about
The real Dr John Fell (1625-86) was a college dean at Christ Church, Oxford. After expelling the satirical English poet Tom Brown, he offered to take him back if he could translate a few lines of Latin. Brown twisted the translation to read "I do not like thee, Doctor Fell, The reason why - I cannot tell; But this I know, and know full well, I do not like thee, Doctor Fell". Since then, Dr Fell's name has been used to represent an unaccountably repellent person and the author Robert Louis Stevenson drew on this tradition by including a reference to Dr Fell in the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Likewise, The Cathodes song also draws on the negitivity of the split personality with these historical and fictional influences. The track has a driving bass line with a massive influence of Trevor Horn's production work. There's a mix of distorted and clean electric guitar sounds as well as acoustic guitar. A mix of keyboards used includes the iconic Roland Jupiter 8 and Juno 60 along with samples from a Fairlight CMI.
lyrics
The cold light of day brings a cool empty silence
Reading through the news reports, something’s on his mind
A lone wolf, castaway, deep in the back of beyond
Slave to the bottle the night before, he didn’t know what he saw
Whoooh, Dr Fell
Whoooh, Dr Fell
There’s evil in the night, his eyes looking out
Bringing a bitter pill, that’s the price you pay
Once he had the flair for the finer things in life
Now he can't do anything, Dr Fell is here to stay
Whoooh, Dr Fell
Whoooh, Dr Fell
Whoooh, Dr Fell
Whoooh, Dr Fell
His father used to tell him, to stop his idol worship
The day of reckoning, close at hand
He refused to forget his foolish dreams, seeking revenge
Refused to forget – the things he’s seen.
Whoooh, Dr Fell
Whoooh, Dr Fell
Whoooh, Dr Fell
Whoooh, Dr Fell
