SLS is being hosted by Jim Adams, over at newepicauthor as Helen is taking a much needed break.
Helen has done a magnificent job, over the past few weeks, keeping this great challenge active and growing, even though she was feeling far from 100%. Thank you Helen. We hope you soon recover your full strength.
Jim has set us the theme of doctor / health / medicine and all entries can be found here.
I’ve gone with a link to the name of the group, rather than the song title. Perhaps a group that you’ve never heard of. You may recognise the lead guitarist though, especially if you are a fan of Game of Thrones. He played a mute executioner!
The group is Dr. Feelgood, the guitarist is Wilko Johnson, and, for your delight, I offer:
Dr. Feelgood – Roxette Lyrics
(Wilko Johnson)
I saw you out the other night
I saw somebody hold you tight
Roxette, I wonder who it could be
It was so dark I couldn’t see
But I know it wasn’t me
When I tell you it ain’t right
I know you’ve got to agree
I followed you into a show
The band was playing rock’n’roll
Roxette, I didn’t need to seek you out
The music played so loud
That I could hear you through the crowd
You was telling everyone
About a new guy you’d found
Roxette I gotta go away
And leave you for a couple of days
Roxette, I don’t want no more of your tricks
I’m gonna get some concrete mix
And fill your back door up with bricks
And you better be there waiting
When I get my business fixed
Wilko Johnson’s technique is a choppy guitar playing style which he demonstrates here:
….and here he is talking about other group members
I think he’s great. I hope that you did too!
Nice song Peter, love that harmonica and the rest of the musicians.

I’d never heard this song before Peter but it’s really cool! The Gotye song I do know and I’d always loved the guitar in that and now, thanks to you, I know who’s behind it :O) x

Love the song, but gosh they certainly come across as manic! I wonder what they were taking?
