I know that about under the board walk, but the lirics of the thing you posted, I would have never expected from you! ;)

References to being high, the munchies and weed. You surprised me mate!

It was a parody of a 64 year old song.....I was 19 then, do the math.......
I obviously didn't compose the lyrics nor endorse it.......I just wanted to take a chance and post it...I did have some mental reservations about doing so...some people just take it all in stride and move on in life.. For me, at my age, I am almost at the end of life's journey.
 
There is actually a really good background story to this song.

To cover that story we have to start at the beginning when a younger Afroman produced the Rap song "Because I got high".

In a lot of ways that song is a typical old school Country song. During the course of the song he loses his Wife, kids, car, dog and house because he got high. Additionally he made a few other bad decisions as well but we can stop there. Here is the clean version of the song and clean is a relative term. It's cleaner than the explicit version only. Still not very family friendly but he is singing to adults.


This song at it's nature is about how he screwed up his life by getting high. He says so in the song. Well that fact seems to have escaped the Adams County Sheriff's department Ohio.

Anyway anyone who writes and raps about getting high must have drugs in there possession. They raided his house. Busted up lots of his stuff you know how they do. Brake down the gates, rip out the walls and general destruction. They seized $4,000+ US in cash and left. No drugs were found. No charges were filed and $3,600 of the cash was returned to him. Some of the money came up missing they don't know where it went.

He inquired if they were going to fix his house and gate and off course they refused saying that is all on him.

Now he could have sued the police but where is that going to get him?

So his answer to raise money to pay for the damages was to write another song starring the police who raided his house. The footage from the officially video comes from his home security cameras. Here is the official Lemon Pound cake video.


The pound cake reference comes from the officers that were staring at his mother's pound cake on the one table.

Well the officers became the laughing stock of the force so they sued Afroman civilly for millions in damages.

Steve Lehto tells that story best.


And as mentioned by @Sbob Afroman just won that case.

Again that story is best told by Attorney Lehto.


Moral of the story. Check your facts before you conduct a Raid and if you wrongly raid a home apologize and fix it.
 
Some cops are a$$holes and always will be. My F-I-L is an ex-cop who hates my guts because I always refused to kiss his a$$. He is the worst sort of ex-cop who expects everybody to bow to him because he used to wear a badge! He's also one of the highest ranking Free Masons in Canada and again expects everybody to kiss his ring because he likes to play 'Mr. Dress Up' in his fancy apron on a regular basis and take part in funny handshake rituals and hazing routines on new members to keep them in their place (i.e. below him!). :mad:
