Songs

The song "Get Out!" originally appeared on Sublime's debut album 40 Oz. to Freedom but had to be removed when the album was picked up for distribution by MCA Records, due to the presence of unauthorized samples. The samples were all removed or replaced, and the song was rereleased on Second-hand Smoke as "Get Out! (remix)". The original version of "Get Out!" complete with the samples can be found on Sublime's "Bums Lie" bootleg. The song "Chick On My Tip" is perceived as an entirely English language version of "Chica Me Tipo" from 40 Oz. to Freedom although the Spanish lyrics do not translate to the same content as in the English version. The title "Chica Me Tipo" translates to the English "My Type Of Girl". "Badfish" and "Saw Red" are the only songs to appear on this album unchanged from their original LP versions. Noteworthy of the song "Saw Red" is that Gwen Stefani sings a duet with Nowell; the song was originally released on the band's second album Robbin' the Hood in 1994. This was before Stefani's band "No Doubt" hit mainstream success.
