I know catch a fire is the name of a bob marley album, but does the phrase have some other meaning?

Question

Where does the phrase come from and what does it mean?

Answer 1

Catch a fire was Bob Marley and the Wailer's debut album for Island Records. While it may seem that way, catching a fire does not mean smoking pot. The fire refers to the fires of hell, and the Marley song tells slavedrivers to catch a fire, or go to hell.

"Slavedriver, your table has turned, catch a fire, you're gonna get burned"

Answer 2

The cover of the album shows Marley lighting a huge spliff, so the meaning is obvious. The original album opened like a Zippo lighter, with a hinge on the side, but was discontinued because of difficulty in production.

Answer 3

i assume you're referring to that movie. they play bob Marley during the movie so its probably just referencing that.
by the way, that was the most boringly predictable movie I've seen in a long time
what did the cover say? action pack, keeps you guessing till the last second.
