              The song was written by Jon Fogerty several years before Ike and Tina recorded it.  I saw an interview of Fogerty with Dan Rather where he talks about writing the song.  If you get cable, look for the AXS channel, as they replay interviews.  It is channel 299 on Spectrum in Syracuse.

              Here is a link that is also interesting.  It explains Ike and TIna's take on the song.

and John Fogerty was not a drug user at all

          If the main line was "One Josh Allen pass, over the line,"  the song would have lost its reefer connection and wouldn't have changed any of the meaning.

Bob Marley's version of the "munchies" & late-night snack attack:
 
"Said, said, said, I remember when-a we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire lights, I seh
A log wood burnin' through the night
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge, I seh
Of which I'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
And so I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone..."
 
The Fugees cover version, Jersey Style:
 

 

"Say say say
I remember when we used to rock in a project yard in Jersey
And little Georgie would make the firelight
As stolen cars passed through the night
And then we'd hit the corner store for roots, paper, and brew
My drink's my only remedy
For pain of losing family, but while I'm gone shorty
Everything's gonna be alright, everything's gonna be alright
Fugees come to the dance tonight, everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
The gun man's in the house tonight
But everything's gonna be alright..."

 

Did @DC Tom reference this anthem yet:

Here’s an entire comedy album about weed. At one time I thought it was funny, but as I listen to it today, I think maybe not. 

 

 

Still funny...

I guess Mary Jane makes a cameo in this song:

 

 

 

I hate country twang .....  at least give us a time stamp.  

 

 

to soothe EII's broken heart 

I can stomach a few songs and or artists.
