Smoke 'em if ya' got 'em
Awesome, no lip synching here
Cover of the Rolling Stone
If you only remember (if at all) Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show from this song . . .
Baby Makes Her Blue Jeans Talk
Then you need to watch these videos below.
My parents had Dr. Hook records when I was a kid but the Blue Jeans song/video is really where I remember hearing/seeing them for the first time, then on the radio I can remember hearing and loving "Cover of the Rolling Stone". I also have heard over the years some of their "hit" songs that are at the end of this post, but the songs and live performances directly below are a revelation to me. They had access to the good smoke for sure but they are having a blast and kickin' ass live. I love the Stoner Laugh in the live performances
The Yodle Song
Sylvia's Mother
Carry Me Carrie
Freakin' At The Freakers Ball (in concert)
Freakin' At The Freakers Ball (live TV)
Pennecillin Penny
Acapulco Goldie
All About You
Roland The Roadie
Dr. Hook Interviewing Dr. Hook
Life Ain't Easy
The Millionaire
Here are some more Dr. Hook songs you may have actually heard before . . .
Only Sixteen ( Live, Stoner Laugh Alert )
and their regular videos below (is this even the same band?, lol)
Sharing the Night Together
When You're in Love With A Beautiful Woman
Sexy Eyes
I Don't want to be Alone
A Little Bit More

The year is not starting out well. In January a true genius in Mr. Momofuku Ando passed away and now we have lost another true visionary:
Mr. Robert Adler
Robert Adler, the man whom in 1997 gained an Emmy for his contribution to the invention of the television remote, has passed away. In his 93 years he claimed over 180 patents (the most recent of which was filed on February 1), but his greatest achievement was to invent the first practical wireless television remote control. Way back in the mid-50s when he was working for Zenith Electronics Corp., Adler produced a remote control that communicated with a tuner using four prongs that produced ultrasonic sounds. Unlike earlier solutions -- like Eugene Polley's "Flashmatic" remote -- Robert's remote wasn't prone to interference, didn't require a wire, and, unlike current remotes, didn't require a power source. The original name of the first effective wireless TV remote? The Zenith Space Command remote control. As a tribute to Mr. Adler, we'll be calling our zappers this name for the next few days: we hope you'll join us in yelling "where's the Zenith Space Command remote control?" the next time you lose the little bugger. Rest in peace Robert.
