Story Behind The Song
Exactly what the first words say - inspired by Dr. Phil's appearance on a local newscast and by my serial viewing habit.
Song Description
Done in the style of Tom Lehrer, Spike Jones, and (lyrically) Weird Al Yankovic. Pokes fun at Dr. Phil and his guests with an 'if you can't beat 'em join 'em' perspective.

Lyrics
Dr. Phil 2006 Roger Idaho
Just turned on the news at 5
For a peek at the latest headlines
Guess I shouldn't be too surprised
Dr. Phil's on with my local newsguy
Now I hadn't given very much thought
About what it is that's made him so hot
Well duh, I guess it's obvious
Dr. Phil's not charging diddly squat
Dr. Phil, Dr. Phil
Please give me your advice
Dr. Phil, Dr. Phil
Please fix my miserable life
I've watched your show intently
For weeks now it seems
Picking up tips aplenty
For dealing with mental disease
and I must say I'm truly amazed
It seems you're very at ease
With even the most abhorrently gross
And detestable mental malaise
Let's just take one example
A lady who has trouble I can't bear to watch
And listen here's what's remarkable
It's Dr. Phil's response
He says to her now lady
Your daughter you made a 'ho
So we're gonna make some changes
Or it's offa my show you'll go
Your husband's hooked on pornography
Your son is doing crack
A life changing moment's in order
Or I won't bring you back
Well if you don't think he's effective
I got news for you
That lady's back in just two weeks
Her life's as good as new!
Dr. Phil, Dr. Phil
I know just what you'll say
Give me one hundred per cent pure honesty
or I'll send you on your way
Hey Dr. Phil I know your drill
I've seen it on TV
The foibles of your families
We watch so voyeuristically
Congrats are way in order
You've succeeded fantastically
At creating your own designer form
of dysfunctionality
Speaking of transgender confusion
Take the story of transsexual Bill
couldn't figure out his sexual identity
but not so dr phil
he said to that dear family
don't feel grampaless
I'm sure that your new gamma bill
will be so very medicinal
Hey Dr. Phil you're quite a pill
Your medicine's strong but sure
Just get honest on his show
And he'll fix you up a cure
Hey Dr. Phil you're welcome
At my house anytime
'Cause you know that on occasion
My damn stanzas they don't rhyme
That's when I need an intervention
Of the therapeutic kind
A private one on one session
Is what I have in mind
Now call me presumptuous
but I know just what I need
The cure for my depression
Is you and me on network TV
Dr. Phil, Dr. Phil
Please give me your advice
Dr. Phil, Dr. Phil
Please fix my misereable life
Dr. Phil, Dr. Phil
better than any prescription pill
Dr. Phil, Dr. Phil
Never a better time to be mentally ill
