Talk:Doctor Worm

From This Might Be A Wiki

Ok, i'm moving this trivia item to the talk page: "The melody line for "They call me Doctor Worm / Good morning, how are you" is the same as "Because my love for you / Would break my heart in two" from "Let's Dance" by David Bowie." I know both songs very well, and I don't know if I agree with that statement. Anyone else have an opinion? --Duke33 19:11, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree. After listening to this song for the first time i say it does. --Goodtimes2
Different melody lines. --Oddjob 19:31, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


I just saw a drummer on Late Night with Conan O'Brien named James Wormworth, who's known as Worm who's from New York. Has it ever been mentioned that he might be the inspiration for the drummer part of the song? —Fitch 16:58, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Real worm or not?

Like many of Linnell's creations, I'm baffled by whether the subject is real or just "real." The lyrics claim, "I am an actual worm," but then the character proves he's not REALLY a worm by doing things like playing drums and twirling sticks.

I would say it's safe to assume he's a real worm, who exists in the fictional world of the song where worms are capable of talking and playing drums. --Oddjob 19:31, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
