about

Jan-Paul schreef dit liedje begin jaren 80 toen hij speelde in de band Double Use. In 2014 nam hij het opnieuw op met virtuele instrumenten. Met een licht aangepaste tekst diende deze opname als demo voor The Doo's met de Engelse komiek Stevie Riks. The Doo's zijn er niet toe gekomen om het nummer op te nemen in hun repertoire van Beatles- pastiches.
Het liedje is een ode aan het geduld van de therapeute die JP in die tijd frequenteerde. De foto is gemaakt door Alexander Vidacovic tijdens een optreden van JP in het Koningsduin bij Castricum.

lyrics

THE DOUBLE USE

You're always good news
You're one of my special fews
You've got an extra fuse
You've got the double
You've got the double
You've got the double use

I don't have an excuse
Yes I play in the Doo's
When I might overproduce
You've got the double
You've got the double
You've got the double use

You are so patient with me
Your patient I want to be
