***
Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show (shortened to Dr. Hook in 1975) was an American rock band, formed in Union City, New Jersey. They enjoyed considerable commercial success in the 1970s with hit singles including "Sylvia's Mother", "The Cover of 'Rolling Stone'" (both 1972), "Only Sixteen" (1975), "A Little Bit More" (1976), "Sharing the Night Together" (1978), "When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman" (1979), "Better Love Next Time" (1979), and "Sexy Eyes" (1980). In addition to their own material, Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show performed songs written by the poet Shel Silverstein.
The band had eight years of regular chart hits in the United States, where their music was played on top-40, easy listening, and country music outlets, and throughout the English-speaking world including the UK, Canada and South Africa. Their music spanned several genres, mostly novelty songs and acoustic ballads in their early years, though their greatest success came with their later material, mostly consisting of disco-influenced soft rock, which the band recorded under the shortened name Dr. Hook.

Lyrics: You make my pants want to get up and dance You make my face want to grin You make my knees want to kneel down say please Honey won't you kiss me again You make my pants want to get up and dance You make my face want to grin You make my knees want to kneel down say please Honey won't you kiss me again I was a lost and lonely man Now I get through life the best I can 'Til the day I laid my eye on you That day I decided what I had to do You make my pants want to get up and dance You make my face want to grin You make my knees want to kneel down say please Honey won't you kiss me again Start the music strike up the band I never done the boogie but I believe I can Never met a girl half as sweet as you Nobody's ever moved half the moves you do You make my pants want to get up and dance You make my face want to grin You make my knees want to kneel down say please Honey won't you kiss me again You make my pants want to get up and dance You make my face want to grin You make my knees want to kneel down say please Honey won't you kiss me again

Great musicians, underestimated band of all time, is it cuz they have fun with songs that are meant to be. we all don’t get caught up with the politics & commercial world of music. So many talent shows now but no band will ever compete with Dr Hook as these are the originals with humour & Authenticity to the core. Thanks to Ronja`s & U Tube we get to watch the untouchables 🤘❤️❤️

🥀These Guy's may seem crazy but that's far from the truth oh yeah they were way beyond there time🥀✌🥀☝️

[@jonathanhoward2924]

There's a video here on KZbin of Ray being interviewed where he talks about doing a show with Alice Cooper. Before Alice, Vincent Furnier, said "Ray, you're the weirdest dude I know". Ray laughed about it and said "Have you looked at yourself lately"? I'd say that's pretty crazy.

Promoted them at the Terrace Ballroom, Salt Lake City in 1981, when I was producing concerts. The night before promoted them in Rock Springs, WY. They were consummate showmen and really had fun on stage. Ray Sawyer pulled the guitar cord from one of the guitarists as he started his solo. I think it was part of their "act." They were alot of fun. I remember making money in WY. to a full auditoriu. (Western Wyoming Community College)...the next night we lost all of it.
