Title: Cocaine songs?
Post by: fastcat on April 20, 2012, 07:45 pm
For a little project I'm doing I'm compiling a list of songs with a cocaine theme, and I could do with a bit of help. So far we have come up with:

My Bag -- Lloyd Cole and the Commotions  [My current favorite, have a listen if you're into 80's music & coke]
Cokane in My Brain -- Dillinger
White Lines (Don't Do It) -- Grandmaster Flash & Melle Mel
Cocaine -- J.J. Cale
Cocaine Blues -- T.J. 'Red' Arnall
No Thing on Me (Cocaine Song) -- Curtis Mayfield
The Terrible Sunrise -- Bobby Bare, Jr.
Master of Puppets -- Metallica
Ayo for Yayo -- Andre Nickatina & San Quinn
Snowblind -- Black Sabbath
Cocaine (We're All Going to Hell) -- Strata
Casey Jones -- Grateful Dead
Truckin' -- Grateful Dead
The Girl You Lost to Cocaine -- Sia
Cocaine -- Terrafractyl
Psycho -- System of a Down
Crack Cocaine -- Necro
Kokain -- Rammstein
Hustlin' -- Rick Ross
Feel Good Hit of the Summer -- Queens of the Stone Age
Snowman -- The Clarks
Bananas and Blow -- Ween
Standing in the Kitchen -- Yo Gotti
Lit Up -- Buckcherry
Pranging Out -- The Streets
Powder -- Yellowcard
The White Lady Loves You More -- Elliot Smith
Rest My Chemistry -- Interpol
White Devil -- Alexisonfire
Cocaine Girl -- Nirvana
Mr. Rager -- Kid Cudi
Bourbon (Crack Song) -- KO
Cocaine Habit Blues -- Memphis Jug Band

There must be more. If you can come up with any others that would be great.

The overall theme of the song must specifically be about cocaine. The song doesn't have to be in English, but it has to be fairly well-known to be included. Let's say that it must have been in the charts (of any country) at some point. Oh, and originals only; no cover versions of songs that are already listed please.

Sia - The Girl You Lost to Cocaine

Still not sure what the lyrics are about. I think that part of the song the cocaine is talking and another part is Sia talking to cocaine. I dunno, great song though :).

Original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_0ulNpvrRU

Song has also some good remixes, especially the one from Sander van Doorn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxONibsWbnU

Aww, you already have the ones that came to me off the top of my head, but I'll add that I prefer the Eric Clapton cover of cocaine to J.J. Cale's original.
Looking forward to the remix recommended by metropolitancow as well.

There's a Rammstein song called cocaine, or if I remember correctly it's spelt "Kokain".

Also, Hustlin by Rick Ross, which is about the distribution of coke lol.

Good point, done. And yeah, Sellers was one cool dude. :)

@theedman62: Great tunes, but I can't accept Cocaine Blues by Johnny Cash. The original by T.J. Arnall from 1947 (!) is already there.

@metropolitancow: True, I had never heard of Terrafractyl. Great remix.

@Brownie: You're right, that song by Boogie Pimps is not really about cocaine but about drugs in general, so it didn't make it onto the list. Nice tune though.

Did my first line of Coke on Thursday, nothing amazing. When we went to do another line my drunken friend lost his balance and knocked the lines onto the ground. Needless to say my friends lopped it up. I wasn't so keen. Haha.

But I've always imagined doing coke and listening to 90's nostalgia music...

Hmmm I thought That Smell by Lynyrd Skynyrd was about heroin, not coke.

Isn't there a line about shooting up and "sticking a needle in your arm". Unless... I guess the lyric means to describe shooting up coke?
Maybe its about doing speedballs?

Ahh I'm not sure....Heh. My favorite songs of theirs is freebird and sweet home alabama(sp?) and that's about it, lol.

I think it's about all drugs. He mentions alcohol, coke, toke, ludes, and the needle which I guess is heroin.

Fair enough. Had a look at the lyrics, Skynyrd is out.

You know, I think there is a 'rumor/myth' that Led Zeppelin's Nobody's Fault But Mine is about cocaine use,

but its probably about robert plant cheating with a groupie, heh.

Great. First post updated.

@risky2: Thanks for the Led Zep suggestion, but it's not obvious to me from the lyrics, and songfacts.com only mentions heroin addiction and general drug use as a possible theme.

@anyone: Somehow I've got it into my head that Steely Dan did a song about cocaine, and that Prince did too. Can't think of which songs though. Does anyone have a clue what I'm on about?

Haha good story, I have knocked over my stuff before in a tequila drunken event lol.. never lopped it up tho haha needless to say the GF wasnt too impressed with me that night luckily I had a little extra stashed to make up for my spillage, having growing up in the 90's I tend to throw on a few tunes regularly under the influence of different substances..

Cocaine Habit Blues by the Memphis Jug Band. Youtube it!

I think Master of Puppets by Metallica is about cocaine. At least that's what my cuz told me when he stopped by my parents' house on his way to rehab when I was 12. He told me never to do coke, and then what did I wind up doing? Ha! I love my cocaine but man it's a tough drug to handle. I can relate to the Memphis Jug Band version.

"Needlework the way, never you betray
 Life of death becoming clearer
 Pain monopoly, ritual misery
 Chop your breakfast on a mirror"

Heh I saw them live on tour in 86 when they still had cliff burton alive. Believe me , I know that song well.

I'd never heard of the Memphis Jug Band before. Excellent, thanks.
