5 Of the Strangest Song Lyrics of All Time

Brewer & Shipley's "One Toke Over the Line" was an uncharacteristic 1970 hit for a duo that preferred to sing ballads. The song was singled out by Vice President Spiro Agnew as "blatant drug-culture propaganda" that "threatens to sap our national strength" because of its marijuana references; Agnew threatened FCC sanctions against radio stations that played songs that glorified or promoted illegal drug use. But Tom Shipley has said that the song hardly promotes drug use; it is in fact a cry for moderation.

  1. I like the song "One Toke Over the Line" very much. What I understand the meaning of this song is that a guy is returning home to see his girl after being on the road. He just got a little too stoned while waiting for the train.
