It's my potty (party) and I'll cry if I want to.

I bet more than a few may remember back in 1963 the Kingsmen's "Louie Louie" phenomenon...no greater sport could be had or imagined than making all repositories of respectability cringe over the unapprovable. As a way of putting on other kids and and panicking authority lyrics to the original 1956 song about a lovesick sailor's lament to a bartender named Louie was said to have secret lyrics all about sex.

And those are not the ones I am gonna put down here.

Here are the real lyrics.

Louie Louie, oh no
Me gotta go
Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said
Louie Louie, oh baby
Me gotta go

Fine little girl waits for me
Catch a ship across the sea
Sail that ship about, all alone
Never know if I make it home

CHORUS

Three nights and days I sail the sea
Think of girl, constantly
On that ship, I dream she's there
I smell the rose in her hair.

CHORUS

Okay, let's give it to 'em, right now!

GUITAR SOLO

See Jamaica, the moon above
It won't be long, me see me love
Take her in my arms again
Tell her I'll never leave again

CHORUS

Let's take it on outa here now
Let's go!!

Golden Earring, Radar Love

"It's a half-assed Ford and I'm shifting gears"

"It's a half past four and I'm shifting gears"

And how 'bout: put the lime in the coke, you nut,

not 'put the lime in the coconut'.

Star spangled banner!

I haven't a clue what utterances I came out with, something like a loud screechy ya ya ya ya, with much apparent enthusiasm however, through some of the phrases. It was years before I actually knew what the words were, neither posessing the vocabulary or the history to understand what were singing each morning, not that passing out song sheets to prereaders would have have helped a lot. I did much better singing about robins, ice skating and rowing boats.

I remember liking Hail to the Chief and asking my mother if I could have that song played for something or other, (my someday graduation maybe???) and was in utter amazement and disbelief to learn that there was music reserved exclusively for the president. Gosh I still love so many of the Sousa marches and Chopin's Polanaise Op 53. Well who knew they were marches? Guess I just have always liked LOUD music.

whose broad stripes who's brought stripes
through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts gallantly streaming
say does that star-spangled
rocket's red glare
