Bellamy Brothers, “Drug Problem”

by Kevin John Coyne

January 21, 2008

An unassuming morality yarn.     The Bellamys’ trademark low-key delivery make this laundry list of good drug problems easily palatable.   See, he was drug to church on Sunday morning, drug to family reunions, drug to the woodshed when he misbehaved.   If all kids had “drug problems” like that, the world would be a better place, right?

It’s been done a million times before, and it goes on way too long; they essentially sing the entire song twice.    But it’s pleasant enough.
