1 Puff
Puff, the magical dragon is a 1963 song by Peter, Paul, and Mary that became famous and sparked controversy when it was suggested that “puffing the magical dragon” had anything to do with marijuana use. Despite the fact that the song’s composers have frequently refuted this urban legend and have said unequivocally that no references to drug usage were intended, the urban legend persists. The lyrics recount the narrative of Puff, an ageless dragon, and Jackie Paper, his little companion. Jackie loses interest in Puff as he gets older, leaving the magical dragon alone and unhappy.
