The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: SKAugust


The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, "Dr. D" from More Noise and Other Disturbances (The Last Angry Rude Boy)

Skammentary: Even legends such as The Mighty Mighty Bosstones have to start somewhere. "Dr. D" recalls their early years rehearsing, honing their craft in the home of the parents of original drummer Josh Dalsimer.
"Waaaah! What are these noises?

"We're sending this one out to a beautiful, beautiful human being.

"Noise, noise, noise from down below,
And it's coming from the basement,
It's underneath the house now,
And it's rocking the foundation.
It's a noise we love to make,
And for years we have been making;
While Doctor D watches T.V.
His house is fucking shaking.

"He lets us practice in his place (In his place!),
He's got a wife with a pretty face (Pretty face!),
Takes vacation, owns property (Dr. D!),
Dr. Dalsimer, Dr. D.!

"In the daytime what's he doing?
Upstairs in the attic
He's saving lives from ruin
And sorting through the static,
He puts back together
Brains, I guess they're broken,
Bip, bip, bip, bip, bip, bip, bip, bip,
Man, I'm not fucking joking!

"He lets us practice in his place (In his place!),
He's got a wife with a pretty face (Pretty face!),
Takes vacation, owns property (Dr. D!),
Dr. Dalsimer, Dr. D.!

"Waaaah! What are these noises?
Waaaah! What are these noises?

"Nice!
Nice!

"Nice, nice, nice neighborhood,
A nice place to raise the kids,
They're tough things to obtain
But Dr. D., he did.
Worked hard to take it easy,
Worked hard and wasn't lazy,
Guitars, drums, tones, saxophones;
He must be fucking crazy!

"He lets us practice in his place (In his place!),
He's got a wife with a pretty face (Pretty face!),
Takes vacation, owns property (Dr. D!),
Dr. Dalsimer, Dr. D.!

"Waaaah! What are these noises?
Waaaah! What are these noises?"
