Thompson Twins 'Doctor! Doctor!'

Chart Peak: 3

YouTube

Proving yet again that there's no record ever made that hasn't got some YouTube comments saying that it was much better than modern music. Also another case of out-of-sequence Now tracks; this was a hit before 'You Take Me Up', which appears on Now 3. Even though that one got a place higher on the chart, this is the one on the CD as well.

As for the song itself, it seems to follow the usual format of big Twins hits in delivering less-than-deep lyrical content in a heavily portentious manner. Perhaps this is meant to be a joke of some sort, or maybe it was a deliberate attempt to commercialise themselves. Maybe they even thought this was good, but I can't summon up a lot of a enthusiasm for it now.

Also appearing on: Now 2, 3
