Who Sang The Song Cocaine?
Originally, JJ Cale..
It was covered by many, most notably, Eric Clapton.
@Austin L..you’re thinking of Johnny’s great cover of “Cocaine Blues”.
Do You Remember That Song By JJ Cale Called “Cocaine”? Someone should write a similar song like that but this time about a much more potent drug.
Ritalin
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2001/09/26/ritalin-part-two.aspx
The children’s drug Ritalin has a more potent effect on the brain than cocaine.
Using brain imaging, scientists have found that, in pill form, Ritalin – taken by thousands of British children and four million in the United States – occupies more of the neural transporters responsible for the ‘high’ experienced by addicts than smoked or injected cocaine. The research may alarm parents whose children have been prescribed Ritalin as a solution to Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder.
OK Eric Clapton but either way we are giving our children drugs that are more powerful than Cocaine. Then we are putting drug dealers in jail for selling a less potent drug on the market lol.
She’s alright she’s alright Ritalin.
Glass-eyed with dopey grin
Acting out’s a sin
Ritalin
Sorry. I’m usually quite fussy about meter, but ‘Ritalin’ has three syllables.
