"Doctor Worm" is a song by They Might Be Giants. The lyrics deal with a man learning to play the drums. He invents a stage name for himself ("Doctor Worm") though he claims in the song's lyrics that while he isn't a real doctor, he is an actual worm. It first appeared on the primarily live album Severe Tire Damage, being one of only three studio-recorded songs on the album. It was also released as a single and featured in a music video.
