Apologies for what I’m about to inflict upon you. Pseudo-hippy HannaH*s Field and her dreadlocked white wannabe-Rasta mate decided to record a song about the pleasures of smoking weed/mouldy hash/doob etc called ‘Puff Puff Give’. These modern day gypsy “warriors of love” give it to us straight. “Use, enhance your mind / Helps the blind / rocks DJs to rhyme on time” and “Good in da brownie, Rice Krispie treat / groovin’, dancin’ in bare feet”. Apparently a guitar, a bongo and a white guy with dreadlocks can establish a new genre called “gypsy reggae”. I can almost hear you wretch as you read this. This is not a joke I assure you. See the website. The indirect result is the best anti-drug propaganda ever made.
This one is dedicated to the crusties and hippies smoking the ‘erb down by the Spanish Arch.

Niall Niall Niall.
I know you only posted this to provide a public service of sorts, but jaysus. Don’t know how I made it to the end of the clip.
These people should be banned. Yes that’s right, I said it. At least until the moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars.
On the upside, this aural pestilence has just spurred me on to complete a song I’ve been working on; we must crush the shit music with great music. I’ll do my bit! Who’s with me?
“Comes from the earth, the earth can’t hurt” — maybe they’ll do us a favour and apply that logic to a little Amanita phalloides, eh?
oh god I just got to the mid-90’s style faux-toasting. MY EARS ARE BLEEDING
*falls over*
On the plus side the Arts Festival parade last night was excellent.
On the bad side I’m just after coming back from work having to cycle through the Spanish arch on the way home. Two crusties under it, one playing god-awful harmonica while the other playing (and playing is a strong word) guitar and chanting streams on nonsense.
I’ll think go watch that Die Hippie Die episode of South Park to calm me down.
Lowering the standards of the earth!

Mr. J
lots of support for this, I see
I think I may refrain from this particular aural shindig on this occasion
christ…….that is awful……
pseudo-crusties are the worst kind of crusty.
would put you off the doob, wouldn’t it?
i love the line “good in the brownie rice krispie treat” where the syllables don’t fit.there’s musicality for ya.
A little piece of me died watching that clip…..
“would put you off the doob, wouldn’t it?”
…lets not get carried away here…:)
Holy.fucking.shit.
Puff puff give me a double-barrelled shotgun with which I shall remove my own head from my own body, through the medium of blastage.
This is not representative of my beloved home county of Galway but, yes, the G-town crusties will love it.
what the holy jesusing fuck is this? have these people no shame???!!!! offensive on every level…
“it comes from the earth and the earth can’t hurt”

I Chortle.
Nuke ’em though. Nuke all of the bastards
You just hate hippies nialler. Can’t you see that rasta is the real deal? He’s wearing a peter tosh t-shirt. Can’t get more credible than that.
Bill’s nettles treatment is probably a good idea.
Shit. It’s actually kind of catchy. Balls.
good lord, rice crispie treats?! wouldn’t be surprised if i saw em busking in ten minutes on shop st when i leave the house, no worse than any of the other godfuckingawful buskers around galway, nuke em
although i fell around the place laughin at this,
I agree – single most convinving reason i’ve seen so far to stop smokin doob
All white guys with dreadlocks look like they need a bath and some parenting.
Douchebag.
oh good jesus…….i hate galway now, fluckin hippies.
That is hilarious…well done….you should send that to Saturday Night Live…classic comey sketch……….what…oh just been told you were serious doing that…..OH!
I like it.
Genocide can have positive effects too…..
thats almost as bad as hardcore christian music.
someone commented on the video that the mc’in reminded them of early snoop dogg.
id like to kill them all.
Sure the song’s shit, but fuck sake Niall, you’re above posting a hatchet piece. Better a drippy hippy any day, than one of the countless smug office drones infesting Dublin’s music scene with their me too, weekend warrior, british indie / electronica drivel.
