Instead of having favorite dr Hook song, like all those now pestering the polls, taking up 5 polls with literally a bazillion options. I'll simply ask this.


Dr. Hook(Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show)

Yey or ney?

Old Wolfman27 Sep 2017 7:20 a.m. PST

OK.

No no no no no no no no !

I do not like Dr Hook

I Do not like them

Sam I am.

Gunfreak Supporting Member of TMP27 Sep 2017 7:38 a.m. PST

Not a single Ney so far,

I take that as two Yays.

23rdFusilier27 Sep 2017 7:42 a.m. PST

Yea!

Winston Smith27 Sep 2017 7:46 a.m. PST

Brilliant.
I think "Sylvia's Mother" is a GREAT satire. It took in a lot of people who thought it was serious. I saw a grown man crying in his beer over it. I didn't have the heart to tell him it was a joke.

Winston Smith27 Sep 2017 8:12 a.m. PST

My mistake! "Sylvia's Mother" was serious!
At least, according to Shel Silverstein who wrote it.

Oh well. I still think it's one of the funniest songs I've ever heard.

Bill has been ignoring the Poll Suggestion threads lately. He will instead list the entire catalog of the performers. He did that with the Elements Poll too.

I much prefer the outrage over leaving Gettysburg out of a "Favorite ACW battle" Poll when nobody bothered to nominate it.

Cyrus the Great27 Sep 2017 8:30 a.m. PST

Yes. "Cover of the Rolling Stone" was self-deprecatingly brilliant.

Hafen von Schlockenberg27 Sep 2017 9:00 a.m. PST

One Ney from me:

Great band in concert as well, saw them 3 times back in the day. When Ray started changing out his glass eye it blew the crowd away.

Agree with both "Sylvia's Mother" and "Cover of the Rolling Stone", would add "Life Ain't Easy" and "A Little Bit More".

Shel Silverstein was their muse and main songwriter and was brilliant.

Martin27 Sep 2017 9:12 a.m. PST

Yes since I was young.

ZULUPAUL Supporting Member of TMP27 Sep 2017 9:31 a.m. PST

Nay

And Don't forget Only Sixteen and I'm a Millionaire!

Ragbones27 Sep 2017 10:17 a.m. PST

Nay

Meh.

I'm more Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem.

Dagwood27 Sep 2017 11:42 a.m. PST

Dr Hook are still around in various guises. I have tried (and failed) to book tickets to Dennis Locorrier in November, who sings his old Dr Hook songs. I recently saw Ray Sawyer in concert as well, must have been in his seventies but still a character !

Yay !

Personal logo 20thmaine Supporting Member of TMP27 Sep 2017 11:49 a.m. PST

If no no no no no is not enough then I'll register a Ney

Phillius Sponsoring Member of TMP27 Sep 2017 12:07 p.m. PST

Yay from me.

Not one of the greatest but definitely entertaining.

"Freakin' at the freakers ball"

JMcCarroll27 Sep 2017 2:51 p.m. PST

Nay

KSmyth27 Sep 2017 4:23 p.m. PST

Bleah.

Lots of mediocre acts from the 70's, and Dr. Hook is as mediocre as any of them.

There is no good music or bad music, only the music you like and don't like. (My personal mantra)

Cyrus the Great27 Sep 2017 4:30 p.m. PST

I like the T-shirt that declares, "Your Favorite Band Sucks".

Personal logo KimRYoung Supporting Member of TMP28 Sep 2017 12:21 p.m. PST

Favorite Dr. Hook?

How about Tim "Dr. Hook" McCracken
