Interpreting Chaos: Your Mindset Revealed in Ambiguous Lyrics

from An Ounce - For Your Consideration · host Jim Fugate

There are a few songs that have lyrics that nobody seems to be able to decipher. And, you might be surprised to find out just how ridiculously far efforts to find their meanings went. We’re not necessarily talking those songs that have a word or two, here or there, that you can’t quite figure out.                         Because, there are those where you can understand every word – but the message is an enigma. Even when super fans can tell you they know what the words Truly mean. Perhaps the meaning is known only to the composer – or maybe there is any logic to them– the words just sound good together. And then – there are those where the artist mushes up the words and phrases so much, you can’t be sure they are speaking words.  https://www.buzzfeed.com/madisonmcgee/people-are-sharing-the-wildest-historical-events-that-are  Item 11 https://vault.fbi.gov/louie-louie-the-song/louie-louie-the-song/view Additional Reference: Richard Berry, speaking in an interview, revealed the lyrics he wrote were meant to be the lamentations of a love sick sailor, from the Caribbean, talking to a bartender named Louie as follows: “Louie Louie, me gotta go. A fine little girl, she wait for me. Me catch the ship across the sea. I sailed the ship all alone. I never think I’ll make it home. Louie Louie, me gotta go. Three nights and days we sailed the sea. Me think of girl constantly. On the ship, I dream she there. I smell the rose in her hair. Louie Louie, me gotta go. Me, see Jamaican moon above. It won’t be long me see me love. Me take her in my arms, and then I tell her I never leave again. Louie Louie, me gotta go.” (By Richard Berry. Copyright 1957-1963 by Limax Music Inc.)
