oh god the youtube comments.
If only there was something they could all take to mellow out a little.
Oh god I saw a rerun of this on PBS as a kid and blocked it out.
To anyone who doubts the drug reference, I direct you to 0:15.
I'm not nearly high enough to watch this shit without getting incredibly depressed. What is it about children's programming from the 70s?
I don't understand why the cartoon changes the name of the boy from "Jackie Paper" (as in the original song) to "Jackie Draper". Though I do admit "Draper" is a better last name, you can pretend he's related to Don Draper.
Because part of the original controversy about the song was the claim that "paper" referred to rolling papers, I think.
Also "dragon" = "drag on" a joint.
Whether there's any truth to it or not doesn't matter, it's just as good either way.
That song is such a downer.
As a kid, I always wondered how Jackie died. ("A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys.")
