Dr. Detroit Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Dubious Merit 

Cover art for Dr. Detroit lyrics by Devo

This was the theme song for the Dan Ackroyd vehicle "Dr. Detroit." Dan played a professor who through some wacky misunderstandings ends up impersonating a pimp ("Dr. Detroit," a Dr. Strangelove-type guy with a metal glove) to protect some prostitutes from another, meaner crime boss/pimp. It's an okay movie to watch if you have a bad cold or your wisdom teeth out and you just want to veg.

The song is a pretty basic theme song; some light innuendo, mention the name of the movie a lot. I think the line in the bridge is actually "what he does for fun he does for free."
