Who’s Got The Herb: A Great Song With Questionable Lyrics
Through thousands of years, the wonders of herbal medication have never ceased to amaze and give us benefits when it comes to our health. Due to the benefits herbal medication has given the people of ancient times, most especially ancient Chinese, the use of alternative medicine has already crossed over to the western countries and other parts of the world.
Because of the popularity of herbs and its benefits, even popular bands or groups like the 311 wrote a song about herbs entitled, Who’s Got the Herb but clearly, they are talking about a different kind of herb that some, particularly the authorities may view as something illegal. The song Who’s Got the Herb by 311 is on their live album and has been receiving rave reviews from people.
Dissecting The Lyrics
The song, Who’s Got the Herb has a very catchy, upbeat tune that is sure to make any reggae or rock fan love the song because not only it evokes its love for a good time, but also the song is so upbeat that it makes you want to dance or just chill out and enjoy the moment. Clearly, from the lyrics of Who’s Got the Herb, the group 311 is not talking about alternative medicine but talks about marijuana which was once considered to be a part of alternative cures for certain ailments. Right now, though some may not realize or know it, marijuana is being prescribed to some cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy to help ease the nausea and free them from the pain brought about by the process of the medication.
With lines in the song like when we roll a big one, it feels so right (it feels so right) and when we smoke it in our bong, it feels so nice (it feels so nice) clearly, it talks about the use of marijuana and the feeling of high it gives. The song Who’s Got the Herb clearly is a song that contains lyrics not suitable for all audiences and may be offensive for some people, but whatever the listener’s opinion may be about the song, it is only the artist’s expression of a good time and his love for the herb.
To sum it all up, the song, Who’s Got the Herb may be not for all audiences but with its catchy tone with a hint of reggae and rock it is worth listening to. You may buy the album by 311 from music stores like Tower Records, Virgin Records, or Music1 or download them at www.napster.com and www.iTunes.com.
