DOCTOR! Put the Lime in the Coconut!! Dean theme Song!!!
Edited on Fri Oct-31-03 11:41 PM by seventhson
Dean has the Prescription for what is ailing us.

I would much rather have a Doctor running things than a career politician, a lawyer, a careerist soldier - a lifer, or a crooked oilman or corporate whore.

So I hereby now and forever propose that the Harry Nillson song "Put the Lime in the Coconut" is actually a PERFECT theme song for Dean's campaign.



FIRST, everybody over 35 knows it and should love it.

Second, the Baja men ("Who let the Dogs Out?") do a version of it so all of our kids can be plugged into it.

THIRD, the key refrain in the song is the desperate plea, wailed at a hyperpitched james Brownian shriek:

"DOCTOR!!! Is there nothing I can take?

"I said DOCTOR!!!? To Relieve this Bellyache???"

And the DOCTOR (in this case the proverbial Doctor Dean) says :

"Put the Lime in the Coconut and mix them both together. Put the Lime in the Coconut...THEN you'll feel better!"

DEAN MUST HAVE a PRESCRIPTION for what ails us.

It must be as creative and funky and pleasurable sounding and off the wall as putting the "Lime in the Coconut".

Sour with the sweet. Hot with the cool. Creamy with the tart.

a NEW message. A NEW plan.

One that whets our appetites and SOUNDS like fun and SOUNDS healthy:

Key Lime and Coconut Cream Pie.


DOCTOR? IS THERE NOTHING WE CAN TAKE? I Said "DOCTOR???"

Try it. It works.

THE DOCTOR IS IN THE HOUSE AND HE HAS OUR PRESCRIPTIONS TO FILL!!!

(Anybody got a link where I can listen to this?)

2. The Baja men do it - so my kids got me to hear it and it is a GREAT
hook.

Dean should use it for his meetup parties.

DOCTOR!!!

It wouyld make a great theme song for Dean.

Maybe not the MAIN theme song. BUT something to get peoples' imaginations and creativity flowing again.

This generation is blocked


I need to get my hands on a version by Nillson and the Baja men can play too.
