Hot Smoke and Sasafrass - Bubble Puppy (1968)
Loading...
Uploaded by clotho98 on Oct 27, 2008
Bubble Puppy was a Texan psychedelic rock band formed in 1964 in Austin, and consisted of Rod Prince and Todd Potter on lead guitars, Roy Cox on Bass and David "Fuzzy" Fore on drums. Bubble Puppy's "Hot Smoke & Sasafrass" made it to #14 on the Billboard 100 in the United States.
The name "Bubble Puppy" was taken from "Centrifugal Bumble-Puppy", a fictitious children's game in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. "Hot Smoke & Sasafrass" was a line lifted from an episode of The Beverly Hillbillies.
In the early 1970's the band moved to Los Angeles, and changed their name to Demian signing up with Nick St. Nicholas of Steppenwolf as a manager.
Demian released one self-titled album in 1971. In 1972, Bubble Puppy split up. The members of Bubble Puppy continued to be active in the music industry after the band's demise. Potter and Prince played with Sirius through the late 1970's, and Fore drummed with the Texas punk rock band D-Day, co-writing their cult hit "Too Young to Date".

I was fortunate enough to grow up in Austin and got to see these guys at the Vulcan Gas Company. Bubble Puppy...Shiva's Headband...The 13th Floor Elevators. Oh what fun we had there. The light shows on the walls were fantabulous!

Gosh. I remember buying this one on a 45. Where's the Way-Back Machine? I wanna go back! Anyone remember the tune, Apricot Brandy, by Rhinoceros?

@Civitatuccillo The difference with rap and mainstream pop, though, is that people of all ages hate it. I'm 18, and never did like it.

After listening to rap crap that I cant escape, this song is like "dying and going to heaven" but, oh well, I was young once and I suppose folks thought this music was driving them nuts,
At least for a few minutes, I remember my youth, being out with the boys, raising hell, and enjoying life
