Canned Click

Canned Heat is best known for their hit songs "Going Up the Country" and "On the Road Again."

"Canned Heat" originally referred to a type of portable cooking fuel known as Sterno, made from denatured alcohol and packaged in small, sealed cans. This fuel was commonly used for camping and chafing dishes. During the Great Depression, some people, particularly those who were homeless or transient, would drink Sterno after straining it to extract the alcohol content. This dangerous practice was sometimes referred to as drinking "canned heat."
