Snoop Dogg’s spin on a classic: “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” gets a hip-hop makeover, and its numbers are as high as the clouds. But that’s not all—Alex Warren scores a surprise chart-topper.
From Slow Burns to Blazing Charts
Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” just pulled off the ultimate underdog story. Released back in February, the track went from #308 to #50 in March…then caught fire. Last week, the single hit #4. This week? Boom—#1. It’s the kind of steady burn that makes a chart moment feel earned. A burn so nice even Snoop would be proud.
Right behind the heat: Snoop Dogg. The hip-hop icon debuted at #98 with his reefer-wrapped reimagining of “Mary Jane’s Last Dance.”
OG Song, OG Rapper, OG Kush
What do you get when Snoop Dogg borrows a classic from rock legend Tom Petty? A hazy, hip-hop daydream wrapped in rolling paper and smoke.
On April 20 (yup, that 4/20), Snoop dropped a reimagined, weed-themed cover of “Mary Jane’s Last Dance”—and fans across the globe lit up. Literally and metaphorically. In just nine days, the video racked up over 11 million views and debuted at #20 on YouTube. How fitting is that?
Petty-Approved, Jelly-Enhanced
This isn’t a remix. It’s a revival.
Snoop Dogg cleared Tom Petty’s image for the music video and tapped country-rap star Jelly Roll for additional vocals. The result? A powerful team-up that feels like a dream, and a blunt rotation for partakers and listeners, guaranteed to deliver. It’s the perfect duo, considering Martha Stewart isn’t exactly known for singing.
Even more iconic? The Vevo video was directed by Dave Meyers, the Grammy-winning wizard behind many of Kendrick Lamar’s most jaw-dropping visuals. Meyers turns the song into a surreal, comically illustrated trip. Imagine smoke, neon skies, flying bongs, dancing joints, and cameos from weed-loving legends.
Visual Highs
The official Vevo video on YouTube is pure eye candy—especially if you’re in the intended mood. It blends dreamy storytelling with cinematic grit. Snoop floats through dusty desert scenes, glowing city nights, and cloud-filled courtrooms. Petty’s spirit lingers in psychedelic flashes, while Jelly Roll brings raw energy to every frame. The video’s a wild ride, but it definitely earns replays.
What A Hit
Somehow, this feels like what Petty would’ve wanted. According to Yahoo, Petty once told Dr. Dre that a sample of this song would go big-time. Looks like he was right.
So take a joke, maybe even a smoke, and press play. It’s Mary Jane like you’ve never heard—or seen—before.
