I now know what people are talking about when they say canned heat

[Zuni]

that shit in a sterno bottle fucks your ass up

[datasuspect]

1. that shit will give you a buzz

[Zuni]

2. it will also cause paralysis over time

people who used to drink that shit would lose control over one limb after another

[datasuspect]

5. what doesn't

give you paralysis of some sort?

[kmla]

3. Didn't they have a hit in the late 60's or early seventies???

Their lead singer had a rather unique delivery, IIRC...

(But somehow, I don't think you are talkin' about THAT Canned Heat.)

My bad.

[Zuni]

6. no, I was talking about the moonshine like drink

made from sterno and drunk by people in the boonies

7. Canned Heat - On the Road Again (nothing like the WIllie Nelson song)

Well, I'm so tired of crying,
But I'm out on the road again.
I'm on the road again.
Well, I'm so tired of crying,
But I'm out on the road again.
I'm on the road again.
I ain't got no woman
Just to call my special friend.
You know the first time I traveled
Out in the rain and snow -
In the rain and snow,
You know the first time I traveled
Out in the rain and snow -
In the rain and snow,
I didn't have no payroll,
Not even no place to go.
And my dear mother left me
When I was quite young -
When I was quite young.
And my dear mother left me
When I was quite young -
When I was quite young.
She said "Lord, have mercy
On my wicked son."
Take a hint from me, mama,
Please don't you cry no more -
Don't you cry no more.
Take a hint from me, mama,
Please don't you cry no more -
Don't you cry no more.
'Cause it's soon one morning
Down the road I'm going.
But I aint going down
That long old lonesome road
All by myself.
But I aint going down
That long old lonesome road
All by myself.
I can't carry you, Baby,
Gonna carry somebody else.
