81. Roger Miller - "Dad Blame Anything a Man Can't Quit"

l'm a two pack a day man, smoke like a fiend
Like a burned out bearing in a bad machine
l can't breath in the morning 'til l get myself a cigarette lit
l say dad blame anything a man can't quit

Tweet, "Smoking Cigarettes" -> such a great song

Nathalie (stevienixed), Tuesday, 3 March 2009 20:12 (fifteen years ago) link

good news: the twelfth hour is the worst, all the others are piss easy
bad news: it comes back every day,
good news: and after a while only every second day...

the only reason why i didn't smoke in the last 7 months is that quitting was much more difficult than i thought. before i had always assumed i could stop at any day but i never stopped for more than 4 weeks. i don't want to waste all that energy i have put into not smoking!

84. Saved -- LaVerne Baker
I used to smoke, I used to drink, I used to smoke, drink, and dance the hoochie-coo
But now I'm standin' on this corner prayin' for me and you

Albums, not songs: There's Bob Seger's "Smokin' O.P.'s" and Joe Walsh's "The Smoker You Drink, the Player You Get." And does anyone remember the Midwest nu-wave band The Dancing Cigarettes?

PS I don't smoke right now. I quit in 1986, and if you are quitting now it should encourage you to know that it got much easier after the 21st year.

99. "America" - Yes Well, that's too easy. One of my favorites then: "Sensual Seduction" by Snoop Dogg. It was that or "Fodderstompf" by PIL which does not mention smoking but acts it out with that godforsaken cough.

^^^^^

I"Fodderstompf" DOES mention smoking:
"I’m just gonna go and get a cigarette do you want one
Yes please
Wont be a second
Okay"

I had to go listen to it after thinking about it. I haven't heard it in about, oh never mind it's nauseating to think of how many decades. It's just as I remembered it.
