Song Challenge Day 8 - A Song About Drugs or Alcohol

Laid Back - White Horse

I remember hearing this song as a kid, but of course I had no idea what it was about. I just thought they were talking about riding horses. Turns out it's a warning against using heroin (white horse). But they're not complete buzzkills. If you're going to do drugs, they recommend cocaine (white pony), because somehow that's better.

It does have a really good groove, and I find that I have this song stuck in my head somewhat regularly.

This song was later sampled by Monifah, who had a huge hit with Touch It.
