You (Doctor, Doctor)," a 1979 single that reached the top 15 on the
U.S. chart and went all the way to number one in Canada.
Hello...
I'm Doctor
Shaun Murphy.
I am a young autistic
surgeon with savant
syndrome on staff
at the prestigious
St. Bonaventure

The Good Doctor.
Along with my distinguished (but inferior to me) colleagues
and my on-again, off-again BFF Lea, I welcome you to
The Good Doctors:
Music Is Medicine...
...a sneak preview presented without commercial interruption.
The songs we play
will make you smile,
dance and have fun...
three things that
are outside of my
wheelhouse. In fact,
I don't even have
a wheelhouse. So,
go on and have
a good time.
I'll watch.
I'm Lea Dilallo...
Shaun's on-again, off-again platonic friend, on-again,
off-again roommate and on-again, off-again love interest.
Our next featured song comes to us from Anne Reburn, a talented young Okie
who moved to L-A and became a star on YouTube writing and singing her
own songs and performing creative covers. On her recordings, Anne
sings all of the vocal parts in harmony, plays multiple musical
instruments and does her own production mixing.
Anne is here to sing another popular
Robert Palmer song, one that topped
the chart in 1986. The iconic video
that promoted the single is one of
the most memorable from the
golden years of MTV. Upon
examination by Shaun and
his team, the fella in the song
presented with the following
symptoms: body shakes, can't
sleep, can't eat, and heartbeat
in double time. I'm not a
doctor, but I know what's
wrong with him. Poor guy's
addicted to love. Here now
is Anne Reburn doing the
Robert Palmer song in the

style of a hit cover by
Florence & The Machine!

I'm Dr. Claire Brown...
a surgical resident, co-worker and close friend of Shaun Murphy.
I have a reputation for showing empathy for patients and families
and for my emotional maturity, patience and understanding.
Now here is Cuts Monsieur,
a Japanese singer and musician
who loves The Beatles and is on
a mission to cover all their songs.
Like Anne Reburn, the artist Lea
introduced, Cuts overdubs all
vocal and instrumental parts
in his home studio.

Here's a song from The Beatles 1966
Revolver album.
He's a man you must

No one can succeed like--

I'm Dr. Morgan Reznick...
a competitive, self-centered surgical resident at St. Bonaventure.
I have a friendly ongoing rivalry with Dr. Claire Brown
because she and I have opposite personalities and work ethics.
For instance, I once flashed
my boobies at a very sick
male patient at his bedside.
The dude made the speediest
recovery in medical history.

The latest admission to my unit
is a young man by the name of
(wait... I need to look it up...)
Michael Jackson. His chief
complaint is a broken heart.
Here with more details are

My next patient is
a gentleman named
James Brown. I need
to hold him overnight
for observation because
he keeps breaking out
in a "Cold Sweat."

Welsh warbler Bonnie Tyler came into St. Bonaventure with, in her words,
"nothing but a heartache." Well, as it turned out, both arms were also in
bad shape, because she was in the habit of loving her man till her arms
break. In 1978, Bonnie appeared on the London-based TV music
show Top Of The Pops and performed her signature song.
