Reverend Jax Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Alright I have a new game for all the peoples! First some history (for context). In 1960's, the FBI opened an investigation on the allegedly obscene lyrics to the Kingsmen version of the Richard Berry song, Louie Louie. It lasted 31 months and yielded a 140 page report essentially concluding that the lyrics are complete incomprehensible. Now, here's the new game. Download and listen to and try to decipher the lyrics, and in one week from this post, the Hondonian with the best transcription wins. Submissions will be judged as follows: A line is defined as beginning and ending with a pause, however slight. A completely correct line gets you ten point, a line that is mostly right but has one word wrong is five points. Any lines less accurate than that get zero points. You are free to post lyrics in the thread if you have no problem with other Hondonians using it. If you are being competetive and what to win, you can send me submissions via PM. Enjoy.

Reverend Jax Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 You got one line exactly correct ("Oh Testes Testes"). Nothing else was what I would consider even close. Both your screen name and Lottie's are in the lyrics, but not in lines you identified them in, so that's something to look for during future listens.

Lottie Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I'll PM my lyrics first, post it when everyone's had a go. I thought it was pretty fun, though some lines really are just noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 Besides the one line that ASC got right, Lottie discovered a second line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
