I need help with a song I heard.

I need help with the name of some apparently obscure song I heard a while back...

  • I need help with the name of some apparently obscure song I heard a while back... I heard a song about a year ago on a local independent radio station late night music show called Rainbow Road, and given the variety of stuff they play and the fact they have no archive of songs played I can't go back to figure out what it was (and I don't know the exact date for sure). Anyways, the song was a somewhat country-mixed-jam bit that had a lot of "Andy Griffith Show" references but tied them into smoking marijuana. Does anybody have any idea what I'm talking about?

  • Answer:

    Near positive you heard http://www.br549.com/ doing "Me and Opie (Down by the Duck Pond)". One of my favorite Nashville bands.

it's not Rascal Flatts' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPIBqMTLYKg, is it? Nirvana's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Gb3iK56Qg4 also references the show.

I thought of those too, Poolio, but neither of them reference marijuana. Can you give us any snippets of lyric, deacon_blues?

This vaguely rings a bell for me -- I think the song is a few years old. I might have downloaded it from pastemusic.com. Not much help, but at least you know you didn't make it up. :)

Or, I'm thinking I may have heard it on http://www.93xrt.com/pages/65568.php. You might email those guys and ask.

The song made reference to one of the characters, I want to say either Barney or Opie, smoking a pipe or something similar. I'll give that a shot sugarfish, thanks. And Poolio: No, it's not Mayberry. Although I'm sure Mayberry is mentioned somewhere in the song i'm referring to. It was on one of those late night public radio shows where a couple of buddies are drinking and throwing on some old gems but never really keeping track. Any more help would be much appreciated and thanks everybody so far.

On a related note: As Fife, Knotts voiced the only mention of marijuana on The Andy Griffith Show, saying he suspected one of the townsfolk working his fields might be tending a crop of "happy weed." [via http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/The_Andy_Griffith_Show]

Oh, kimdog, I think you have it. Or at least you have the one I'm thinking of.

Perhaps it was a song from a record by the Asylum Street Spankers. In 2000 they released a whole drugs theme album called Spanker Madness. I don't specifically remember a song like that, but it has been 7 years since I've listened to the album.
