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.

Funscreen


It’s summertime and there’s just no reason not to get outside and do the things you love. (The Hotel Melanoma has recently installed a new infinity pool overlooking the ocean; poolside bar service and lifeguards on duty until 3 a.m.) To celebrate this season of fun and safe sun, here’s a new version of the Beach Boys’ “Fun Fun Fun”…



Well, we got our tumor scars
And we’ve been through the infusion thing, now
Seems we forgot all about the hospital
And we have some new plans, now
And with the tumors all blasted go
Livin' life as best as we can, now

And we'll have fun, fun, fun
And we’ll never put the sunscreen away
(Fun, fun, fun, and we’ll never put the sunscreen away)

Well, the sun can't scare us
'Cause we sun block and have a pale face, now
(You got a pale face now, now, you got a pale face)
We make the sun leathered people look like
some weathered new human race, now
(You got a pale face, now, you got a pale face)
A lot of folks try to tease us
But we’re livin’ in tannin’ free space, now
(You got a pale face, now, you got a pale face)

And we'll have fun, fun, fun
And we’ll never put the sunscreen away
(Fun, fun, fun, and we’ll never put the sunscreen away)

Well, we knew all along
That our hides were gettin' fried too well, now
(You shouldn't-a fried, now, you shouldn't-a fried)
And since docs took your tan away
You been thinkin' that your fun is all through now
(You shouldn't-a fried, now, you shouldn't-a fried)
But you can come along with me
'Cause we got a lot of things to do now
(You shouldn't-a fried, now, you shouldn't-a fried)

And we'll have fun, fun, fun
And we’ll never put the sunscreen away
(Fun, fun, fun, now we’ll never put the sunscreen away)

And we'll have fun, fun, fun
And we’ll never put the sunscreen away
(Fun, fun, fun, now we’ll never put the sunscreen away)

Fun, fun, fun now that doctors took our tanning away
Fun, fun, now that doctors took our tanning away
