Oz For President

I’ve never watched this guy’s show (apparently it’s an Oprah spinoff, which explains that) but apparently he’s every bit as good at walking back an on-camera verbal gaffe as Gingrich, Perry, and the rest of that dwindling gang. He reportedly left his viewers with the impression that he agreed with one of his guests and thought limited tanning bed use was a safe source of Vitamin D, and now his public relations flacks are busy ‘splaining and backpedaling on the show’s website. Well, “doc”, what you really need to do to maintain any credibility with your fans is get on camera and admit you were misinformed. Put a real medical expert on your show, one who knows the facts about the link between tanning bed use and an increased risk of melanoma, and set the record straight.

Personally, “doc”, I don’t care what you do or don’t do, and just want to thank you for the inspiration for another fractured old song—Lesley Gore’s “Its My Party”…

Nobody knows where Doc Ozzy’s head’s gone
Seems he bought the tan line
Why was he touting those tans
When he's supposed to be fine

Its your party, and you’ll fry if you want to
Fry if you want to, fry if you want to
You could die too if C happens to you

‘Splainin’ bed’s records, keep preachin’ their fright
Leave D alone for a while
'Till Ozzy’s talkin' tan-free
We've got no reason to smile

Its your party, and you’ll fry if you want to
Fry if you want to, fry if you want to
You would die too if C happens to you

TV doc Ozzy just opened new door
Sayin’ ‘screen is the thing
Oh what a happy surprise
Ozzy’s preachin’ pale’s king

Its your party, and you'll fry if you want to
Fry if you want to, fry if you want to
You could die too if C happens to you
