Michael John "Cub" Koda (né Uszniewicz; October 1, 1948 – July 1, 2000)[1][2] was an American rock and roll musician, songwriter, and critic. Rolling Stone magazine considered him best known for writing the song "Smokin' in the Boys Room", recorded by his band Brownsville Station, which reached number 3 on the 1974 Billboard chart.[3]
