"But further investigation proved ... the song, if anything, if it's not even ambivalent, it's an anti-drug song.
Further investigation?

I think he got sick of Clintoon always requesting him to play it so he buckled and said "WTF, I'll start playing it to get that coke head off my back."
Btw, whre is Clapton's chin?

He looks like a Tom Turkey with that gobbler hanging from his chin.
To: Mr. Brightside

Clapton also said he missed playing "Cocaine," with its signature guitar riff, "just purely from a musical point of view." Here is the perfect solution to this dilemma:
Keep playing the song, but change the words to be about fighting Islamofascism. It would again become a great hit!
and the tune is so catchy, it will really annoy the targets.

Clapton also said he missed playing "Cocaine,"I bet he's missing having cocaine is more like it.
To: C210N
He's getting up eough in years that he should be singing about "Rogaine", not "Cocaine".

I saw a high definition show on PBS not long ago that featured Cream in concert. It was one of the first shows I had seen in hi-def, and it was absolutely fantastic.
Those old boys can play!

Very good. Maybe a great ad.
To: Mr. Brightside; SmoothTalker
The "Cocaine" riff has to be one of the 10 most recognizable ever.
What a helluva jam that song is.

I played drums in rock bands for 25 years and every time I would go to an audition and Cocaine was on the set list I would just say "Oh no, not again". That song, along with Sweet Jane were the cure for insomnia.

If you wanna hang out youve got to take her out; rogaine. If you wanna get down, down on the ground; rogaine. She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie; rogaine.
If you got bad news, you wanna kick them blues; rogaine. When your day is done and you wanna run; rogaine. She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie; rogaine.
If your thing is gone and you wanna ride on; rogaine. Dont forget this fact, you cant get it back; rogaine. She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie; rogaine.

change the words to I wrote a parody once and called it "Caffeine."
A little later I wrote a parody of the Bryan Adams song, "Run to You," calling it "Run from You." It started out like this...
"You had designer jeans and a fancy car
I'm amazed at what your makeup can do for your acne scars...
There was a line in there about coyote bait, if I recall correctly.
I never really looked at things that way. It was just a song with a goofy theme and words that rhymed and made sense in the context of the theme.

"Btw, whre is Clapton's chin?"
Its the chipmunk look. Aging rockers just look pathetic on stage trying to recapture their youth.

Hey Eric, why don't you just play it much slower like you have with all your other songs.

Wait, I AM grown up. Drat!
