30 Days in the Hole was the seventh single released in 1972 by English rock outfit Humble Pie, one of the first so-called supergroups of the 1960s-'70s. The song was a radio hit, but failed to chart. Its b-side in the U.S. was "Sweet Peace and Time", while everywhere else they were "C'mon Everybody" and "Road Runner".
The song, a group composition, mentions many illegal drugs, slang references for marijuana such as Durban poison, a potent strain originating from South Africa, and Black Lebanese, a type of hashish.
| “ | Black Napalese, it's got you weak in your knees, it's just some seeds and dust that you got bust on, you know it's hard to believe, 30 days in the hole.... | ” |
The song has been much covered, most notably by Gov't Mule and Mr. Big, and remains possibly one of the group's better known songs.
