Eric Clapton Cocaine. AN ANTI DRUG SONG believe it or not...

[hotflashtoys]

I got dizzy watching it but I like it.

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

@hotflashtoys "Dont forget this fact, you cant get it back; cocaine."

i did it wrong

[sirgerry]

Wow, what is that black plastic thing spinning? ;)

[MichaelHansenFUN]

@sirgerry ha ha its a 45 rpm single.

[monkeykidd14]

best song ever.

[53729598]

Don't delete...very original presentation and fun to watch.

.

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

@53729598

well I did it wrong (one channel) & I got this:

"You have videos that may contain content that is owned by someone else. Please review these videos. "...

[mercenarydrunk]

never knew that.

[DancingSpiderman]

You know WHAT?

I enjoyed the camera work on this vid, complete with lyrix... and I'm glad you selected THIS version of the song, no concert versions, etc.

Favorited... don't pull it !

[gamefreak101792]

lol hell yea roll dat cd round and round ahahaha i love this song

[CHUCKYCHOPSTIK]

Pisspoor quality (monophonic).

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

yep-i see where i made my mistake. but I am not posting any more like this...

[paranorma1palace]

i see more positives than negatives in the lyrics tbh, great song tho

[gurkensexshop]

where is the antidrug-message in this song?

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

"Don't forget this fact, you can't get it back; cocaine. "

its sarcastic & subtle

[blckhrt169]

i used it and i quit seems like youre full of it to me

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

he didnt write the song

and read the lyrics

[Wicks53]

It could be she dont LIKE cocaine-{that dirty cocaine!)-Live 2004 crossroads version

[060619751000]

Simplesmente the best!!!!

[arcticm88]

I think you have a point about this but it also says "If you got bad news, you wanna kick them blues; cocaine." nice video man

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

i think it was sarcasm, like a parent talks to a child when they are caught using drugs? then there was those 2 tv commercials 'glorifying' meth & heroin use.

[captindo]

worst karaoke video ever,fuckin crazier then a shit house raccoon,but atleast the song is good,makes me want to try cocaine for some reason......

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

well at least I put a microphone next to the speakers (but it is in mono) one channel. I wanted my videos to be unique instead of what you usually see...

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

also I am planning on deleating this because of all the OTHER stupid comments placed here...

[furlougha]

No need to delete it man,its a clasic, I used cocain for a long time but I decided to stop and I did with no problem, and there will be some that will want to make dumb statements about this too but thats just their nature. I was getting the pure stuff from Columbia, solid rocks, and I really liked it too.But after the inside of my nose started falling out I figured I needed to let it go.Good song..

[zcombs15]

hes actually talking about a girl dude..

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

well, jj cale wrote it but you probably allready knew that

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

boy and people are calling me dumbshit

they didnt attack you

[slater803]

this was filmed by a blind man on a pogo stick

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

...but I wanted to be more unique. Others videotape, tripod or not, but some dont have a mic input. Stereo or not, they dont have enough sense to go to Radio Shack, get an adaptor, maybe buy 2 microphones, and place them next to the speakers when they make these videos. I didnt put mine on a tropod, but the microphone was next to the speakers; my video here. I wanted to point out the lyrics, but I wanted to do it in a different way. but since I got a "3rd party' notice and stupid comments, i may

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

I may delete this video after all this!!! (I also did the audio wrong, but I have the stuff now)

[stebbieranch]

lol

[mackeny1]

haha hectic song, sound track from lord of war..mad fuckin movie 2...

[colby715]

good song terrible video i think he did to many drugs trying to make the damn video he cant hold the camera still to save his live

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

no i just didnt want my video to look like everybody elses

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

bad lighting that is why

[robdoeweed]

cocaine is the shit,its a white man drug

[srbrant]

i love that shit

[killadan8]

Do some cocaine first, then tell me about the songs meaning.

[Ddubya77]

Cocaine is awesome!!! until it kills you

[zacharyhoyt]

yeah but that hardly ever happens

[brayden107]

nice fucking video dueche bag

[kiss4u19]

fighting on the internet, is like a person running in the special Olympics, even if you win your still fucking retarded.!!

