Smoke Smoke Smoke (That Cigarette) by Commander Cody

[sauquoit13456]

Entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 on 07-07-1973, it peaked at No. 94 and spent 5 weeks in the Top 100...

On 08-09-1947 Tex Williams' version reached #1 {for 6 weeks} on Billboard's Best Sellers chart, he also made #1 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart and was in the top spot for 16 non-consecutive weeks. In 1960 he re-recorded the song in stereo for an album. He was the co-writer of the song with Merle Travis...

George, I was lucky enough to meet you guys at the El Mocombo in Toronto backstage & got to meet Bobby Black...what a great guy!!! Loved your band back then...my favourite!!

[azretros]

Hey George, nice job on the video. Always loved this song....remember me "Kid Curry"? We did a couple of gigs, and some good times at various places. Drop a line,.....

I wonder if you could replace "cigarette" with "cell phone"?

[nova65350]

anyone got a light?

[TurtleShroom]

This is absolutely the best anti-smoking song that has ever existed and will ever exist.

another guy i followed way back

[billyleedee]

I loved the sneaky inserts ...

[RaananVolesPianist]

A great rendition, but it was a little juvenile to put the F-word into the last chorus of the song--like a naughty boy saying, "See what I can do?" (F--, f---, f-- them if you f--- yourself to death!) I don't think it's terrible--after all, this is a comedy song-- but the song would be better without it.

[DougCameraMan]

@RaananVolesPianist It's not the F-word, it's ... "puff, puff, puff, them if you puff yourself to death". You know, like puff the cigerette.

rofl!

GREAT JOB - COOL VIDEO!

[drgigglesdoescocaine]

i dont know y, but this song makes me wanna smoke some tobacco

[awnok]

Why does a pic of David Hartley appear during the steel solo? Bobby Black? Yes! David Hartley! Where did that come from?!

[BONOBOS48]

Had to go outside to smoke smoke my cigarettes at last night Commanders gig.

Great show though, really down to earth yet talented people who are not afraid to mingle with audience between sets. I highly recommend their show I saw them once in 1980 and they were just as good last night as they were 30 years ago. A good time is guaranteed for all

[heybofe]

It's great to hear the Commanders voice again- it's like hearing from an old friend.

[einstein694u]

[bunsomatic]

Nice job on the video. Very well done. Thankyou!

[bensmith3200]

That guitar solo after the first verse and chorus is one of my favorites of all time. So funky.

[smthingwicked]

Aimmarked you sound a little wound up, perhaps you should relax and have a smoke.

[Starcastle2009]

A very funny song - definitely un-PC, which is probably why I like it, and I don't even smoke!

[Aimmarked]

omg pro smoking propaganda for our youth!! terrible!! for shame!!! embrace christ!!! only he can save you from yourself!!

[kankuro2295]

@Aimmarked HAHAHAHA!!!! Where have you ever heard this song exposed to the youth of the further plagued and controlled society of America?

[rc08dhrm]

good amusing song,can"t remember who was the original was well over 40years.He sings about 48 states,its been 50 for a while that can help date the original

[TMGLost]

@rc08dhrm Merle Travis and Tex Williams co-wrote it. You can hear some fine 'Travis-style' picking by Kirshen at about 1:00 to 1:30

[Sutterjack]

Thanks for posting this--very hard to find the original Commander Cody song---I don't think it's on iTunes---

[bassbob42]

Met the Commander twice, one if the nicest people in music.

[faq7eww]
