Songs That Open With Their Titles:
"One Toke Over The Line"
Opening Lines: One toke over the line sweet Jesus, one toke over the line. Sittin' downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line
Comments: Actually had two more hits on the Billboard charts ("Tarkio Road" and "Shake Off The Demon"). But Brewer & Shipley are considered a one-hit wonder because "One Toke Over The Line" was so successful.

Songs That Are Banned:
"One Toke Over The Line"
In 1971, New York radio station WNBC bans this song because of it's alleged drug references. Other stations around the country follow suit. The song's composer, Tom Shipley, responds, "In this age of electronic pulling a record because of its lyrics is like the burning of books in the Thirties (sic: 1930's)."