[kellikel13]

lol

[Xdarkninjalotus420]

PWNAGE LOL!!!!!!

[jamison53]

i dont think u understand, u r not disagreeing with my opinion, im just stating wat mr clapton says himself, also mr cale, seeing as he wrote the song he would know the meaning....and some people do get the meaning, just not you....

[jamison53]

anything that condones wild living. If theres an overriding theme to the rambling and casual collection, its the mature perspective of aging, wizened rockers who have seemingly outlived their fascination with worldly pleasures."

[ironfist3232]

... i just watched this vid cuz its a good song... i dont care what this song means or what it doesnt mean, it rocks! :|

[ryancrigg1]

You guys are fucking retarded this song glorifies cocaine it speaks of how coke will get rid of your blues Seriously have you guys even done coke its the fucking best substance to have been discovered you fucking idiots

[jamison53]

and btw, for all of u who think wikipedia is an unreliable source, ur wrong, the postings are moderated by knowledgable people so that when an idiot does post idiotic things it never even makes it to the web....

[syndicateluv]

pro-drug use, i mean are you retarded, he means using cocaine no doubt about it.

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

"Dont forget this fact, you cant get it back; cocaine."

Dont forget this fact, you cant get it back; cocaine.

Dont forget this fact, you cant get it back; cocaine.

Dont forget this fact, you cant get it back; cocaine.

[syndicateluv]

yeah i know the lyrics, and your still wrong go to google and look up the song meaning and then due some research on eric clapton, so fuck off your wrong

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

Eric Clapton didnt even write the song. Do you even know who wrote the song? Read Wikipedia lately? Ever heard of the words "Satire" , "Subtle", "alluding..." or "satirical elements" how about SARCASTIC!!! read wikipedia

[syndicateluv]

no i don't read wikipedia because any dumbass in this case you, can go up there and change what is said so fuck off and yes i know he didn't write the song but you don't even know what it's about so piss off dipshit, subtle and satire are two different things looks like you ought to shut the fuck up till you know what your talking about

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

the satire is subtle

the anti drug is subtle...

others will say that

that way

[syndicateluv]

your an idiot the word satire has a different meaning than the word subtle, he can't be using a satire and be subtle about antidrug use, so fuck off and go look up those words and go fuck yourself you little bitch cause i am getting tired of reading your bullshit ok, you are wrong the end alright you fucktard

[jamison53]

actually, it is an anti drug song, if u would read the lyrics ud realize that it means a drug addict needs to use drugs for everything they do...."if u wanna hang out youve gotta take her out, cocaine" etc etc,,,, u see????

[syndicateluv]

and if you ever used drugs you would know that it is not an antidrug song i know the lyrics so fuck you

[jamison53]

thats the problem, uve done too many drugs, its altered ur judgement to good decisions.......listen to TEMP. theyre right it is an anti drug song ur just too simple minded to realize it, u just hear the word cocaine and say "this song mean drugs rule! yeah!!!!!!" ........u miss the entire meaning of the song....

[syndicateluv]

first off i'm a fuck of a lot smarter than you so piss off bitch, you and that bitch temp are too sheltered from reality to see anything and you should make fun of someones problem with drugs, you insensitive cocksucker, fuck you, how about the lyrics "she don't lie, she don't lie," meaning the drugs don't lie to you unlike you fucktards who are too stupid to grasp the basics of the meaning your wrong now fuck off back to your sheltered lives cause you lost bitch

[jamison53]

here, read this qoute.. "Today, as a recovered alcoholic and drug user who has established one of the worlds foremost addiction treatment centers, he has yet to live down the perennial success of Cocaine (also penned by Cale), which he denies was ever an endorsement of the drug. Cales notoriously ambiguous lyrics make it easy for classic rock revelers to miss the songs implicit anti-drug message. With the release of the Clapton/Cale collaboration The Road to Escondido, listeners wont hear

[syndicateluv]

your fucking stupid ok. why would he sing the song if nobody would get the meaning, see your fucking retarded

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

but everybody else states different, just to be wise guys. but what does the lyric mean?:

"Don't forget this fact

You can't get it back, cocaine"

isnt that a subtle warning???

