Dr Hook's first Top 40 hit was "Sylvia's Mother", which is completely different. It's a sad, sweet story of unrequited love. And it shows what kind of a range these guys had. However, I have to admit, my first exposure to them was on a PBS Special, hosted by Dick Cavett, called "VD Blues", in which they sang a song titled "Don't give a dose to the one you love most". Needless to say, I fell in love with them. As you go through their catalog, I would suggest some of their early work, like "Last Morning", "The Ballad of . . .", "Things I Didn't Say", "Carry me, Carrie", "Cooky & Lila", "The Millionaire", "Levitate", "Queen of the Silver Dollar", and, of course, "Sylvia's Mother". They have a number of other good songs as well, but not all he songs on the first 4 albums (Dr Hook, Sloppy Seconds, Belly Up, and Bankrupt) are, shall we say, KZfaq Friendly. I personally think "Freaker's Ball" is absolutely hilarious, but KZfaq might not think so. I suppose "I got stoned and I missed it" might slip by, and maybe "If I'd only Come and Gone", but I doubt they'd like "Penicillin Penny", and I know "Get my Rocks Off" would definitely trigger some people. But, hey, it's all just wacky fun by a bunch of 70s stoners. 😁

This song brings back such great memories for me...our family get togethers were musical, and my Dad and my Uncles would sing this song! It was fantastic! Such a fun, loose, hip and party song! Love you two, God bless you! You make me smile!

We loved them, my daughter's favorite and kid friendly song is, you make my pants want to get up and dance. I still see my little ones dancing to it in my head
