The second and possibly least-remembered of their three Number One singles, 'Doctor Jones' (as they spell it) lacks the full-on novelty of 'Barbie Girl' but remains decidedly silly, wisely repeating the usual formula of playing Lene Nystrøm's little-girl voice against René Dif's gruff not-quite-rapping. In fact I'd argue that this has aged better than their previous hit, if only because it's been heard less often. Mind you. I have heard other tracks from the album which try the same trick to much lesser effect, eg 'Lollipop (Candyman)',
Perhaps the best thing of all about this song is that it's not 'Mr Jones' by Counting Crows.
