Järvinen left the band in 1975, being replaced again by Ile Kallio. Albert Järvinen did return to the helm twice afterwards, first replacing the departed Kallio in 1979 and later during their ill-fated comeback attempt in 1988. Ile Kallio on the other hand returned for another year in 1983, after Janne Louhivuori had left. Louhivuori had been with the band since 1981, when Järvinen was unceremoniously fired after a disastrous gig, where he had been performing heavily under the influence.
After the band's demise in 1984 bassist Häkkinen fell on hard times and problems with alcohol led to his untimely death on December 26, 1990. His fellow bandmate Järvinen didn't last much longer as he was found dead in a London hotel room on March 24, 1991. The legendary line-up of Remu Aaltonen, Cisse Häkkinen and Albert Järvinen had reunited briefly for a string of dates in summer 1988, but old disagreements between Järvinen and Aaltonen caused the former to be sacked midway the tour and he was replaced once again by Janne Louhivuori for the remaining few dates. The live album from the tour, Live at Metropol (released late 1988) had Louhivuori on guitar.
Kallio has had a successful career performing with his wife Kaija Kärkinen, while Aaltonen resurrected the name Hurriganes in 2001. Other members have come and gone, the current line-up consists of Aaltonen, bassist Mikko Löytty and guitarist Nipa Niilola.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blow some doe on sweet time smoke vacation
Flying high babe down to Acapulco
Don't expect to se me round a while
Mary Jane , Mary Jane , I'm coming
Mary Jane , Mary Jane , hold on now
Mary Jane , J-J-J-J-Jane , I'm flying
Mary , Mary Take me to the moon
Mexicana fuzz don't ever see his wings
Happy landings high up in the mountain
Up that peak you really feel a king
Mary Jane , Mary Jane , I'm coming
Mary Jane , Mary Jane , hold on now
Mary Jane , J-J-J-J-Jane , I'm flying
Mary , Mary take me to the moon
I'm gonna take a plane to Acapulco
Blow some doe on sweet time smoke vacation
Flying high baby down to Acapulco
Don't expect to see me around a while
Mary Jane , Mary Jane , I'm coming
Mary Jane , Mary Jane , hold on now
Mary Jane , J-J-J-J-Jane , I'm flying
Mary , Mary , take me to the moon
Hurriganes's song Mary Jane is a classic rock song that has a strong association with marijuana culture. The lyrics depict the singer's desire to escape reality and indulge in a vacation full of Mary Jane or marijuana in Acapulco, Mexico. The singer is taking a plane to Acapulco to blow some money on sweet time smoking marijuana while enjoying a vacation. The lyrics also mention the singer’s pilot, who is a “hot rod” and crosses the border without attracting attention from the Mexican authorities. The singer feels like a king when he reaches the peak of the mountain, presumably due to the effects of marijuana. The song describes a psychedelic but carefree lifestyle, where the singer seeks momentary release from the pressures of reality.
The repeated line “Mary Jane, Mary Jane, I’m coming” can be interpreted in a few ways. Mary Jane is a common nickname for marijuana, which suggests that the singer is going to indulge in the drug during the trip. However, it is also worth noting that Mary Jane can also be used as a female name. The line “Mary Jane, Mary Jane, hold on now” suggests that the singer is addressing Mary Jane, implying that the song is vocalizing the idea of addiction. The song describes a character who is eager to escape reality, and the repeated lines directed towards Mary Jane might depict his longing towards the drug.
Overall, the song Mary Jane is a classic rock anthem that celebrates the culture of marijuana consumption. The psychedelic vibe and the carefree lifestyle described in the song are characteristic of the 1970s. The lyrics also suggest the singer's addiction to Mary Jane or marijuana, indicating that the song is a warning to the youth about the harmful effects of drugs.
