Reading as the Doc Rambles On (Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay, Otis Redding / Steve Cropper)

There are many incredibly insightful LOST bloggers out there, but there is only one whose analysis is an integral ingredient in my afternoon the day after a new episode airs. Here's an ode to Entertainment Weekly's Doc Jensen to the tune of Otis Redding's Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay.

Reading as the Doc Rambles On


Sittin’ on the Internet.
Is the latest column posted yet?
Pressin’ refresh again.
What’s the page count? Well, today it’s ten. Wow!

I’m reading as the Doc rambles on.
I’m on page nine - almost done!
Yeah, and my reading as the Doc rambles on
Takes some time.

Jeff Jensen is a genius,
Theories coming out his ears.
With his egg-headed allusions,
I’ll be compiling lists of books for years.

Now, though, I’ll just read as the Doc rambles on.
I’m on page nine - almost done!
Yeah, my reading as the Doc rambles on
Takes some time.

Psychopomp and circumstance!
Anamnesis - a true love trance!
Goin’ blind examining what’s on his mind.
Can’t make do with a passing glance, no.

Sittin’ here fused to the couch
In a sluggish sleep-impoverished slouch,
And when season six runs out,
I am gonna be a grouch.

But till then I’ll read as the Doc rambles on.
I’m on page nine - almost done!
Yeah, my reading as the Doc rambles on
Takes some time...
