I just posted the lyrics to the Laryngospasms' song RING OF FIRE in the conveniently current thread BS: Ever had a hemorrhoidectomy?.

Here's the same video at YouTube.


WAKING UP IS HARD TO DO
As sung by The Laryngospasms.

Patient's goin' down, dooby-doo, down, down.
Patient's goin' down, dooby-doo, down, down.
Patient's goin' down, dooby-doo, down, down.
Wakin' up is hard to do.

Don't take my tube away from me.
I'm tryin' to breathe, oh, can't you see?
Take it out and I'll turn blue,
'Cause wakin' up is hard to do.

I beg of you, please give me one more try.
I'm only ninety, much too young to die.
I put all my faith in you,
'Cause wakin' up is hard to do.

They say that wakin' up is hard to do.
Now I know, I know that it's true.
Don't say that this is the end.
Instead of wakin' up, I think my incision's opened up again.

I am in such misery.
Feels like my eyes are taped and I can't see.
If I wake, I'm going to sue,
'Cause wakin' up is hard to do.

They say that wakin' up is hard to do.
Now I know, I know that it's true.
Don't say that this is the end.
Instead of wakin' up, I think my incision's opened up again.

Now I'm awake. I can breathe and see.
My bladder's full and I've got to pee.
Now I think I'll throw up on you,
'Cause wakin' up is hard to do.

Patient's goin' down, dooby-doo, down, down.
Patient's goin' down, dooby-doo, down, down.
Wakin' up is hard to do.

I've just forwarded this to my wife who works for the Strategic Health Authority, I'm sure she and her colleagues will love it. It will have probably spread round the whole NHS by tomorrow

This chorus of anesthesiologists doing DooWop is absolutely impressive. A great parody of a great original. For those who love DooWop (or going under).
