One Toke Over On Youtube

The truly bizarre things I find there -- my brain has just broken. Did the Lawrence Welk singers even know what the word "toke" meant?

Spark one up, everybody...

I'm going to have to watch the Lawrence Welk show while high! :)

Funny stuff!

My mom always called it the "wacky tabaccy".

My grandpa never missed Lawrence Welk. After every song he would say "That was a dandy!" He probably saw this song when it aired in the 70s and never knew they were singing about ganja. :-)

Here's some small kind of explanation that someone provided. The idea of "toke" as "excess". Amusing. :)

Back when I worked at the film archive, we had this on a reel of other Welk episodes. I ended up texting my boyfriend trying to explain what I had just seen.
