Here I sit, at a desk in a small office with people spying on my every move to ensure I'm not trying to "undermine" them, listening to same radio station as I do every day because the woman in our office is "distracted" if we play anything else, and what comes over the airwaves? Dr. Worm by They Might Be Giants! One of the most absurd, nonsensical, delightful pieces of brilliance ever to be sung by those wonderful dorks!
As soon as I heard the giddy fanfare that begins the song I couldn't help but break into a huge smile – because I love the song, but also because I could only imagine what was going through the heads of the others in the office. I won't even try to speculate. I'll just enjoy it. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Dr. Worm
They Might Be Giants
They call me Dr. Worm.
Good morning, how are you? I'm Dr. Worm.
I'm interested in things.
I'm not a real doctor,
But I am a real worm;
I am an actual worm.
I live like a worm.
I like to play the drums.
I think I'm getting good,
but I can handle criticism.
I'll show you what I know,
and you can tell me if you think I'm getting better on the drums.
I'll leave the front un-locked cause I can't
hear the doorbell.
When I get into it I can't tell if you are
watching me twirling the stick.
When I give the signal, my friend
Rabbi Vole will play the solo.
**Awesome Bass Solo!**
Some day somebody else besides me will
call me by my stage name, they will
call me Dr. Worm.
Good morning, how are you? I'm Dr. Worm.
I'm interested in things.
I'm not a real doctor,
but I am a real worm;
I am an actual worm.
I live like a worm.
I like to play the drums.
I think I'm getting good,
but I can handle criticism.
I'll show you what I know,
and you can tell me if you think I'm getting better on the drums.
I'm not a real doctor,
but they call me Dr. Worm.
Sigh. I definitely need more people around me who enjoy such silliness in life.
