Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show (shortened to Dr. Hook in 1975) was an American rock band, formed in Union City, New Jersey. They enjoyed considerable commercial success in the 1970s with hit singles including "Sylvia's Mother", "The Cover of 'Rolling Stone'" (both 1972), "Only Sixteen" (1975), "A Little Bit More" (1976), "Sharing the Night Together" (1978), "When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman" (1979), "Better Love Next Time" (1979), and "Sexy Eyes" (1980). In addition to their own material, Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show performed songs written by the poet Shel Silverstein.

The band had eight years of regular chart hits in the United States, where their music was played on top-40, easy listening, and country music outlets, and throughout the English-speaking world including the UK, Canada and South Africa. Their music spanned several genres, mostly novelty songs and acoustic ballads in their early years, though their greatest success came with their later material, mostly consisting of disco-influenced soft rock, which the band recorded under the shortened name Dr. Hook.

Lyrics:
I'm not a bad person,
I don't drink, and I don't kill.
I got no evil habits, and I probably never will.
I don't sing like Elvis Presley,
I can't dance like Fred Astaire.
But there's one thing in my favor,
I'm a millionaire!
And I got more money,
Than a horse has hairs.
Cause my rich old uncle died,
And answered all my prayers!
Having all this money,
Is going to bring me down.
If you ain't with me honey,
To help me spread it around!
I could get myself a nose job,
I could diet for a year.
But I'll never be Robert Redford,
Cause I'm much to fond of beer.
Please don't misunderstand me,
It's not love I'm trying to buy.
It's just I got all this here money,
And I'm a pretty ugly guy.
And I got more money,
Than a horse has hairs.
Cause my rich old uncle died,
And answered all my prayers!
I don't mind if you love me for my money,
If you love me for whatever else I got.
But 'cept for all this stuff, I'm a lonely Fort Knox,
I don't guess I'm doing all that hot.
And I got more money,
Than a horse has hairs.
Cause my rich old uncle died,
And answered all my prayers!
Money, money, money,

Because of their antics and enjoying themselves so much it is often overlooked that every last member of the Dr. throughout the years were incredibly talented musicians.

One of the greatest and under rated bands ever. They never got the recognition that such great musicians/performers deserved. RIP Ray Sawyer, Billy Francis, Jance Garfat, John Wolters, Rod Smarr. All of y'all will live on through the music of Dr Hook.

[wesleyblisard]

These beautiful, goofy disco cowboys were, thanks to my awesome mother, a big part of my childhood. This song never fails to bring this happy, fuzzy feeling in my heart. Still one of my favorite songs.

[phily]

These songs remind me of a Sunday afternoon when my mum would do a big clean of the whole house listening to these belters. Funny how some of your favourite memories are the simplest

[karlshortt]

My wife's favourite song.rip babe

First time I heard Dr Hook I was about 8/9yo 1992/93 in my Dads Ford Capri 280, I hijacked the cassette tape. Still love them to this day, just make more sense 😂

[ravensmythe]

I LOVE how baked they are in nearly all their performances!

[xxxx-dltq]

Teenager here, holy damn I wish I could’ve been alive to see all this go down. Seems to me like a wonderful time to have been living in. One day I hope I can recreate a little of this beauty myself 🧡
