No way

There's no way a song that cheery is about shooting heroin.

Just like that hard hearted harbinger of haggis was doing to Charlie.

I haven't seen it in a long time, but I thought about it on Friday driving home when The Bay City Rollers came on singing "Saturday Night"

I did start laughing thinking about Charlie's Dad's "Scotish Hall of Fame" portraits -- and "The Pentervate".

Everclear - Santa Monica

Dug this song for years and only recently discovered it was referencing the lead singer's girlfiend's suicide and his subsequent unsuccessful suicide attempt by jumping off a pier in Santa Monica when he was a teen.

Still an awesome song.

Probably a good idea before we get to the "Alcatraz" scenes.

Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl"
It is a song about his love for heroin. To prove this to you I will mention a couple of facts. The word "girl" in drug culture is used for drugs that work on the brains hypothalamus region; this is the same area one feels pleasure during sexual activity. The drugs that pleasure this area are cocaine, heroin, and ecstasy. In the song he says, "slipping and a sliding" which is a description of using a needle for injection. He uses brown because heroin is normally found as a brown powder (china brown).

not 100% sure, just a thought ...

I wrote to Herb several years ago about that and even provided a copy of the lyrics. I was assured they wouldn't let it happen again. Lo an behold, they played it again this past season. I'm all for the Golden Girls dancing in the Uncle Sam costumes, just pick a different song. Damn !

Warren Zevon's "Excitable Boy" is such a catchy, jaunty song, and people who know it only by its strong chorus would be very surprised if they were to pay attention and listen to what he's plainly singing in the verses.

Springsteen's Born in the U.S.A. isn't really a patriotic, rah-rah song.
