"I Buy the Drugs" is one of the thirteen new songs on Switzerland, the third album from Detroit's Electric Six, and it went out ahead of the record as a digital download on August 15, 2006, a few weeks before the album reached American shops that September. The band shot a video for it on July 1 and put it up on their MySpace page in early August.
It suits the album's cheeky mission statement: the band bragged that for once no song title contained the word "dance", then promised that drugs, girls and parties were still very much on the menu. Tyler Spencer wrote it, Dick Valentine sings it, The Colonel and Johnny Na$hinal play guitars, John R. Dequindre plays bass and Percussion World drums, Peters & Peters produced, and the synthesizer belongs to Tait Nucleus?
