Dana Lauren sings Swedish songwriter/entertainer Povel Ramel’s 1942 composition “Coffee Calls for a Cigarette” live with guitarist Dave Veslocki on Lite 100.5 WRCH in 2011.
"Him" by Rupert Holmes: Over by the window There's a pack of cigarettes Not my brand, you understand Sometimes the girl forgets She forgets to hide them I know who left those smokes behind ... (This was the first song I ever heard that used the word "smokes" as a noun.)
Divine Comedy: 'Absent Friends' " ... Woodbine Willie couldn't rest until he'd given every bloke a final smoke, before the killing. Old Woodbine Willie ..." Woodbine Willie was the nickname given to a priest who volunteered to go to the Western Front during WWI and who gave comfort to the soldiers who were injured, including handing out 'Woodbine' cigarettes - a popular brand here in the UK. Best Wishes, David
k.d lang put out an entire album of covers of songs about smoking called (heh heh) "Drag". Drag (k.d. lang album) - Wikipedia
Bowie - Blackout: "The weather's grim, ice on the cages Me, I'm Robin Hood and I puff on my cigarette Panthers are steaming, stalking, screaming..."
My favourite version of "Don't Smoke In Bed". Hermine, from the album "Lonely at the Top" I suggest hear past the "unusual" vocal and listen to the emotion.
Modern Lovers - Modern World: "And me in love with the USA, now And me in love with the modern world, now Put down the cigarette And drop out of B.U."
John Doe, "Dyin' to Get Home" "I'm just dying to get home Smoking a cigarette and drinking all night long I got a nickel in my pocket, a heartache on the phone As I crawl into this bottle, I'm just dying to get home"
I don't think I've seen this one mentioned yet? Jethro Tull - "With You There to Help Me" from Benefit: "Flying so high, trying to remember How many cigarettes did I bring along?"
