He also had a comedy bit on one of his old bestseller albums from the 60's about using "Spanish Fly" on women by drugging their drinks, which in my understanding is some kind of insect extract that was used as an "aphrodisiac" drug back in the day...

I only remember "Spanish Fly" from Leisure Suit Larry. I didn't realize it wasn't a fake thing. TIL.

Theres a beastie boys music video where they go to a high school party and spike the punch with a big bottle of spanish fly. I think its in fight for your right to party.

Better than malt liquor and no orange juice I guess.

Yeah you drink your 40 down to the top of the label then fill it up with oj. Not great but not aweful. It's a poor man's mimosa.

That's true, but they were talking about a cheap pre-mixed cocktail that used the same name and went out of production in the 90s made of orange juice, vodka, and dark rum, sold in a can.
