In May 2007 Caro Emerald got a phonecall from Dutch producers Jan van Wieringen and David Schreurs. With another producer, they'd written a song for a Japanese pop act with the acclaimed songwriter Vince Degiorgio (Atomic Kitten, A-Teens, N'Synch, Love Inc. a.o.). But their demo singer couldn't make it. They needed something quickly, and that's how Caro got to record the demo of "Back It Up".
Caro liked the song so much that she added it to her live repertoire. A year later she got the chance to perform "Back It Up" on local TV station AT5 in Amsterdam. It caught on right away: viewers just wouldn't stop calling and e-mailing about that lovely girl with her catchy song. Caro and a friend produced a no budget video which ended up on Youtube, and again, the response was overwhelming. People literally begged her to sell the song on iTunes.
But with only one song on the repertoire, Caro and her team decided to focus on a full album first. Inspired by films and music from the 40's and 50's they started working on new songs and ideas. Fall 2008, David flew over to Toronto to write with Degiorgio, and returned with 7 great tracks and a clear direction for the album. A few months later, Vince came to Amsterdam to finish the album. The result: an exciting and hugely accessible record, featuring ballroom jazz, cinematic tangoes, groovin' jazz tracks and infectious mambo's that sound like they were recorded in 1951 in Hollywood's most famous recording studios. But the smoking beats, catchy songs and inventive production tell it's actually 2009 that Caro Emerald is putting her name on the map.
Dr. Wanna Do
Caro Emerald Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For a special rendez-vous
To see a man of miracles
And all that he can do
I checked in at reception
Put my hat onto my lap
And when he walked in dressed in white
My eyes went ooh
My voice just cooed
My mind let loose
I'll stay forever, it's up to you
Doctor I want you
Ooh, my Doctor Wanna Do
I can't get over you
Dr. do anything that ya Wanna Do
I sat down and I waited
Til I heard my name get called
It's like I'm at races
And I think I won them all
He asked me to step forward
First I caught my breath, and ran
For endless observation
In the hands of Superman
My eyes went ooh
My voice just cooed
My mind let loose
I'll stay forever, it's up to you
Doctor I want you
Ooh, my Doctor Wanna Do
I can't get over you
Dr. do anything that ya Wanna Do
Come over here and give me some medicine
Move a little closer so my head can spin
A little bit of potion makes my fever go
Get it outta me like a volcano
My eyes went ooh
My voice just cooed
My mind let loose
Ooh, Dr. Love
Doctor I want you
Ooh, my Doctor Wanna Do
I can't get over you
Dr. do anything that ya Wanna Do
The lyrics to Caro Emerald's song Dr. Wanna Do portray the singer as seeking out a doctor for an unconventional reason - not for medical attention, but for a romantic encounter. The lyrics indicate that the singer is infatuated by this doctor, referred to as "Dr. Wanna Do", and is entranced by his presence. The singer describes being overcome with emotion at the sight of the doctor and is eager to do anything to be with him, urging him to "do anything that ya Wanna Do".
The lyrics can be interpreted as a metaphor for a romantic longing or infatuation, with the doctor representing an unattainable object of desire or an idealized love interest. The singer's eagerness to "stay forever" with the doctor can be seen as a desire for the intense emotions of infatuation and the thrill of the chase. All in all, the lyrics speak to the universal experience of romantic longing and the desire for connection with another person.

I just made an appointment
I scheduled an appointment with a special individual
For a special rendez-vous
For a unique and intimate meeting
To see a man of miracles
To meet an extraordinary individual with seemingly miraculous capabilities
And all that he can do
And to witness all of his incredible abilities
I checked in at reception
I registered at the front desk
Put my hat onto my lap
Placed my hat on my lap
And when he walked in dressed in white
And when he arrived, dressed in white
I had a heart attack
I was overwhelmed with emotion
My eyes went ooh
My eyes widened in surprise and amazement
My voice just cooed
My voice became soft and expressive
My mind let loose
My thoughts became unrestrained and free
I'll stay forever, it's up to you
I'll stay forever if you allow me to, the choice is yours
Doctor I want you
Doctor, I desire you
Ooh, my Doctor Wanna Do
Oh, my doctor who can do anything that he wants
I can't get over you
I am unable to stop thinking about you
Dr. do anything that ya Wanna Do
Doctor, please do whatever you want with me
I sat down and I waited
I took a seat and waited patiently
Til I heard my name get called
Until I heard my name being called
It's like I'm at races
It's as if I'm in a competition
And I think I won them all
And I believe I emerged victorious
He asked me to step forward
He requested that I come closer
First I caught my breath, and ran
At first, I recovered my breath, and then moved quickly towards him
For endless observation
To be continuously monitored and evaluated
In the hands of Superman
Under the care of someone who is incredibly powerful and capable
Come over here and give me some medicine
Come closer and give me some sort of treatment or remedy
Move a little closer so my head can spin
Approach me so I can feel dizzy and lightheaded
A little bit of potion makes my fever go
A small amount of concoction can cure my fever
Get it outta me like a volcano
Remove the illness or discomfort from within me powerfully, like magma from a volcano
Ooh, Dr. Love
Oh, Dr. Love

How I imagine this transaction going.
Caro sees the doctor and is now explaining how she feels about him:
My eyes went OOH!~
My voice just cooed~
My mind let loose~
I'll stay forever, it's up to you!~
The Doctor, too flabbergasted with everything she's saying, can only reply with yelling:
DABEDEBEDIBEDABEDUDOHDOH
And she just disregards the Fred Flinstone she's talking to and keeps singing anyway.

I swear to god, I can't go a day without finding some new awesome music. I'm way into Electro-Swing, and I just discovered these guys like a day ago lol. Not sure how I missed them for so long. Anyways, I love the Hot-Jazz style of this track.
