This song is genius. The drug innuendo is obvious, but the vinyl reference is heavier, it beats it. To me, this song is about someone who has dealt with a heroin addiction, but now finds the joy in the music.
He wants you to think about smack, he compares it to music, using the same metaphorical writing as a heroin song.
This line clinches it for me: "I'd rather you than her."
Could be talking about choosing drugs or music over a woman. But I think he's preferring music over heroin. Heroin gets referred to as a woman in a lot of music.
Then there's the tempo of the song.. It's a bloody celebration! This is someone who's conquered addiction and is rocking hard! Awesome!
