How did they go from this to the most generic sounding, cheesy love songs of the 70s? Bizarre. Did they just stop doing drugs or did Shel stop writing em tunes or what? What a shame. Funnest, most hilarious band ever. Damn they had fun
I WENT TO MY DEALER TO GET ME A LID, OL RED GOT BUSTED AND I HAD TO GET IT FROM SID(2:33)! HOW OF YALL REMEMBER WHEN AN OZ. WAS CALLED A "LID"? THUMBS UP IF YOU DO! AND IM ALMOST 50 YRS. OLD!
Is it just me or does Ray sound a little like a mellowed out Jim Dandy from Black Oak Arkansas when he sings this. Up to the yodel anyways. Three thumbs up!
I have a cousin who dances EXACTLY like Billy Francis. He does it at all of our family events, ALWAYS on impulse. He'll just break out dancing. I remember he did the dance at my wedding reception in 2005, and he had the whole place roaring with laughter. Including me. I may have been super-drunk that night, but I DO recall falling to the floor, laughing until I cried.....lmao
We used to listen to Dr. Hook "Bankrupt" rolling around the Eastern US in our hippie school bus. Remember "I got Stoned & I MIssed it" love it! Long live this band & their music. What spirit!
@kf4wto yes we did ,kids today say they have the killer,the bomb,well children i just got to say uh ,shit ,ha ha ,uh um uh umm,man forgot what i was saying.You should have been there,All we are sayinggggggg is give peice a chance,Don'ttttttttt bogart that joint my friend,pass it over to me'eee you been holdin' on to it and i sure would like a hit,you can have anything you want at alice's resturant,Ahh,the memories we made.
I agree - though I was mostly unfamiliar with them until a year or so ago, they are fun to watch, and very talented. I have a DVD that was recorded in the early seventies in a TV studio, and I got my money's worth after song 1. Don't let the hair and schtick throw you off.
@athole1954 In the early '70's I played in a band that had really good equipment. Consequently, we were frequently hired to "open" for bands/acts that travelled with minimal equipment; we did the first hour and the headliner act would do the second hour using our stuff. One of those was the Medicine Show. In my experience, they collectively downed a quart of Cuervo before the show. Much to my teenaged amazement, it in no way negatively affected their performance. They were real pros.
What a great bunch of fuckin weird guys! Their live performances alwaysve been awsome, especially in the 70s when the called themselves dr. hook&the medecine show (heheh..).Ray, dennis & Co, always high as fuck..took a lot of medecine.. what a waste that those weirdos turend completly different later..
weed was much better in the 70s
