-    The idea for this track dates more or less back to the beginning of the idea of an all-Doctor album. With heavy inspiration from the awesome [[track:can-you-give-me-a-hand|can you give me a HAND]], I decided to try out a combo of [[track:savior-of-the-waking-world|SotWW]] + the [[track:rollercoaster-tycoon-theme|RCT theme]]. After transposing the 4/4 RCT melody in the aforementioned song, from a MIDI [[artist:pipko-fanfare|dragonChaser]] kindly provided me, to E♭ minor (let's face it, [[group:toby-fox|Toby]] is the absolute madman), I had some help from [[artist:mrcheeze|MrCheeze]] and dC tweaking the rhythm so it matched SotWW a little better. [[artist:cecily-renns|JohnJRenns]] was a big help in getting the bass and drums to sound passable, though it was Makin's suggestion to use Doctor for the melody in the bass in the part where the piano comes in. The project became a lot more fun once I let it turn into a real remix, rather than an attempt to recreate something as complicated as the original -- I never appreciated just how much is going on during the main middle section of the song before. Anyways, I think it turned out pretty well for my first real remix (as opposed to an Audacity mashup).

     The song was originally called Slower of the Coasting Roll, but I realized that throwing in Slow your roll memes would make the song a little sillier than I was going for. Getting rid of that also let the name almost rhyme with the original name.

-    Not gonna lie, the only reason for this track existing is because of how ridiculous the name would sound. But [[track:doctor-remix|Doctor Remix]] is such a weird, experimental song to begin with that I really had no idea how I could possibly do a remix of it... so I just took the easy way out, throwing it in the wub machine and calling it a day. The end result is about as easy on the ears as the original Doctor Remix is, at least.

-    This is one of those rare times where as soon as I had the idea, most of the details came rushing into my mind on how I wanted it to go. Which is great, because it makes the process way easier! Despite this, lyrics are still hard. I think the biggest challenge was keeping it recognizable as a "doctor" remix despite the completely different chord progression, melody, etc, but in the end I feel like I pulled it off about as well as I reasonably could have. Fun fact: I finally bought a pop filter for my microphone after doing this and [[track:dr-doctor-phd|Dr. Doctor, PhD]], so while there's <b>P</b>lenty of <b>P</b>losives in this one, if I ever dare to sing again it should sound better next time. (Well, the singing would still be bad, but the recording would be better!)

     I was going to pretend that I'm actually capable of singing better than this but was just imitating [[artist:scott-stutzman|Stutzman]], but we all know that's a lie.

-    One day I asked the chat for ideas on another Doctor remix, and several people threw ideas at me. I deftly avoided all these ideas and decided to make a dance track instead. The name was inspired by [[track:doctoral-degree|Doctoral Degree]] by [[artist:difarem|Difarem]] from [[album:cool-and-new-voulem1|Volume 1]], since that was a dancey Doctor and this is basically a dancey [[track:savior-of-the-waking-world|Savior of the Waking World]], I named it after what one would do after earning their doctorate.

-    So, basically, I wanted to make at least one song for the album. I wanted to make something unique in some aspect and since I can hardly compose something original, Doctor played by heart monitors seemed to be reach my shitpost standards. The track was underwhelming though so to add to the scene of a patient on their deathbed, I added the background arguments from a sound effects website. It was really fucking funny to me so I left it at that. Shitpost done. I didn't realize [[artist:bin|Bin]] essentially did the same thing with [[track:orderly|Orderly]] until writing this commentary, so my fault for being a lazy git and not listening to other people's songs first.

     I was going to add a doctor reading the time of death at the end of the song (being 7:20) but it seemed forced and I couldn't be bothered to do it.

     My first completely serious track for Cool and New, this one exists only because MEME NUMBERS (and I'm glad that it does!) I did 4 songs for [[album:cool-and-new-voulem1|Vol 1]] and [[track:err-on-greif-acoostic-covre|1 song for Vol 2/II]], so naturally I had to do 3 for this volume to complete the mythical 413. You may also notice that all three of my tracks on this one have lengths that are permutations of 413 just to take it that extra mile (including awkwardly cutting off [[track:dr-doctor-phd|Dr. Doctor]] mid-phrase to force it to fit!)
 
-    By this point I had used up the low hanging fruit with Dr. Doctor and [[track:dr-pepper|Dr. Pepper]], so my original thought was to do a cover with mostly or entirely real instruments. I already had done a cover using nothing but bass guitar back before CaN was a thing, and I figures I could expand that into something bigger. Obviously that's not what ended up happening here at all! This song went through a lot of changes as I was making it, and the final product bears pretty much zero resemblance to anything I was imagining at the start. There are still quite a few real instruments - the acoustic and electric guitars, as well as the bass guitar are all live recordings. But everything else is synths, soundfonts, and VSTis. Even the name wasn't decided until the track was totally complete - it was just "doctor 3.rpp" on my computer until it was done and I realized that some [[track:savior-of-the-waking-world|Savior of the Waking World]] and [[Penumbra Phantasm]] had snuck in. After using up all my creativity on the track itself, none was left for the title, and so this shitty name is what we get to live with. Oh well.

     So was formed the first version of Do You Remember the Doctor. Then I showed it to people. Then Tirantbacon, AKA Music God Probably Maybe, told me he had some Problems™ with it. So he told me to give him the .flp file for the song. So I did. Then he did, um, whatever a Music God Probably Maybe does, and made this thing, which made the song infinitely better overall. So basically it's his song at this point. And I'm proud of him. <img src="media/misc/JaedHapy.png" width="24">

     I made this the day that songs for Volume 5 were due, when we thought we were one or two songs short from 52 tracks, 52 being a prime CANWC music team M E M E N U M B E R. So, I threw this together in Musescore by abusing [[artist:mrcheeze|MrCheeze's]] Doctor MIDI, and then took it to Audacity to do the panning. The plugin used for that was 'Random Panning', which can be found on the Audacity Wiki under 'Nyquist Plugins'. I highly recommend it.

     Eventually, interrobang came up to me and asked if i could make Doctor glitch art. I accepted, and after some mumbo jumbo that no one cares about and some pixel sorting, I had a widescreen glitched picture of Doctor. I then put it into a cinematic framing, where the picture stands now.
