Chew
In honor of my roommate Jim in college, who used chewing tobacco. He had a dog named Bonzai, and anytime Bonzai would do anything stupid, he'd say, "Bonzai, you're pissing me off!" and of course the dog would cower for a minute and then come back and be as loving as ever once again. We both joked about making a list of songs that have chewing tobacco references in them.
20 years later, here's the start of that list. There's got to be hundreds more out there. Please email any of your song suggestions to me. Pass this page on to friends who are pop music buffs or music hobbyists.
