The song with the "Gimme Dr. Rock" lyrics are from the album "Electric
Shocks" by Roger Ruskin Spear.  That fine album also contained the
memorable "(I Want to be your) Mattress Man."  It also had the song
"All My Yourself in the Moonlight" (possibly not the exact title -- I'm
at work and my record collection is at home) which started out as a
little solo piece and gradually had people butting in playing various
instruments, including steamship whistle and rush hour traffic.

Roger was one of the original Bonzo Dog Band members.  I don't know
what he's up to these days.  In fact, other than Neil Innes, I haven't
heard anything about any of the BDB members in years.  The last one I
remember hearing about (other than Neil who we all know and love for
his work with Monty Python and the Rutles) was Viv Stanshall doing the
narration for "Tubular Bells."  Has anybody got more up-to-date info?

If anyone wants specfic info on the Roger Spear album, send me
mail.
