"Draggin' the Line" by The Sugar Beats

 


The Sugar Beats are a Los Angeles, California band that specializes in rearranging pop songs from the '50s, '60s, and '70s for a younger audience.

This is their version of Tommy James' 1971 solo work "Draggin' the Line," which is widely maintained to be about the kid friendly activity of using cocaine. Replace the word draggin' with snortin', and voila!

For another Tommy James cover, As December Falls' version of "I Think We're Alone Now" can be found here.
