Dr Hook and the Medicine Show - The cover of the rollin' stone (1973)

Well we're big rock singers
We got golden fingers
And we're loved everywhere we go
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth
At ten thousand dollars a show
We take all kinda pills
That give us all kinda thrills
But the thrill we've never known
Is the thrill that'll getcha
When you get your picture
On the cover of the Rollin' Stone

Wanna see my picture on the cover
Wanna buy five copies for my mother
Wanna see my smilin' face
On the cover the cover of the Rollin' Stone

I got a freaky old lady
Name a Cocaine Katie
Who embroideries on my jeans
I got my poor ol' grey haired Daddy
Drivin' my limousine
Now it's all designed
To blow our minds
But our minds won't really be blown
Like the blow that'll getcha
When you get your picture
On the cover of the Rollin' Stone

Wanna see my pictures on the cover
Wanna buy five copies for my mother
Wanna see my smiling face
On the cover the cover of the Rollin' Stone

We gotta lotta little teenage blue-eyed groupies
Who'll do anything we say
We got a genuine Indian guru
Who's teachin' us a better way
We got all the friends that money can buy
So we never have to be alone
And we keep gettin' richer, but we can't get our picture
On the cover of the Rollin' Stone

Wanna see my picture on the cover
Wanna buy five copies for my mother
Wanna see my smilin' face
On the cover of the Rollin' Stone
On the cover of the Rollin' Stone
Gonna see my picture on the cover
Gonna buy five copies for my mother
Gonna see my smiling face
On the cover of the Rollin' Stone

Great cover from the Roling Stones !!

@MyCarla27

het gaat over de voorpagina van de Rolling Stone een toonaangevend muziekblad

[THEMOJOMANsince1959]

This is SO GREAT I'm surprised there aren't hundreds of comments. This is such a classic. AND WHERE DID YOU GET SUCH A "CLEAR" VIDEO ?

[bananaxtree]

I always thought Dr. Hook was rather obscure and just some weird band my parents listened to on road trips and when their strange smelling friends came over. When I heard them singing this tune in "Almost Famous" I was quite surprised.

What a bunch of stoners

[husalife]

I went to college with the guy that set up for these guys. Man did he have stories for days

@PunkymickBlah

actually he puts the bandana over the mic to distort his voice for the part that he sings not because he had an issue with the rest of the band or anything like that. it puts a barrier there for soundwaves to distort and get deep like that

@MyCarla27 Uh...what?

@HOUNDDAWG It didn't show dedication to music lol they were all BAKED!

[PunkymickBlah]

And they are so, so wasted. They’re probably on coke. The electric guitarist very obviously has something against the rest of the band and there’s some kind of rivalry happening. Every time the electric guitarist goes to sing he puts a red bandanna over the microphone; he doesn’t want to sing into the same microphone that the other singer is singing into.

[PunkymickBlah]

they are wasted

[HOUNDDAWG]

Fun video but they looked so grody. I played a show with CROW (EVIL WOMAN DON'T PLAY YOUR GAMES WITH ME) in 1970 and the singer was wearing the same unwashed tee shirt he wore at WOODSTOCK and it was nasty. I loved rock & roll too but I was super clean and a clothes horse. And, I never understood why anyone thought poor hygiene signaled dedication to music anymore than catching scabies would.

At the end of the video: George: I'm a spider.... playin the guitar! Mmmm....space.
