[marshmello3455]

Story of my life right here.

[EIS1569]

I LOVE DR> HOOK ! ! !

[kagemusha101]

Love DRH! Started listening to them when I was 7! Forgot how good they were! Long live the Hook! Hopefully people will always remember their great music!

[440trigger]

@kagemusha101 Unforgettable....Dont worry. People WILL remember.

[1339LARS]

Thank you for the pics of an aged Ray... beautiful!!

[Friederike14K]

That was my favourite song for years! Still love it!

[TheChasClark]

Yes I've sung this one many times. Fell it's part of me.

[macdunald1]

"Elton Johns got two fat ladies" ...I bet he has... I bet he has

[GrigoriZhukov]

@macdunald1 naw, he's monogamous and married these days. He and his husband make a cute couple. (yes I typed that with a straight face) 

[st0reugle]

@macdunald1 well - doctor John's got three hehe

[Fruth37]

I like the end when the dude with the funny singing voice sings over and over "Everybody's makin' it, makin' it, makin' it, BIGGGGGGGGGG." He's the same singer on I Got Stoned and I Missed It. What a character!

[gttdkt]

@Fruth37 That would be Billy Francis. May he Rest in Peace. Passed in 2010.

[astrophonix]

Bankrupt was simply one of the most side-splittingly hilarious albums ever made, gotta find that one again!

[Aussie038]

Elton Johns got 2 fine ladies LOL

...and all I got is my right hand. Ha,ha,ha,ha

Love Dr Hook!!!

[leslucas]

I just fucking love this.

[mrhyvonen]

Hurriganes make this better

[chdan07]

Best part- Elton John was still "heterosexual" at the time. Adds a bit of a double laugh now. :)

[wilberforcehumphries]

it was written a long time ago before elton came out as gay.

[kallemick]

how old is this song?

[dementia412]

Late 70s?

[FreakersBall]

Shel Silverstein wrote this song.

Dr. Hook recored it and released it on their " Bankrupt" album in 1975.

A good ear can hear its not Ray sawyer or Dennis Locorriere who is on lead vocal, it is in fact Rik Elswit ,(Takin the mic at 1.50) Dr.Hooks Guitarist.

[Trashfished]

@FreakersBall R.I.P.Shell!

[lookinatpixels]

@FreakersBall i know and i saw him on video but can't seem to find it here anymore, it's the best!!! Love Dr. Hook 4 ever!!! Do you know where i can see him singing this song?

[OhWowItsChristie]

This song was my childhood <3 I've only just remembered it!

[mrhyvonen]

Hurriganes make this song much much much better!!!

[terrys06chargert]

I saw then in Concert at the Seaside Covention Center on the Oregon coast in 1980. The were a blast to watch!

[magmadragon92]

Me and My famaly yous to sing this song, when we drive long jurnys

[deanlad27]

That sounds like a great laugh!!

hahaha

muppet

[Jereamry]

They were a performing band, and played over 300 gigs a year. Miss them.

[marygogogirl]

Everybody's makin it big but ME!!!

Oh such a GREAT song!! Woo hoooo!! Oh me- I am so flippin happy RIGHT NOW!!

LOL!

[wabbitff]

but that just hurt my dad and mom

and all i've got is my right hand

LMFAO!!!!!!!!

[lynka33]

I had their albums and put it on my turn-table late a night...Thanks to Shel Silverstein for writing most of their songs. (you know the guy who wrote "the Giving Tree" and "Where the Sidewalk Ends"!)

[CodyRicheson]

You know what else is a great Dr. Hook song, is I got stoned and I missed it...speaking of which...

[CodyRicheson]

Why the hell is Dr. Hook not mentioned these days? I just recently discovered this great music and it's weird how everyone talks about AC/DC, Zeppelin, The Beatles, Neil Young, etc., but no one talks about Dr. Hook.

[joycieee333]

Agree, entirely......................­

[SixstringMatt]

Cause EVERYBODY'S MAKIN IT BIG BUT THEM!!!! Did you not listen to the song at all???? rotfl okokok, I'm done.

[1975bean]

Dr. Hook were far more concerned with partying than makin it big. These guys are true musicians and played music for the sole purpose of playing music and having a good time. I miss them very much. I grew up listening to this stuff and have always loved it.

[DLR696]

aahh man who care's as long as we are still enjoying there music,i love nothing better than a big old fire, big old bottle of bundy and some "hook" up real loud..LOL YEAH!!!

[thomasts76]

[WEEZER08274MH]

Anyone know the guitar chords for this song??

I'm a fairly new guitar player and want to learn this. At the very least the rhythm part, to do it acoustically. Any help would be appreciated.

[moldoeen]

[DingusStudley]

Hahaha Elton Johns got 2 fine ladies.

This song came out before he did right, or is that an intentional joke. Either way it's awesome.

[Steacy783]

He may have,,,but he never HAD them,,if ya'know what I mean;)!!??

[karatefella]

They used to play Scrabble every Friday night !

[lookinatpixels]

@DingusStudleythe song came out way before Elton knew he was even going to come out, hahaha

[DingusStudley]

Wish I had an mp3 of this song, if anybody does and could send it my way, that'd rule incredibly hard.

[babygiraffe123]

I listen to this song in the car, every morning on my way to work. I love it.

[babygiraffe123]

My 3 year old daughter loves this song!

[DingusStudley]

Mindblowing.

[babygiraffe123]

I love this group almost as much as I love The Beatles, which is my #1 favorite band.

[babygiraffe123]

Fucking awesome!!! I love the pics.

[babygiraffe123]

Especially the pic at :28.

[havfruen72]

Hey girl.

...is it just coincidence, or do you have a soft spot for Ray??

Thanks for all the videos, anyway.

I'm going to see Dennis in October, and I'm looking forward to it already!

(He lives not that far away from me, but that's not the same as seeing him in concert.)

[warty01]

Where has all the years gone.

Nikki

[00Bergen00]

[JawsJaws]

Can you put on "You Make My Pants want To get Up And Dance" on Youtube?

[inneedoftherapie]

[JawsJaws]

Dr Hook is underrated.

[inneedoftherapie]

So true. I love Dr. Hook always have. I am always adding new stuff by them well not new but you know what I mean. Have a good one.
