“Hot Smoke & Sassafrass” #14 4/12/1969

By request! Bubble Puppy was the very definition of a one-hit wonder, as this was the only chart record for the Corpus Christi, TX group. The Songfacts website says the title came from a “Beverly Hillbillies” episode where Granny said, "Hot smoke and sassafras, Jethro, can't you do anything right?" A weed song for sure.

Much underappreciated song.
One would think, as ubiquitous as hard rock has been for decades now, precursor songs like this would start getting their rightful recognition by now.
