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 Second That Emotion

From Smokey Robinson & The Miracles…

Maybe you think that Black C’s just skin deep
And only for one fright with no repeat
Maybe just go away and never maul
And a paste of sunscreen is just no fun at all (oh little girl)

Oh little girl, in that case I don't want no part
That would only break my heart
Oh, but if you know “just skin C’s” mean
If you get the notion
I second that emotion
Said, if you know “just skin C” means
A lifetime of commotion
I second that emotion

Maybe you think that meds would lie you down
You ain't got the time to hang around
Maybe you think that meds were made for fools
So it makes you wise to break the rules

Oh little girl, in that case I don't want no part
That would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like beating C
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
Said, if you feel like giving C
A line of toxic potions
I second that emotion

Maybe you think that sunscreen is for geeks
Pale’s only for uptight and is not neat
Maybe you broil away and have a ball
Think a paste of sunscreen is just no fun at all (oh little girl)

Oh little girl, in that case I don't want no part
That would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like ‘screening thee
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
Said, if you feel like pale skin’s neat
A lifetime of sun lotion
I second that emotion

Maybe you think that Hotel M’s not ‘round
You ain't lookin’ fine if you’re not brown
Maybe you think that tan bed’s healthy tool
So it makes you wise to say we’re fools

Oh little girl, in that case I don't want no part
That would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like joining me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
Said, if you feel “just skin C” needs
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion

Well, if you feel “just skin C” needs
A lifetime of devotion...
