Laid
Back: White Horse
Wasn't
this song featured on one of the GTA games?
I
remember listening to this song way back in the 80s. Most people
have totally forgotten about this strange song, but I've heard it before recently. Looking
at the wiki, it says this is a synth-pop group called Laid Back.
I didn't understand that the song was about cocaine until someone
told me. Imagine my shock as a little kid.
Here
are some of the strange lyrics.
((White
horse
Don't ride the white horse
No no no ))
Don't ride the white horse
No no no ))
I
know the White Horse is cocaine, but what isthe White Pony?
((If
you want to ride
Ride the white pony
Ride, ride the white pony
White pony, white pony, white pony))
Ride the white pony
Ride, ride the white pony
White pony, white pony, white pony))
The
problem is White Pony is also used for drug use too. From
Urban dictionary, ((Cocaine.
Although the term is often used to describe a multitude of other
illegal substances, it was originally used as a slang term for the
stimulant-drug cocaine (a processed extract of leaves from the
Erythroxylum Coca plant).
))
What
is funny about doing research on the terms, the entry on White
Horse mentions this song in the entry.
The
beat has been used in other songs, but it was featured in Monifah's
song Touch It.
