio stations in the state. For his part, the song's publisher, Max Firetag, offers $1000 to anyone who can prove that the song contains obscene lyrics. The FBI eventually gets involved, and after extensive study reports that the lyrics of this version of the song, originally recorded by Richard Berry and the Pharoahs, are so garbled as to be unintelligible.

This is the fucking piece of shit's brainless, pathological, plagiarism, two months after this post - fully endorsed and published by his equally sleazy Dangerous Minds editor, Richard Metzger.
How can you justify this? Marc Campbell ripped off, stole, plagiarized, posted on your watch, represented this site like Donald Trump, broke every ethical value that barely holds the internet together?
Richard Metzger, you are, if not worse, equal to this. just check out the date.
this is the tenth video from posts that Marc Campbell with Dangerous Minds stole and posted that i've found so far.
there are many more.
There are no words. Thanks to the internet these ladies are immortalized forever.
One minute and 15 seconds of musical genius.
Filmed sometime in the 70’s in Switzerland, this video and group are shrouded in mystery. Anybody know who they are?
In his autobiography Who's Crazee Now?, bass player and lead vocalist Noddy Holder explained the inspiration for the song.
Jane was the co-host of a TV chat show in San Francisco they met on their US tour.
They wrote the song in about half an hour, "one of the easiest songs we ever recorded".
The line "Got a kick from her '40s trip boots" is a reference to her kicking Holder up the backside when the band were having a laugh at her expense.
Jane had bought a pair of platform shoes which she called her '40s trip boots, and somehow managed to lose them.
"She thought they were original '40s shoes and she told us that she had paid a fortune for them," adding, "She was a real loony, a typical San Francisco hippy."
Jim Lee came up with the title.
Holder wanted to call it "Hullo T'Jane," which doesn't have the same ring to it.
They recorded it in two takes, and backed by the typically misspelt "I Won't Let It 'Appen Agen," it was released on Polydor and went on to become a monster hit.
The single was produced by Chas Chandler. There was a second track on the A Side, "Take Me Bak 'Ome."
The sheet music credits "Gudbuy T'Jane":
"Words and Music by Neville Holder and James Lea."

Chloé Varrin, vérificatrice de films, a choisi ce reportage de l'émission Actualité artistique de 1966:
«Passionnant document sur Yves Klein que ce témoignage de Rotraut Klein-Mockay, ex-femme du peintre. Née en Allemagne de l'Est, artiste peintre elle-même, Rotraut, qui a vécu avec Klein pendant cinq ans, partage avec intelligence et pénétration ses souvenirs sur les créations de Klein (les Anthropométries, la vente de Zones de Sensibilité Picturale, l'Immatériel, …), les rêves du peintre et les motivations profondes de son art. Elle nous fait plonger au coeur d'une époque (cette interview a lieu en 1966, quatre ans après la mort de Klein) où l'art commence à sortir de l'atelier pour se «faire» sous les yeux du public et dans la rue lors de performances artistiques ou happenings. En pointillés de l'interview se dessine ainsi toute la génération d'artistes qui se sont groupés sous le nom de «Nouveaux Réalistes», sous la houlette du critique d'art Pierre Restany, et dont Yves Klein était un des piliers, aux côtés d'autres artistes plus connus en Suisse comme Jean Tinguely et Niki de Saint-Phalle.»
