Old Crow Medicine Show is an American string band based in Nashville, Tennessee, that has been recording since 1998. Primus has at least two songs about methamphetamine. His tracks “On the Tweek Again” and “Those Damned Blue-Collar Tweakers” are on this list. Green Day refers to being “yarn”, a term associated with being high in methamphetamine. In their hit, “Brain Stew” and Marcy Playground refer to crystalline methamphetamine as candy in their song, “Sex and Candy”.
Hell, Lanegan could sing about puppies or rainbows and would probably come out like Death clearing her throat patiently and politely from the bottom of a whiskey glass. You would be wrong if you thought that Spice Up Your Life is encouraging listeners to start using methamphetamine, instead the song implores the world to start cooking methamphetamine.
