I find Dr. Hook an odd mix
They seem to produce 90%+ execrable love longs that make me want to retch with occasional streaks of humour, that really doesn't seem to fit with the rest.

For example the songs I can bear to have on my MP3 player include:
Everybody's Makin' It Big But Me
Gimme That Thing
I Got Stoned And I Missed It

I like these songs a lot but they seriously had me searching t'internet to see if there were 2 bands called Dr. Hook. I mean you tell me how the same people responsible for When You're in Love With a Beautiful woman, also wrote:

I was sitting in my basement I just rolled myself a taste
Of something green and gold and glorious to get me through the day
Then my friend yelled through the transom "Grab your coat and get your hat son
There's a nut down on the corner, givin' dollar bills away"

But I laid around a bit
Then I had another hit
Then I rolled myself a bauma
Then I thought about my mama
Then I fooled around, played around
Jacked around a while and then

I got stoned and I missed it
I got stoned and I missed it
I got stoned and it rolled right by
I got stoned and I missed it
I got stoned and I missed it
I got stoned oh me oh my

Now it took seven months of urging just to get that local virgin
With the sweet face up to my place to fool around a bit
Next day she woke up rosy and she snuggled up so cosy
When she asked me how I liked it Lord it hurt me to admit

I was stoned and I missed it
I was stoned and I missed it
I was stoned and it rolled right by
I was stoned and I missed it
I was stoned and I missed it
I was stoned oh me oh my

Now I ain't makin' no excuses for the many things I uses
Just to sweeten my relationships and brighten up my day
But when my earthly race is over and I'm ready for the clover
And they ask me how my life has been I guess I'll have to say

I was stoned and I missed it
I was stoned and I missed it
I was stoned and it rolled right by
I was stoned and I missed it
I was stoned and I missed it
I was stoned oh me oh my

Ah, that was on a cassette I had
But not on my vinyl album of the greatest hits, which is all I have left to me nooooow.
Ooh Spotify!
