Infusion Confusion

I’ve been busted by a younger blog reader (and tough melanoma warrior mom) for my boomer tastes in music. So, in response to her request for something a bit more contemporary, here’s an anthem in her honor sung to the tune of the Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive”…



Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a doctor’s man: no time to talk.
Music loud and chemo warm, I've been infused alot
since tumors born.
And now it's all right. It's OK.
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand
that chemo plan’s effect on man.

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,
you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the cancer breakin' and everybody shakin',
and we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.

Well now, I get low and I get high,
and if I can't get either, I really try.
Got the wings of heaven on my shoes.
I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose.
You know it's all right. It's OK.
I'll live to see another day.
We can try to understand
that chemo plan’s effect on brains.

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,
you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the cancer breakin' and everybody shakin',
and we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.

Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me.
Somebody help me yeah. Stayin' alive.

Well, you can tell by the way I talk and walk,
I'm a chemo man: no time to balk.
Music loud and chemo warm, I've been kicked around
since tumors born.
And now it's all right. It's OK.
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand
that chemo plan’s effect on brains.

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,
you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the cancer breakin' and everybody shakin',
and we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.

Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me yeah.
I'm Stayin' alive.

If you see me trying to dance to the YouTube video of the original, please look the other way.
