The Dockenwamp is People!
Approximately, one year ago I was introduced to the concept of the "Dockenwamp." I have to admit that even in my moments of relative peace, I still wondered "What is the Dockenwamp?" Thanks to Haplo, I got the answer.
However to fully understand, I have to explain the context of the "Dockenwamp." We saw it at the Orpheus Club, a Philadelphia institution whose purpose seems to be properly expressed in it's French motto: "Avocats, travestites, et soirees musicales." They have events where people need to suck up to two gentleman named "Doc" and "Wamp" (pictured.) Evidenlty, they have to suck up by singing a song that is suspciously similar to Queen's "Give me the Prize," featured on the soundtrack to the movie "Highlander." This leaves me to believe that the members have to behead each other to win the favor of the "Doc and Wamp."
The sad thing is that the picture, taken by Jeff Porten, came out blurry. That's not a shot at Jeff, I'm sure much like the Sasquatch, Yeti, and Chupacabra, the Dockenwamp does not photgraph well.
