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.

Pour Some Sunscreen On Me

According to an article in today’s online US News and World Report, indoor tanning beds may be even more likely to cause skin cancer than previously believed:

“New research published online Oct. 6 in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology suggests that the main type of ultraviolet rays used in tanning beds -- UVA1 -- may penetrate to a deep layer of skin that is most vulnerable to the cancer-causing changes caused by UV rays.”

Yikes.

Please stay out of those things, slap on some sunscreen when you’re outdoors, and rock on to a ripe and pale old age with a new version of Def Leppard’s “Pour Some Sugar On Me”…



Step inside, hear my say
You and me babe, hey hey

Tan is like a bomb, baby, c'mon get it gone
Livin' like a tanner in the UV zone
Lookin' like a tramp, like a Jersey Shore vamp
Demolition woman, can I stop your tan
Your tan

Razzle 'n' a dazzle 'n' a flash a UV light
Tanning salon lover, baby, you’re a fright
Sometime, anytime, sunscreen is neat
Little miss-a-ignorant, sun screen thee, yeah

Take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up

Pour some sunscreen on me, ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sunscreen on me, c'mon pale me up
Pour your sunscreen on me, oh, I can't get enough
I've got flaky moles from my head to my feet yeah

Listen
Red light, yellow light, green-a-light go
Crazy little woman with a tan bed glow
Mirror queen, mannequin, weathered old glove
Sweet dream, save your skin, pale on up
I paled on up

You gotta squeeze a little, squeeze a little
Spread a little more
Don’t let melanoma come-a-knockin' on your door
Sometime, anytime, sunscreen is neat
Little miss ignorant, sun screen thee, yeah
Spread a little more

Take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up

Pour some sunscreen on me, ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sunscreen on me, c'mon pale me up
Pour your sunscreen on me, oh, I can't get enough
I've got flaky moles from my head to my feet yeah

You hear my preachin’, I could just scream
Hate to waste your young skin
'Cause you’ve got, you’ve got, skin so sweet
From your head, your head to your feet
To your feet
Do you use sunscreen, SPF true?

Take a bottle, take a bottle
Shake it up, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up
Break it up

Pour some sunscreen on me, ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sunscreen on me, c'mon pale me up
Pour your sunscreen on me, oh, I can't get enough
Pour some sunscreen on me, oh, in the name of love
Pour some sunscreen on me, get it, come get it
Pour your sunscreen on me, ooh
Pour some sunscreen on me, yeah
Protect me
