Songs mentioning specific medical conditions

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

AIDs HIV

I thought this LP was great when it came out. . . . I didn't overthink the content, but now I'm older, I wonder/muse that if it's a comedy album it's a bit lame and childish (probably not 'ironic') and if it's 'for real' how these guys think, well then they are a massive bunch of tools.

I reckon it's probably a mix of both.

Uncle Phil can't live without his pills
He has emphysema and he's almost blind

 

[zedr]

You will keep on smoking for the rest of your life, and then you'll get cancer and then you'll die/
I can stop whenever I please, and anyway I'm immune to emphysema and heart disease.

I'm genuinely surprised that there's been no mention of Poison Ivy by The Coasters, which along with its really quite dodgy and dated lyrics (albeit set to quite a catchy tune), mentions whooping cough and chicken pox and is probably overall referring to some sort of sexually transmitted infection.

Syphilis - which just happens to be on a dramatic increase here in Aus!

 

[ice-is-forming]

Gonorreah anyone..

 

[Buddy Bradley]

I was briefly convinced that there was a Fall song that mentions myxomatosis, but I now think I may have made that one up.

I think there's a number in Meet The Feebles that mentions it.

 

[Saul Goodman]

For a moment I was really looking at that thinking "Ah, so is Blindness the Fall song that mentions myxomatosis then?" before I realised.

By those lights, You Give Love A Bad Name.

 

[PTK]

"If you see Saint Annie, please tell her thanks a lot
I cannot move, my fingers they are all in a knot
I don't have the strength to get up and take another shot
And my best friend, the doctor, won't even tell me what it is I've got"
