Regardless of its original intent, Puff The Magic Dragon became an icon of the 60's drug culture.

It was a childhood favorite of mine and many kids. Too bad it was attributed to the drug scene.

I hated that song, and it still sounds pussified all these years later....Ear bleach song.

It was one of those songs played to death on the radio until you switched the dial when it came on. My elementary school teacher played it a lot.
But it will be one of my favorites and even today will get kids singing along.
