Which narcotic-inspired song do you rank as being awesome?

For me, the best are:

Guns N Roses - Mr Brownstone
Johnny Cash - Cocaine Blues

Opinions? Comments? Questions?

first one that really sprung into my mind, besides Musical Youths Pass the Dutchie that we were talking about on irc was Dr Alban - No Coke.

[an0n]

If you mention those semi-ska, pseudo-reggae bastards again, I'm going to skin you alive and boil your gibblets in a vat of liquified wild rats.

Puff the Magic Dragon.

Er.....

Snow Patrol; How to be dead, The Verve; History / The Drugs don't Work*

(released version changed one crucial word of the original lyrics; 'now the drugs don't work, they just make me worse' was changed to 'you worse')

[Clave]

There is only one!  White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane

[kasperl]

Not so sure about drug inspired, but I do know a few alcohol inspired ones.

[Stunaep]

Are we gonna be really blatantly obvious, and mention Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

I sure am.

Burn one Down - Ben Harper
The Perfect Drug - NIN (Actually about Absinthe)
Wake-up - Mad Season

[phreak]

an0n got it right.  its Mr. Brownstone

either that or Master of Puppets.

[Flipside]

Mr Brownstone's ok, but I still don't think any member of G&R played that Solo, slash has certainly never played like it before or since

I'm going to be a pedant here but the song was actually written about his dog Daisy May. So I've read in a few different interviews anyway.

Also,

Queens of the Stone Age - Feel Good hit of the summer ("Nicotine/Valium/Vicoden/Marijuana/Ecstasy and Alcohol")

Queens of the stone age - Better Living through chemistry

**** it, all the songs off "Rated R" by QOTSA are about drugs pretty much.

Faith No More - Crack Hitler

Faith No More - Cockoo for Cacka

Ween - Put the coke on my dick

Ween - Mushroom Festival in hell

Tool - Third eye

Snake River Conspiracy - Coke and Vaseline

Clutch - Spacegrass

Kyuss - Demon Cleaner

Pretty much any Alice in Chains song.

Man, I could go on all day.

[Flipside]

LOL Alice is Chains is practically a Narcotic in it's own right

I'm trying to work out whether this thread is about songs about drugs, songs written on drugs, or songs to listen to on drugs.

[Flipside]

I'm not sure theres that large a difference in many cases

[Martinus]

[color=66ff00]Not to point out the horribly obvious but surely it's the songs that get you into the best state of mind when you're on drugs irrespective of their content?

Unless you mean good songs that are about drugs specifically?

[Flipside]

From the examples Anon posted, I'd say it's songs that are specifically about drugs, something like 'Cocaine' by Eric Clapton.

[Martinus]

[color=66ff00]I figured as much but I though it would be a sneaky way to open up the subject a little.

[Flipside]

hehehehe Would be better to open it to 'What songs do you listen to when you are drunk/stoned/in religious ecstasy/whatever'

When I'm stoned, Soundgarden - Applebite scares the living **** out of me.

I saw the true God when I listened to the album Aenima by Tool when I was tripping.

[Flipside]

I grew up spending many a stoned evening listening to Alice, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, MotherLoveBone, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots etc etc etc
