I've long held the theory that you can take any popular song written that contains frequent use of the word "love" in the lyrics and substitute the word "drug" or "drugs." I don't actually think that they were written this way on purpose, but some of them are just a little too close for coincidence. Take a look:
"In the name of drugs, what more in the name of drugs" -- U2"I will always drug you" -- Dolly Parton
"Drugs, drugs will keep us together" -- Captain and Tennille
"Drugs will tear us apart" -- Joy Division
"Hello, I drugged you won't you tell me your name" -- The Doors
"Drug me tender, drug me true" -- Elvis Presley"I'll do anything for drugs" -- Meatloaf
"To all the girls I've drugged before" -- Willie Nelson and Julio Iglesius
"I think I drugged you" -- The Partridge family
Of course, you may have to change the subject/verb agreement or tense to actually make it fit, but that's all part of the fun of doing this. "Can you feel the drug tonight?" -- Elton John
"I drugged you just the way you are" -- Billy Joel
"Tonight, I celebrate my drug" -- Roberta Flack and Peabo Bryson
"The power of drugs" -- Huey Lewis and the News"Drugs lift us up where we belong" -- Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes
Incredible, isn't it? Who would possibly concieve that this could happen? Even more amazing, the most notable offenders are the Beatles. Take a look at this list:
"All you need is drugs"
"Can't buy me drugs"
"Drug, drug me do"
"PS, I drugged you"
"And I drugged her"
"Drug you to"
"Hallelujah I drugged Her So""I won't stay in a world without drugs"
"Falling in drug again"
OK, maybe that last one doesn't quite fit, so it must be the exception that proves the rule.
On a final note, I just wanted to make sure everyone understands that I don't condone the use of illegal substances. As an Intergalactic Gladiator, I need to keep in tip top shape and so I make it a point to avoid drugs in any form, except for beer, aspirin, and space steroids.Er, but not the space steroids, I don't use those.

Not all drugs are bad. Some of them are great!
Wow, many of the songs go from loves song to date rape at the frat house. Yikes
I ahve always like Tina Turners "Whats drugs got to do with it" Oh wait that sound like a Ike Turner plea bargin.
Well, instead of "Falling in drug again," you might just have to change it a tad more to make the grammer work - "Falling into drugs again." We all know the Beatles had a lot of experience with that so it's probably what they meant.
That, is fascinating. I drug it completely.

P.S. I am going to have my mental soundtrack filled with all those songs now. lol
That's hilarious!
Thanks for stopping by & commenting on my site, I gotta do something about the hotlinks in my comments (I'll figure it out!)
Cool site you got here, Mr. Intergalatic Gladiator!! :)
Hi, Michele sent me.
"Drugs are many splendored thing"
Of course, Roxy Music equated the two with "Love is the Drug."

I agree about 'Love is the drug'. Would it be changed to 'Drug is the love'?
Well, that is an interesting theory. I'll have to think about that one. I know someone that adds the words "in bed" to every fortune cookie fortune. It's sort of funny.
Michele sent me today. Hope you're having a great day!
funny how that works!
