Hot Smoke And Sassafras is a song by Bubble Puppy that I've loved ever since I can remember, though up until about 10 years ago, I had no idea what the title was or who performed it.
As seen on the Songfacts website... "This song was inspired by an episode of the TV show The Beverly Hillbillies where Granny said, 'Hot smoke and sassafras, Jethro, can't you do anything right?' The group liked the phrase and wrote the song around it as an ode to meditating while smoking marijuana."
A little about the band... they were from Austin, TX and their name was a reference to a game mentioned in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World.
All in all, the song is a great garage rock anthem from the late 60s.
Enjoy!
