Track seven on Big Hug, California legal-weed comedy at full Scoobert myth register. SDRC is San Diego Recreational Cannabis, the Mission Valley dispensary where the narrator runs into his second- and fourth-grade teacher in line, what a dankery delight. That’s the whole bit: that’s how we kick it now in California, like it’s just a normal store. The chorus is the quit-tomorrow loop every smoker knows, I’ll cut back tomorrow collapsing straight into wake and bake / I guess there’s always tomorrow.
The hook lifts its title from the Heffalumps and Woozles dream sequence in Winnie-the-Pooh and reuses it as a stoner vision, my vision never clear / come puff and pass my dear, with the persona’s own pun folded into this is my brother Doobie. Verse three goes generational: grandma in the retirement home baking magic brownies, couch-locked Jeopardy puzzles, and Benny Goodman never sounded this good before, a preview of JAZZ FLUTE energy years later. Awesome but bizarre is the thesis.
Not a cover, just Luke’s lyrics with a borrowed reference for a joke. Same Big Hug lane as I’m an Idiot and I Live in California: approachable post-pandemic weirdness, not MMM dread.
Written, performed, and mixed by Luke Francis Walton. Mastered by Riley Knapp.
Lyrics
Saw my second and fourth grade teacher In the SDRC line We had the same bud-tender What a dankery delight We drove to Fiesta Island And burned one out there laughing Like "how the world has changed, man Can you pass the lighter?" That's how we kick it now in California Like it's just a normal store yeah I shouldn't get this high every day I guess I'll cut back tomorrow Oh no no no no no And then I wake and bake I guess there's always tomorrow Oh no no no no no My heffalumps and woozles My vision never clear Come puff and pass my dear Don't hold out on ol' Scooby This is my brother Doobie Black water need to clear Roll another one or twoozle For the heffalumps and woozles The heffalumps and woozles Visit my grandma in the retirement home She baking magic brownies Got me doing puzzles all day long Couch-locked watching Jeopardy Benny Goodman never sounded this good before Got the clarinet flowing Yeah grandma be zoning This is awesome but bizarre I shouldn't get this high every day I guess I'll cut back tomorrow Oh no no no no no And then I wake and bake I guess there's always tomorrow Oh no no no no no My heffalumps and woozles My vision never clear Come puff and pass my dear Don't hold out on ol' Scooby This is my brother Doobie Black water need to clear Roll another one or twoozle For the heffalumps and woozles The heffalumps and woozles
