The idea for starting the project allegedly came to Raja Ram while he was thinking about making an album about the drugs he was on in his favorite places. Thus, their first, self-titled album featured 9 tracks about Ayahuasca, Hashish, Mescaline, LSD, Marijuana, Ecstasy, Magic Mushrooms, Salvia Divinorum and DMT. Not surprisingly, the tracks featured many quotes from Terence McKenna and samples from movies like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The album has been a big success, and 1200 Mics even released a Marijuana music video in 2003.
The second album, Heroes of the Imagination, was dedicated to famous inventors and scientists, including Leonardo Da Vinci, Galileo Galilei, Michael Faraday, Albert Einstein, Charles Babbage, Albert Hofmann, Francis Crick, James D. Watson, and Tim Berners-Lee. This album also contains the 2003 party hit, Acid for Nothing, a trance remix of Dire Straits' Money for Nothing (the track also replaced the phrase "I want my MTV" with "I want my LSD").

Ecstasy
1200 Mics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel stoned.
I feel stoned.
I feel really stoned!
The lyrics to 1200 Mics's song Ecstasy are short and to the point. The singer confesses that they feel stoned, and then reiterates it twice more. The repetition and emphasis on feeling stoned could be interpreted in a few different ways. One possible interpretation is that the singer is under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and is simply expressing the feeling that comes with being intoxicated. However, given the song's title (Ecstasy), it's more likely that the singer is specifically referring to the experience of taking ecstasy, a popular recreational drug known for its euphoric and stimulant effects. In this context, the repetition of "I feel stoned" could be seen as an attempt to capture the overwhelming sensation of being under the influence of the drug.
The use of the word "stoned" is also interesting. While the term typically refers to the effects of marijuana, it's not uncommon to hear it used more broadly to describe the feeling of being altered or disoriented in general. However, the use of this specific word could also further tie the lyrics to the experience of drug use. Stoned is not a term usually used to describe the feelings after taking ecstasy, so it could be a reference to a different kind of drug.
Overall, the lyrics to Ecstasy are relatively simple, but they convey a powerful feeling. Whether you interpret them as a straightforward expression of being under the influence or a more nuanced exploration of the drug experience, they capture the intense and overwhelming effects that can come with taking ecstasy.

I really wish this was higher quality. I remember finding this same video years ago but it was at least 720p. Made watching it so much better.
