Dr. Hook - Get My Rocks Off Lyrics






Some men need some killer weed, some men need cocaine
Some men need some cactus juice, to purify the brain
Some men need two women, some need alcohol
Everybody needs a little something, but Lord I need it all

To get my rocks off, get my rocks off
Get my rocks off the mountain, and roll 'em on down the hill

I may do you one time, and I may do you more
I may turn you into something, that you ain't ready for
I might want your body, and I might want your bread
I might want your momma to come visit me instead

And get my rocks off, get my rocks off
Get my rocks off the mountain, and roll 'em on down the hill

Sometimes I dream of chicks, to bring me ever lasting joys
Sometimes I dream of animals, sometimes I dream of boys
Sometimes I kill the living, sometimes I raise the dead
Sometimes I say just screw it all, and crawl back into bed

And get my rocks off, get my rocks off
Get my rocks off the mountain, and roll 'em on down the hill

  24. T.... B....

    I did not know that you can play a bass solo and give a reach-around at the same time. I learn something new every day. These dudes were awesome, completely unbridled extremism. They left a stain on the bed sheets of music that just won't wash out.

    T.... B....

    you gotta understand...that bass player was likely tripping his face off...

    T.... B....

    ,oh wow!! I was in 2nd grade my mom gave me her 8 track tapes & a TG&Y 8 track player Dr. Hook was my favorite! Stoned in

  36. L.... J....

    I remember when I was a little kid and my parents used to listen to sloppy seconds in the car on 8-track! was exposed to dr. hook at a young age haven't been the same since! Good Times!!

  37. R.... C....

    Dru D Drug's r bad m'kay.

  38. H.... S....

    Even Ray Sawyer was astounded at just how high Dennis was - yet in ecstasy at how he managed to channel it into that bass. In that single moment, Dennis inspired Yngwie Malmsteen AND 'Animal' of the Muppets. It has been said that Keith Richards can't believe that Dennis survived that performance.

  39. S.... r....

    GOD I LOVE THEM DUDES!!!! SO WILD, CRAZY, AND THE "BOMB"!!!!

  40. d.... H....

    Well hell ya I need it all, an old skool code. Nuff

  49. M.... ....

    I remember being 5 years old and my parents had a house full of guests over. I burst into the living room singing this. Boy..did I ever get in trouble..lol.

    M.... ....

    TOO FUNNY!! OMG!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    M.... ....

    Wow my parents would have died right there. They were always entertaining and I always had to be on my best behavior. That's why I was usually out running the streets at 13. Lol

    M.... ....

    I played this at full volume in 1976 when I was a teen. My parents hated it!! Somehow we all survived. Dr. Hook you rock my world.

  50. C.... R....

    *✿ஜ✿ I'M STILL HOOKED ✿ஜ✿*

  51. J.... B....

    I love this video! it's one of my favorites of theirs

  52. S.... O....

  53. S.... O....

    S.... O....

    classic rockpop

    S.... O....

    VERY!!!

  54. D.... H....

    reach around!!!

  55. L.... M....

    This was sometime around 1975 or 1976! Dennis still had his long hair/beard!

  56. L.... M....

    John Wolters was beat boxing long before beat boxing existed!

  57. L.... M....

    George Cummings did not found or name the group! The group was founded by Billy, Ray and Dennis. They got their name because a bar owner wanted to put a poster of them in the window and needed a name. Because Ray had the eyepatch, they decided on Dr Hook and the Medicine Show, only later dropping "the Medicine Show" and remained Dr Hook!

    L.... M....

    Well either you are wrong or Wikipedia is Linda. Wiki says
    "The founding core of the band consisted of three Southerners who had worked together in a band called The Chocolate Papers: George Cummings, Ray Sawyer and Billy Francis. They had played the South, up and down the East Coast, and into the Midwest, before breaking up. Cummings, who moved to New Jersey with the plan of forming a new band, brought back Sawyer to
    rejoin him. They then took on future primary vocalist, New Jersey native Dennis Locorriere, at first as a bass player. Francis, who had returned South after the Chocolate Papers broke up, returned to be the new band's keyboardist.
    When told by a club owner that they needed a name to put on a poster
    in the window of his establishment, Cummings made a sign: "Dr. Hook and
    the Medicine Show: Tonic for the Soul." The "Hook" name was inspired by
    Sawyer's eyepatch and a reference to Captain Hook of the Peter Pan fairy tale, although, humorously, because Captain Hook was neither a doctor nor wore an eyepatch. Ray Sawyer had lost his right eye in a near-fatal car crash in Oregon in 1967, and thereafter always wore an eyepatch.[1] The eyepatch would mistakenly lead some people to believe that Sawyer was 'Dr. Hook'."

    L.... M....

    wikipedia is not a credible source

    L.... M....

    Its a perfectly credible source, it may not be appropriate for use in school papers or reports but it's fine for something like this.

  58. C.... P....

    This is crazy good or good crazy, whichever, I love it.

    C.... P....

    ABSOLUTELY DITTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!

    C.... P....

    Read the comments ... drugs ?  but that does not change their performance and ppl liking it. I wonder if ppl still listen to this vid. score to-day 13.4.2017 ; 79.283.  They were "good" entertainers; 7 minutes full of energy.

    C.... P....

    hell yeah they were!!!! both loved and admired by everyone.

  59. B.... J....

    Historical footnote: George Cummings, the guitarist who founded and named the band, sang this and the other bass-like vocals (such as "I Got Stoned And Missed It", "Penicillin Penny", and the 2nd verse of "Cover Of The Rolling Stone") on their records and early live performances. He parted ways with the group in a somewhat acrimonious manner after a couple of years, and Billy Francis (keyboardist, and singer here) took over most of his vocals, though Ray Sawyer (eye-patch) usually sang the lower-key 2nd verse himself in concert.

    B.... J....

    HE'S THE BOMB TOO!!!

  60. s.... s....

    You guys were Great..

  61. s.... s....

    What a show that would be to see

    @jpavlekovich

    hes super toasted for sure. creepy , funny, and awesome all in one.

  66. S.... K....

    I have never heard this one and have listened to it a few times now. Everyone one of them are so talented and when they are soooo high!! lol  Billy's dancing reminds me of James Brown when he slides his feet and Elvis with his karate dance moves! lol  Great song and entertaining...such a talented group of guys. :)

  67. S.... B....

    All I can think as I watch Ray is "More cow bell, I need more cow bell." Dennis says he never drank alcohol, guess that was to save room for his acid and weed. lol

    S.... B....

    And what the frack is Dennis doing to the little guitar man??? lol

    S.... B....

    LOL! I was thinking the same thing about the cow bell...SNL?!  I don't know how they perform so well being so high?? I would perform in that shape...playing the guitar with my face because it would be on the floor and singing out my butt...I guess?!! LOL!

    S.... B....

    @Sandra Burke I think the name of the song may be the answer to that one lol.

    S.... B....

    @Sandra Burke

    from the looks of it. The LSD or ACID freakout lol.

  68. B.... R....

    yeah were stoned and were sure as shit aint hiding it.lmao!!
