LMAO! Classic indeed! Pretty sure they didn't know what "toke" meant!

I love it when they modulate.

Just because it says sweet Jesus doesn't mean it's about sweet Jesus.

They are probably not as innocent as they look.

Ha! Topic aside, I really found this tune catchy and enjoyed it Thanks for sharing!

Here's the original:

Yes, it was a big hit for them back in the day, maybe their only hit? Used to hear it on the radio all the time in the 70s.

It made the #8 spot in the Rolling Stone 15 greatest Stoner Songs of all time list : https://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/the-15-greatest-stoner-songs-20110420/brewer-shipley-one-toke-over-the-line-19691231

Their cover of Jackson Browne's "Rock Me On The Water" was nice.

Love the vinyl crackle in this video! Probably NOT a plugin...

(I think I still have that record in a closet somewhere)

If not Jesus, were they possibly singing about Mary??


Mary Jane?

I loved these singers.

Where can I buy the entire collection of this man named Lawrence Welk?

Perhaps Johnny Zell (forum member) could weigh in on this, as a former Lawrence Welk trumpeter.

That was my mom's favorite show.... and no, she had no clue about the meaning of a "toke".

Brewer and Shiply were more convincing that they knew the meaning. I mean, just look at them!
