Review about Dr.Jimmy ------Performed by The Who | 05/19/2007 11:00:00 AM Dr. Jimmy and Mr. Jim 1 out of 1 Found the view helpful This song is one of the cleverest on the album Quadrophenia. The story of the album is about a Mod with an extreme case of schizophrenia - Quadrophenia, and this song is about how he reacts to Gin. The clever part is in the chorus "Dr Jimmy and Mr Jim" This is an obvious connection with Dr Jeckil and Mr Hyde (also about schizophrenia) but it gest more interesting. John previously wrote a song called Dr Jekil and Mr Hyde, and this song includes Johns theme, so it's very clever Well written throughout, and somehow takes up 8 minutes without ridiculously long spells of instrumentals, and the repetion of the theme (Is It Me...) and chorus (Dr Jimmy and Mr Jim...) is kept to a minimum, but still kept memorable. One of the most advanced songs on the album, it also moulds slowly into the instumental "The Rock" after a hosrt space of "Love Reign O'er Me" sinthesisers. Thanks to Xander for submitting the review.
