Music to MRI By

The airline industry, which is not known for stellar customer service, lets me check-in for a flight online and print a boarding pass at home (or even download the pass on a smartphone). So why does the radiology department at a high tech university medical center make me check in for a scan thirty minutes in advance of my appointment, so I’ll have plenty of time to fill out the same paper form I’ve completed on a dozen or so previous occasions to disclose, yet again, that I have no metallic implants in my anatomy?

Oh well, if you’ve been hanging around this Hotel for very long you’ve probably had a MRI or twelve. So you know that even with earplugs it’s really, really loud in that tube. Not to mention boring and claustrophobic. With apologies to ZZ Top, I’ve written some new lyrics to “Tube Snake Boogie” for you to sing along with those banging magnets and pass the time…

I got a doc she works cross town,
She's the one that really scans down.
When she boogie,
She do the tube scan boogie.
Well now boogie missy doctor,
Boogie woogie all day long.

I got a doc she works on the clock,
She kinda funky with her pink and black smock.
She likes to boogie,
She do the tube scan boogie.
Well now boogie woogie doctor,
Boogie woogie all day long.

I got a doc, she works on the hill.
She can't scan me but those magnets will,
When she boogie,
She do the tube scan boogie.
Well now boogie missy doctor,
Boogie woogie all day long.
Blow your top blow your top blow your top.
