Depends on what you're looking for. "Let's Go Smoke Some Pot" by Dash Rip Rock is kind of catchy and funny. "Smoke Two Joints" by the Toys is a classic.
Here's a good one.
I'm also looking for the track "Kids Are Getting High," which is sung to "Rocky Mountain High".
A friend of mine has been a professional smoker for probably 40 years (he's pushing 60). Huge music head as well ... good friends with the Sun Ra Arkestra going back about 25 years, hangs out with the Daptone family on the regular, etc. He's an original Head, to be sure. Never met another like him.
Anyway, I helped him put together a couple of hemp song mixes. Now, there are a few cornball tunes here and there but, for the most part, these lists are decent. If I had more time, I'd put up audio for all of them ... I'll put up songs by request if anyone is interested.
Here are the lists anyway:
Disc one:
1. Junker's Blues - King Curtis & Champion Jack Dupree 2. Marijuana Mantra - Kuno & the Marijuana Brass 3. Smoke Two Joints - The Toyes 4. (Hey Uncle Sam) Leave Us Pot Smokers Alone - The Toyes 5. Monster Hash - The Toyes 6. The Dope Smokin' Song - Hank Flamingo 7. Too High For The Supermarket - The Uninvited [definitely corny] 8. Music's So Much Better When You're High - The Mighty Elves 9.

When I Get Low, I Get High - Ella Fitzgerald & the Chuck Webb Orch. 15. My Jamaican Collie - Max Romeo 16. Take A Lift - Jacob Miller 17. Herb Smoking - Peter Tosh 18. Sensimilea - Barrington Levy 19. Grassfire - John Trudell 20. Positive Herb - Niyo Rah 21. Jay - Eek A Mouse
Disc two:
1. Mary Mary - Inner Circle 2. Up In Smoke - Cheech & Chong 3. Pakalolo - Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole 4. Addicted - Amy Winehouse 5. The Lolo That Stole My Pakalolo - Don Ho 6. International Farmer - Peter Broggs 7. Sidemousin' The Bong - Mike Watt 8. ???Pack A Bowl For Me??? - Lok E. Coyote 9. Smokin' Reefers - Larry Adler 10. Give Me Another Joint - Damn Sam the Miracle Man 11. Sensemilla - Mighty Diamonds 12. Bush Doctor - Peter Tosh 13. You're A Viper - Stuff Smith & His Onyx Club Boys 14. Ganja George - Lok E. Coyote 15. One Good Spliff - Ziggy Marley & the Melody Makers 16. Collie Herb - Horace Andy 17. Drop 215 (I Love Weed) - Eek A Mouse 18. George Washington - John Sinclair 19. African Herbsman - Superdude 20. Weed - Bea Foote 21. In The Name Of Love - Daddy X
I've always been partial to those 1930's herb tunes ... like Fats Waller's "You'se A Viper" ... there are versions galore ...
Yeah, I have a grip of those comps from the 70's on "Stash Records" filled with weed/drug songs, and I love them all. People really knew how to sing about weed back then, haha. I like "Killin' Jive" by the Cats and the Fiddle.
I forgot about "Doobie Ashtray". I think it's an amazing song but it's a little introspective and not really on some "let's get high" stuff. Necessarily. 'Til the end.

Dreamed about a reefer of five feet long
Not too fat and not too strong
You get high, but not for long
If you'se a viper
Now I'm the king of everything
Got to get high for to sing
Light that tee and we will see
If you'se a viper
... also Sylford Walkers' "Lambs Bread"....
yes I wanna
smoke a spliff
while I'm doin' Madonna.

Yeah, I have a grip of those comps from the 70's
on "Stash Records" filled with weed/drug songs, and
I love them all. People really knew how to sing about
weed back then, haha. I like "Killin' Jive" by the
Cats and the Fiddle.
this is one of my favorite songs about weed ever.
If you got enough money to buy yourself a new pair of jeans.... hehe
"Fresh Air " - Mad Professor
this and "Pack the Pipe" for personal stoner reasons...
Don't forget "Pass the Bone"
Down To Seeds And Stems Again, Too Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Air Men.
Willin' Little Feat
New Riders Of The Purple Sage had a smuggling song on the first record I used to like, can't remember the name. Not Panama Red which I never liked.
Any direct Beatles references? Oh yeah, Day In A Life.
What Motown songs are about weed? Mentioned in Living For The City. Rick James and Marvin Gaye most have something I'm not thinking of.
2. Hopeton Lewis - Cool Collie
Hell yes.
And in the rapp category: "Puffin' On A Cloud" by the Beatnuts. The sloppy EZ-latin loop just adds to the topic of the song.
from "here my dear"
funky space reincarnation: "smoke i got from venus, had it all week, come on babe and try this new thing with me"
and "is that enough?":
why do i have to pay attorney's fees?...attorney fees! this is a joke; i need a smoke, wait a minute.
and of course rick has "mary jane"
