Title: Docter Robert
Post by: TurnMeOnDeadman on December 05, 2004, 10:15:42 PM
I love that song, but does anybody notice that George changes view, i mean, first he says "Your a new and better man", then "He helps you to understand" " He does everything he can"

I don't think he is really changing viewpoints in that song. It's really a joke song, because you probably know that the real Doctor Robert was a speed doctor who got people hopped up.

No big deal TMOD. I understood what you were getting at, but I didnt know if you just got confused or didnt know off the top of your head. I wasnt trying to putcha down in any way.

The problem with this band is that theres so much to learn that you end up forgetting half of it while your still learning. At least I do.

lol.
Not wrong there Tkitna. Dr. Robert is a top tune. Love the cheeky 'Bob Roberts' that they slip in aswell.
2 weeks countdown till I get the honour of performing it. Love singing them harmonies!
