Gah! The hamsters ate my post! Here we go again. Willy Wonka - Pure Imagination Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit Oasis - Champagne Supernova\* Foghat - I Just Wanna Make Love to You Strawberry Alarm Clock - Incense and Peppermints The Electric Prunes - I Had Too Much to Dream Cream - White Room (the version from Live Cream Vol. II) Kermit the Frog - Rainbow Connection \*There is something about this song that makes stoned groups of people sing it rapturously and loudly. YMMV, but I’ve seen this happen multiple times. Also, that stereo water sound is awesome when you’re stoned. LC ---

Your right, at the time all the stoners sang to this song, including myself. Probably because it contained the words, “Where were you while we were getting high?” For some reason, the stoners thought this was like some kind of a master peice, a kind of “getting high” song.?.? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Mr. Blue Sky \* > \*\*“Tomorrow Never Knows” - Beatles \*\* good one also by the beatles “baby youre a rich man” “strawberry fields” -quick story , i had a FRIEND, who listened to this stoned, and where everyone says lennon says “i buried paul”, the real words “cranberry sauce” can be heard clear as day “day in the life”- same friend heard at the end in the long piano fade out, listen to the very end, you cn hear someone creak the piano bench, and someone else says “shh” “im only sleeping” the abbey road medley the list goes on and on, but if you are really in the mood for a wild ride, “revolution #9” ---

Oh my gods, I very nearly forgot an extremely important couple of tunes from the electronic side! Crystal Method - Magic Carpet Ride Delerium - Silence (Sasha & Digweed Remix)\* \*This is key, people. Sara Maclachlan’s vocal parts and all the giant trance chords will make you believe in the silence, trust me. Just be patient and let it build. I got chills just thinking about it… time to listen.

Not to nag, but… On the straight dope, We cant condone downloading music off the internet, but we can condone listening to music while smoking pot? One isnt illegal (yet) and the other is blatantly illegal… 😕 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Gozu \* > \*\*hum, don’t give me band names, give me song names 🙂 \*\* You can always tell the amateurs, can’t you? 😉 When you’re stoned, want _albums_, not _songs_: you don’t want to have to select a new song every three minutes, even if it seems a lot longer. 🙂 I’m stunned that nobody’s mentioned the Grateful Dead in three dozen posts, so put on _American Beauty_. If you’re in for stoned humor, try Firesign Theatre’s _Waiting for the Electrician_ or _Don’t Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers_. ---

In theory, under scientific conditions, for medical reasons, after a raging bout of glaucoma, and nausea, with anxiety, in some states when the feds. aren’t looking, void where prohibited, professional driver on closed course, I’d suggest: Songs: “Pepper” by the Butthole Surfers; “Natural One” by Folk Implosion off the Kids Soundtrack; “Bitter Sweet Symphony” by the verve; “Are You Experienced” Jimi Hendrix (the song especially, but the whole album really); “Bodyrock” by Moby (or about 20 other songs\*); “Blue” (album mix) by LeTour. A few CDs: _Surrender_ by the Chemical Brothers; _Skylarking_ by XTC _AHEM_ _The Wall_ by Pink Floyd; _COUGH_ (planetariums everywhere bow in reverence) _Low_ by David Bowie… \*Moby does not use drugs, so don’t blame him! ---

We don’t know where Gozu is located and it might be legal for him to be stoned where Gozu is.
