Break On Through To The Paler Side

A few words of unsolicited advice. (Come to think of it, have I ever given any other kind on this site?) Your check-in at the Hotel Melanoma is not a reason to hide indoors the rest of your life. This Hotel includes a white sandy beach, infinity pool with a swim-up bar, Par 90 golf course with funnel-shaped greens that feed all putts to the hole, hiking and biking trails that only go downhill, and continuously groomed ski slopes. All for your outdoor enjoyment during daylight hours. You needn’t cower in your room from dawn to dusk, because you haven’t been transformed into a vampire who will instantly vaporize in the sun. So please keep on doing the things you enjoy, just exercise a little common sense out there and protect the skin you’re still in.


I’ll end today’s homily with the Hotel Melanoma rendition of The Doors’ “ Break On Through”…

You know sunrays are joy to ride
Hide inside? No way!
Tried to sun
Tried to fry
Break on through to the paler side
Break on through to the paler side
Break on through to the paler side, yeah

We phased out leather care
Donned our SP wear
But can you still recall
The times we fried
Break on through to the paler side
Break on through to the paler side

Yeah!
C'mon, yeah

Everybody loves my pale sheen
Everybody loves my pale sheen
We get
We get
We get
We get WHITE

I found an island with more charms
Sunbeams with no fries
Palms that shade
Time outside
Break on through to the paler side
Break on through to the paler side
Break on through, oww!
Oh, yeah!

Bathed in ‘screen
Cheek to cheek
Day to day
Hour to hour
The gate is straight
Deep and wide
Break on through to the paler side
Break on through to the paler side
Break on through
Break on through
Break on through
Break on through
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
