Next, apologies to the late Robert Palmer and his memorable tune “Bad Case of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor).” Link to original lyrics: http://www.oracleband.net/Lyrics/bad_case_of_loving_you.htm

“Annoyed By Curing Fools (Doctor House)”

Doctor House might make a better vet

He’s the grumpiest MD we’ve seen yet

He can think of more enjoyable things to do with a bed

Than treat patients whose skin has turned yellow plus red

Doctor House isn’t amused he’s got

Better things than clinic duty to do

He thinks society’s ills could be cured by pills with a

Monkey dispensing them to you

Vicodin pills, no matter how yummy

Won’t keep him from calling his patients dummies

But critics who think his pill popping should stop

Forget that’s what frees him to diagnose cases until he drops

Doctor House lives by his own rules

He has a low pain threshold for morons and fools

Just wait until you get his bill for treating a

Mild rash or garden-variety case of the flu

He loves mysteries and as a doctor he’s tops

But don’t expect his cantankerous behaviour to stop

He sizes people up and lets his sarcastic humour rip

Delivering witticisms with a devilish grin on his lips

Just shake his hand and tell him he’s good

He behaves badly, but solves cases like Sherlock Holmes would
