Stampfel & Weber - Junker's Blues
Well, some people say I use the needle
And they say I got the habit bad
But that junk’s the best feeling
In this whole wide world that I ever, ever had
★ Verse 2 ★
And some people crave fried chicken
And some people just crave a porterhouse steak
But when I’m shootin’ that junk
All I want is my milk, my milk and my cake
Maybe a Twinkie or two
★ Verse 3 ★
So it’s la-tee-ta, la-ta-tee-ta
La-tee-tee-ta-ta-ta, la-ta-tee-ta
La-tee-da, la-tee-da
La-tee-da-da, le-da-da-da-le-da
★ Verse 4 ★
Some people call me a junker
And they say I sniff cocaine
But no matter what they say
I’m still feeling good just the same
Song Description:
edit soundcloudThe song challenges societal norms and judgments, with the narrator defiantly owning their addiction despite the stigma attached to it. The repetitive refrain of "la-tee-ta, la-ta-tee-ta" adds to the hypnotic and almost trance-like feel of the song, capturing the allure and escapism that drug use can provide.
Despite being labeled as a "junker" and facing criticism for their drug use, the narrator remains unapologetic and defiant, asserting that they feel good regardless of what others may think. "Junker's Blues" is a powerful and honest portrayal of addiction and the complexities of human desires and struggles.
