835 - Eric Clapton Cocaine 1976
"Cocaine" is a song written and recorded by J.J. Cale in 1975 and most widely known in a cover version recorded by Eric Clapton. Eric Clapton describes "Cocaine" as “an anti-drug-song. The fans only listen to the refrain: ‘She don’t lie, she don’t lie, cocaine.’ But it says, ‘If you wanna get down, down on the ground, cocaine.’” Clapton has called the song “quite cleverly anti-cocaine”, noting:“It’s no good to write a deliberate anti-drug song and hope that it will catch. Because the general thing is that people will be upset by that. It would disturb them to have someone else shoving something down their throat. So the best thing to do is offer something that seems ambiguous—that on study or on reflection actually can be seen to be ‘anti’—which the song “Cocaine” is actually an anti-cocaine song.”