[killadan8]

Again, first try the drug then tell me the meaning. Stop making a fool of yourself...

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

you graduate college?

[elvisghost100]

Anti-drug my ass. There is no anti-drug message here at all. In fact, quite the opposite.

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

read the words

subtle

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

"If your thing is gone and you wanna ride on; cocaine.Dont forget this fact, you cant get it back; cocaine...." sounds subtle & sarcastic to me. "i don't see any serious arguements for your PROUD proclamation that this is anti-drug. say it out-right if you feel this way, cause it isn't clear. anti-drug is out-right always. this song isn't that. i can argue more for it being a pro-drug than anti. state your case or be less annoying about it.

[skvan]

i dont understand the she dont lie part and what this refers to. anybody?

[rredssoxlover28]

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

[viewfourth]

still love the stuff. WIERDO'S.

[Poko4Sho]

er...joint*

[Poko4Sho]

I always knew it was Anti-drug...listen to what he says. Fuck cocaine! Join a day keeps the doctor away.

[flavioroloff]

Nice video dude!! =D

[brikiss77]

Yeah, I think I see now, And when he says she don't lie he is being sardonic towards addicts

Thanks:)

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

Clapton didnt even write the song. Also check out the other comments left.

[brikiss77]

How is this an anti drug song?

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

read the other comments then read the lyrics. it is subtle.

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

"Dont forget this fact, you cant get it back; cocaine."

[curlingisgay]

I heard on the radio he did this song because he used coke to kick a herion addiction Im not sure whos facts are right but the song sounds like Its praising cocaine dont take me for being a dick Im just not sure whos right you know?

[nits101]

hey man i like the video orginal forsure (as im doing rails)

[murvman]

thank god its not a live performance

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

did you read wikipedia? i heard a live performance where they use the same guitar setup from the 1970's for the song. same guitar tone and setting... love it!!!

[bonjovifan89]

lol it's category is "Education"

[Gh3ttoBlast3r]

Actually, Clapton admitted it was an anti-drug song, but he didnt want to make it blatantly obvious that it was.

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

let me remind everybody of something:

Eric Clapton didn't write the song.

J.J. Cale did.

but it makes great 70's fodder...

[Gh3ttoBlast3r]

You're right

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

y' see, when some of us were kids, in the late 70's, we are taught by parents...then this song comes on the radio. you go 'ooooohhhh' and Ian MacKaye, in the movie "American Hardcore" gets it wrong. He is right about Lou Reed/Velvet Underground "Heroin", but all these years later, I read the lyrics and realise........

[KingFofo666]

Hey making this an anti-drug song destroys the feeling, please shut the fuck up :´(

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

why dont you also complane about this other youtube video: Nas - Made You Look / Eric Clapton - Cocaine. HMPH!

read other comments.

play JJ CALES version...

[everybodyelsedoesit]

Ei fazendo esta uma canção de anti-droga destrói o sentimento, por favor fecha o fuck para cima lê wikipedia e tem seu jovial fora de mim. Receba seu jovial fora de mim.

[dwjjtx]

written by JJ Cale

[nunurox]

this isnt anti drug

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

read the lyrics it is sarcastic & subtle...

"DONT FORGET THIS FACT YOU CANT GET IT BACK"

SACRASM:If your thing is gone and you wanna ride on; cocaine.

SUBTLE: Dont forget this fact, you cant get it back; cocaine.

[nunurox]

yeah he isnt being anti it he is just explaining that it gets you high and you cant get off of it.... and art there is no bullshit its ussualy real espically with eric clapton he was a real serious guy

btw coke is bad i agree but thats not what eric is saying

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

eric didnt even write the song...but still I LAUGH at it, and I LOVE THE DRUMS/PRODUCTION!

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

you can get the original version by JJ CALE from the "Fahrenheit 9/11" original soundtrack .

[nunurox]

ah thank you
