Smellin' Skynyrd

Now they call you Prince Charming
Can't speak a word when you're full of 'ludes
Say you'll be all right come tomorrow
But tomorrow might not be here for you
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
Hey, you're a fool you
Stick them needles in your arm
I know I been there before
One little problem that confronts you
Got a monkey on your back
Just one more fix, Lord might do the trick
One hell of a price for you to get your kicks
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
(The Imbiber says: Despite the widely-held belief that “That Smell” is about a drug overdose, I have it on good authority that the song is actually about singer Ronnie Van Zant’s most wicked fart ever. Seriously though, this song from the 1977 album “Street Survivors” is waaaay creepy — three days after the album was released, Van Zant and two other band members were killed when their chartered plane crashed in Mississippi. The album cover depicted the band engulfed in flames. It was changed after the crash.)
