    A wop bop a loo-wop a wop bam boom (??)

    A friend is entering a chili contest and he wants to name his chili "A wop bop a loo-wop a wop bam chili". But every site we find has these lyrics written out a little differently.

    Anyone know what Little Richard actually says in this song? (Tutti Frutti)

          According to a website I was just on the original lyrics were cleaned up from "Tutti Fruiti, good booty" to became "Tutti Fruiti, aw-rootie" LOL

          http://www.history-of-rock.com/richard.htm

          Two other website I was on states it as: ..."awop-bop-a-loo-mop-alop-bam-boom"…& "A-wop-bop-a-loo-mop-a-whop-bam-boom!"

          I bet Little Richard wouldn't give you the same answer twice either.

                              There are those who think the lyrics are downright dirty, and those who think otherwise. And there are lots of "interpretations" that are downright dirty.

                              The FBI even spent time investigating it.

                              Found this site some time ago, and loved it! More info than you might want!

                              http://www.louielouie.net/01-welcome.htm

                              " In terms of "obscene" words in the song "Louie Louie," one would be hard pressed to find any such items in the lyrics written by Richard Berry. Other bands have interpreted this song in their own unique way, often adding additional lyrics, which may or may not be considered "obscene," depending on your own termperament...."
