Rob Nassif, drums: I still remember the day we wrote this song. Brad Campbell waltzes in to rehearsals singing a zesty little melody... "Doctor, doctor help meeee" . We all joined in and started jamming along. Twenty-five minutes later, we all walk out of the jam room laughing and high-fiving about how much we love the tune and how quick we wrote it. To this day, still the quickest song we have ever written.
This song really signifies a big moment in the world of Gyroscope. It was the first song we ever wrote that got a really big reaction from the crowd even before it was released.
We felt there was something special about it as we went into the studio to record it. It went on to be the first song we got some serious triple j love for, and is for a lot of people one of the first Gyro songs they heard.
Tom DeLonge from Blink-182 played a cover of it during soundcheck when we toured with them in 2004... Yelling from the stage: "Hey Dan, how do I play that fucking riff at the start?" Funny stuff.
For me personally, I still absolutely love playing this song and it’s the oldest song that remains in our set. I'm often really spent at the end of this tune as it’s an easy one for me to play and sing along to. Most of all it’s a whole lot of fun.
