10 Songs You Don't Want Doctors To Sing
Space.ca

We all have the jokes about what doctors shouldn't say, but how about what they shouldn't sing? The songs may sound innocent, but just imagine lying on the operating table, or sitting in the clinic, and the doctor starts whistling a tune. I've had numerous meetings with surgeons and undergone several surgeries to be an expert on how sensitive you become to everything your doctor does. Doctors and nurses are smart, and they usually mean well, but sometimes the things they say- or rather sing- can make a patient want to run in terror. And believe me...it happens.


1."Oops, I did it again..."

-Brittney Spears Oops!...I Did it Again

I'm not sure what would scare me more. The "oops" part or the "I did it again."


2."Shot in the heart, and you're to blame!"

-Bon Jovi "You Give Love a Bad Name"

Believe it or not, there is a story of a doctor who sang this particular song the whole way to the hospital while taking care of a man who was *literally* shot in the heart.


3."You got me doing things I've never done before"

-Paralyzed by Corbin Bleu

Let's be honest. You want the doctor to have done the procedure a million times before they get to you. There's nothing worse than when a doctor becomes visibly excited because they get to try something new.


4. "So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you,
And I'm gonna hold you like I'm saying goodbye..."

-Meghan Trainor - Like I'm Gonna Lose You Lyrics | MetroLyrics

No patient wants to hear their doctor- or anyone- say "goodbye" unless they're leaving the building- NOT going in for surgery.


5. "Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake.
I shake it off, I shake it off"

Shake it Off by Taylor Swift

I don't care what the cure is. It should never have the word "shake" in it.


6. "Say live and let die..."

Live and Let Die by Paul McCartney

Do I really need to say more?


7. "Oh, my Lord, I have never seen this before."

Oh My Lord by Buckcherry

This gets more and more terrifying the older the doctor is and the longer he or she has been in the profession. Heck, it's scary no matter who says it.


8. "So light 'em up, up, up.Light 'em up, up, up."

- My Song Knows What You've Done in the Dark-Fall Out Boy

According to "House," this is a real possibility.


9. "And you haven't got a clue.Somehow I'll make a man out of you."

I'll Make a Man Out of You by Danny Osmond (from Disney's Mulan)

Just no. NO.


10. "Womanizer, womanizer, Womanizer"

Womanizer by Britney Spears

I couldn't forget the men...

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
