"Love peace and Hair grease"

Does anyone know the origin of this phrase?

I must be getting old. I Googled and this phrase is used as a sig by seventeen zillion teenagers, some guy from Survivor: Africa, and in a 2001 Popa Wu song, “Red Rum,” but I’ve never heard it before.

The earliest date I found it used is 2/12/1999. No clue on the origin, though.

Ru Paul has it as a lyric in a song from his 1993 album “Supermodel of the World.”
