Introduction

The "Hotel Melanoma" moniker is a metaphor for living with my particular brand of cancer. Except for those lucky few of us deemed "cured", all we cancer survivors are guests of one of the many, many branded hotels in the "Hotel Carcinoma" chain. We can check out any time we like, but we can never leave. Meanwhile, let's be livin' it up; and please support cancer education, prevention, and treatment research.

I Want a New Drug!

Here’s a request from a blog reader, some new lyrics to Huey Lewis & The News’ “I Want a New Drug”…

Sing along with the music video of the original:

I want some new meds
Some that won't make me broke
Some that will make my tumors shrink
And make melanoma croak

I want a new drug
One that’s a new breakthrough
One that will make insurers say
That my claim’s gone through

One that won't make docs nervous
Wondering what’s the dose
One that makes them feel like my cancer’s on the run
Then my cancer is done!

I want a new drug
One that can’t miss
One that won't cost too much
Or spoil my bliss

I want a new drug
One that won't go astray
One that will make my scans turn clear
One that will take my cancer ‘way

One that won't make docs nervous
Wondering what’s the dose
One that makes them feel like my cancer’s on the run
Then my cancer is done!
I'm all done with you cancer

I want a new drug
One that does what it should
One that won't make my cancer glad
One that will make my doc’s feel good

I want some new meds
Some with no doubt
Some that will make my tumors die
And run my cancer out

Some that won't make docs nervous
Wondering what’s the dose
Some that make them feel like my cancer’s on the run
Then my cancer is done!
