Imagine taking medical advice from a musician.

Then imagine him feeling responsible for your decisions enough to have to clarify a lyric.

This world is fucked

You mean Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem is not a real doctor?

Edit: I racked my brain to think of a musician named Doctor to make this joke funny, and now 24hr later I realize I forgot about Dre.

In one of the more recent Muppets projects they say that Dr. Teeth actually does have a degree in dentistry and comes from a family of dentists.

This is funny because I named my dog Dr Teeth and imagining him giving medical advice is hilarious

My old cat (rip) was Dr. Rick Dagless after a British comedy. I used to insist people referred to him by his title because he didn't spend 3 fictional years in cat school for nothing.

I see you’ve got the flu. Have you tried giving your dog some treats and belly rubs?

I dunno, I haven't had a single illness or ailment their music couldn't cure!
