Friday Funtime: Pop Argot Goes to the Doctor

I'm heading out of town Saturday for a long weekend to celebrate with a dear friend his successful defense of his Ph.D. dissertation. In honor of a good friend and good man who is doing good work, I present 10 "Doctor" songs:

1. The Beatles, "Doctor Robert"
2. Thompson Twins, "Doctor Doctor"
3. Men at Work, "Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive"
4. Doobie Brothers, "The Doctor"
5. Steely Dan, "Doctor Wu"
6. Carol Douglas, "Doctor's Orders"
7. Peter Tosh, "Bush Doctor"
8. Aretha Franklin, "Dr. Feelgood"
9. Kool Keith as Dr. Octagon, "Dr. Octagon"
10. KISS, "Calling Dr. Love"

Thank you for using Aretha Franklin, and not Motley Crue. :)
