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.

Hysteria

Do you ever feel utterly powerless? Like so many others at The Hotel Melanoma, I want so badly to do something to kick melanoma to the curb so that others never have to follow in my footsteps. But I’m not a brilliant oncologist or research scientist, or a rich guy with a foundation. I’m just one lucky survivor with a story and a blog. And I get just a bit manically crazy at times about wanting, somehow and someway, to do more to send melanoma on the highway to hell. This has been one of those weeks. Individually, my reach exceeds my grasp. And it probably always will. But I know I’m so not alone in this manic and evangelistic quest to beat the beast; collectively, we’ll get it done.

For all of you melangelicals who are joining in the fight, here’s The Hotel Melanoma rendition of Def Leppard’s “Hysteria”…



Out of touch
Out of reach, yeah
We should try to get close to defeat
I'm in ‘love’
I'm in deep, yeah
Hypnotized
I'm shakin' to my knees

You gotta know tonight
You’re not alone in fight
Can't stop this feeling
Can't stop this fire

I get hysterical
Hysteria
Oh, can you feel it (Oh can you feel it)
Do you believe it (Do you believe it)
It's such a magical mysteria
When you get that feelin' (When you get that feelin')
Better start believin (Better start believin')
Cause it's a miracle
Say you will, ooh babe
Hysteria when we’re near

Out of we
‘Skin C’s’ through, yeah
We could hide
It's ‘just’ a sunray beast
Oh, I believe I'm with you, yeah
Hopin’ high, that's right
Dream me off my feet
Oh, believe in we

You gotta know tonight
You’re not alone in fight
Can't stop this feelin'
Can't stop this fire
Oh

I get hysterical
Hysteria
Oh, can you feel it (Oh can you feel it)
Do you believe it (Do you believe it)
It's such a magical mysteria
When you get that feelin' (When you get that feelin') Better start believin (Better start believin')
Cause it's a miracle
Say you will
Ooh babe
Hysteria when we're near

Come on

You gotta know tonight
You’re not alone in fight
Can't stop this feelin'
Can't stop this fire

I get hysterical
Hysteria
Oh can you feel it (Oh can you feel it)
Do you believe it (Do you believe it)
It's such a magical mysteria
When you get that feelin',(When you get that feelin')
Better start believin,(Better start believin')
Cause it's a miracle, oh say you will,
Oh babe (Oh can you feel it)
Oh babe (Do you believe it)
Oh (I get hysterical)
Hysterical (Hysteria)
Hysteria (When you get that feelin')
You better believe it (Better start believin')
'Cause it's a miracle
Say you will
Oh baby
Say you will

(Get close to defeat)
Get closer,
Baby
Closer (closer)
Closer (get closer)
Close to defeat
