I’m not sure if this counts but…


You can probably tell by the title of the song alone which Bon Jovi song I’m referring to… and of course I’m talking about “Tokyo Road”.

The lyrics in the 2nd verse go:

In a bar, breathing smoke
Snorting whiskey, drinking coke


For more than 20 years I thought it was a funny play-on-words as I was not familiar with Pat Travers or any of his music. I’m not sure if this is a direct reference/rip-off of the above song or if it was a common expression in the US/Canada from that time.
