"Pass It Around" is the debut single by British rock band Smokie. It was released on 21 March 1975 as the only single from the album of the same name.[1]

Although the single was promoted on various TV shows, it didn't make it into BBC Radio 1 rotation. The problem was the censors, who thought that the ambiguous lyrics and the band's name could be seen as a reference to smoking marijuana, it failed to chart in the UK.[1][2]
