My latest song addiction is the 1947 Tex Williams hit, “Smoke, Smoke, Smoke (That Cigarette)”…I have been listening to this on loop all day. It’s so damn catchy! This is an anti-smoking song, but it’s not because they’re unhealthy (“I don’t reckon’ that they hinder your health”), it’s because smoking takes a long time and makes other people wait. But after listening to this chorus about a zillion times, holy crap, all I want to do is start smoking cigarettes!!
There are two performances here…the first one is one of the originals from the ’40s, but it’s a bit out of sync. The other one features an older Tex Williams a few decades later…but he’s still got it.
