"Smokin' In the Boys Room"
Motley CrueOriginally done by Brownsville Station in 1973, the Crue covered this classic rock tune in 1985. Some might say that it was more innocent in '73 that it was cigarettes being puffed on but I suspect that they were of the left-handed variety.

WeezerAlternative rockers Weezer don't leave alot up to guess other than why in the hell did they use Sumo wrestlers to illustrate a song about toking up in their video.

"Sweet Leaf"
Black SabbathIn the original studio version, the song starts with a dry, hacking cough that sounds like someone just took a massive rip. In this live concert footage filmed in Moscow, Russia in 1989, starts with Randy Castillo laying down the opening beats.
