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.

Tutus Are Made For Walking

Yo, melanoma! You’ve been messing with the wrong people and one of these days we’re gonna walk all over you. So, Mr. ‘Just Skin Cancer’, get ready for a stomping. Because it’s coming. Soon.

For all of you who’ve participated in melanoma fundraising walks and runs this year, and especially for the melahomie who roped me into walking (again) this weekend in a black tutu, here’s The Hotel Melanoma rendition of one of the worst songs of the 60’s, Nancy Sinatra’s “These Boots Are Made For Walking”…



You keep saying you got something for we
Something you call ‘love’ but just guess
You've been a'messin' where you shouldn't 've been a'messin'
And now someone else is getting all your ‘best’
Well, tutus are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
One of these days these dudes are gonna walk all over you

You keep tryin' when you oughta be losin'
You keep ‘busin’ friends you oughta not get
You keep preyin' when you oughta be a'prayin’
What's right is right but you ain't been right yet
Tutus are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
One of these days these dudes are gonna walk all over you

You keep preying where you shouldn't be preying
And you keep thinking that you'll never get burnt (HAH)
Well, I've just found me some brand new oncs with matches (YEAH)
And what they know you ain't had time to learn
Tutus are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
One of these days these dudes are gonna walk all over you

Are you ready, dudes?
Start walkin'
