I don't smoke weed or sess
'Cause it's known to give a brother brain damage
And brain damage on the mic don't manage

As delivered by Dr Dre, who shortly afterwards made an album called The Chronic.

My mother died of cancer when I was five"
(Also one of most simple and profound lines ever written IMO)

Bit of a theme with the Subhumans:




We can also mention:

But sadly neither ignorance nor being British are really recognised medical conditions so don't think that one really counts.

 

[Elpenor]

Fortunately for everyone else I cant find any YouTube links for the following Kunt and the Gang songs

“Angry birds gave me piles”
“Feminine itch”
“The cure for depression” (not bad this one)
“Tourette’s Girlfriend”

OMG Subhumans - band of my youth! Our local lads, did a coming home gig a few weeks ago which was an absolute riot. Lovely to see Dick - my sisters first boyfriend - and Trotsky looking so well.

[gentlegreen]

A cleaned-up version of a song about an actual product.

Spoiler: original bawdy lyrics

Chorus: Then we'll sing, we'll sing,
We'll sing of Lydia Pinkham,
Savior of the human race.
How she makes, she bottles,
She sells her vegetable compound,
And the papers publish her face.

Widow Brown, she had no children,
Though she loved them very dear,
So she took, she swallowed, she gargled
Some vegetable compound,
And now she has them twice a year.

Willie Smith had peritonitis,
And he couldn't piss at all,
So he took, he swallowed, he gargled
Some vegetable compound,
And now he's a human waterfall.

Mrs. Jones had rotten kidneys;
Poor old lady couldn't pee,
So she took, she swallowed, she gargled
Some vegetable compound,
And now they pipe her out to sea.

Geraldine, she had no breastworks,
And she couldn't fill her blouse,
So she took, she swallowed, she gargled,
Some vegetable compound,
And now they milk her with the cows.

Arthur White had been castrated
And had not a single nut,
So he took, he swallowed, he gargled
Some vegetable compound,
And now they hang all 'round his butt.

Billy Black lacked hair on his balls,
And his pecker wouldn't peck,
So he took, he swallowed, he gargled
Some vegetable compound,
Now it's as long as a gy-raffe's neck.
