My psychiatrrist and I are coming up on our one year anniversary… not of dating, of course, but of therapy. Anyways, I thought it’d be funny to make him a mix CD of psychiartic/ doctor related songs. So far my song list is looking like this: Crazy-- Patsy Cline Insane in the Membrane – Cypress Hill Doctor, Doctor-- Thompson Twins Doing the Unstuck-- The Cure etc, etc… If anyone can think of and post some more songs I would appreciate it. By the way, I’m a sometime lurker and first time poster. Hi to you all. ---

Not a doctor song, but the first thing that popped into my head was Crazy Train by Ozzy. Maybe Witch Doctor, by whoever the heck did it first. ---

Joni Mitchell wrote a song called “Crazy” that Bette Midler also covered. Worth tracking down either version. ---

It’s called “Twisted,” and they BOTH covered it: the original, a brilliant song and THE definitive version, is by [Lambert Hendricks & Ross](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000032EM/qid=1094645488/sr=1-5/ref=sr_1_5/103-9941329-8093469?v=glance&s=music).

“Mirror in the Bathroom” by the Beat. “slip gently into mental illness” “She Drives Me Crazy” by the Fine Young Cannibals (would be cute if your shrink was a woman. But, apparently he’s not). “Fluffhead” by Phish. “but his mind was so deranged” “King of Nothing” by Phish. “those dreams which drove me mad” “Crazy Love” by Van Morrison may not quite be the message you want to send your shrink. ---
