Doctor, doctor, please Oh, the mess I'm in Doctor doctor, please oh, the mess I'm in She walked up to me and really stole my heart And then she started to take my body apart
Skeeter is looking for a doctor who'll help put her out of her misery...

It gets worse. (In a good way.)
And what was their doctor's phone number? 5705, obviously.
David Byrne: definitely someone in need of a check-up... from the neck up.

Another one I owe to Bruce Willis, I'm afraid, who did a memorable performance of this track in one of my favourite episodes of Moonlighting. Another Bruce also had a crack at it. The original was never a hit in the UK, but it was a Number One on the other side of the Atlantic. Always loved it...
