Feel Good Hit of the Summer
Liam Prodigy Lyrics

Liam Prodigy's song "Feel Good Hit of the Summer" is a straightforward and provocative song that links some of the most popular recreational drugs in a catchy refrain. The lyrics describe a mix of six drugs: nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine, and alcohol. Prodigy has stated that he wrote the song while on tour in the U.S. and noticing how often the band saw people taking one or more of these drugs in the crowd. The simple yet effective repetition of the drug names in the chorus drives home the point that many people use these substances for recreational purposes--sometimes together.

The song has both drawn praise and critical rebuke for its frank depiction of drug use, with some pointing out that the lyrics' list of drugs could encourage young people to try them. However, others have pointed out that the song is more of a statement about the prevalence of drug use in American society than an endorsement of it.

Overall, "Feel Good Hit of the Summer" presents a snapshot of drug use culture through the endearing language and catchy repetitions that very quickly got stuck in the minds of people who heard it at the time of its release.
