Funny Song About Aches and Pain and Knees
Thanks David Letterman for coming upward with the Acme Ten Listing. Here's my latest entry (in parentheses are the performers I acquaintance with the songs; they may non be the composers):
10. "A Whiter Shade of Pale" (Procol Harum)
I still don't know what Procol Harum is referring to in the title of this song, but any it is, I see it on my face in the mirror.
9. "If Walls Could Talk" (Koko Taylor)

Many years ago, I had the unforgettable experience of seeing the great blues vocalist Koko Taylor perform this vocal in a small-scale cabaret. Now, whenever someone says to me, "But you don't wait sick," I imagine that the penalization is that he or she must listen to my walls talk about what life is like inside my house: the "stun gun" country (equally I call information technology in How to Be Ill), when information technology's hard for me to do anything but stare at the ceiling; the hours lying in bed, unable to go to sleep because of symptom overload; and the way I feel afterward I become habitation from the very outing where this ignorant only well-significant person told me that I didn't await ill. Ah, yep. If walls could talk.
8. "Heartbreak Hotel" (Elvis)
The kickoff few years afterward becoming chronically ill—which includes chronic pain—I spent many a night in the Heartbreak Hotel, paying the beak with anger and self-recrimination. All this accomplished was to clinch that my stay would be extended for another night. Then I realized it wasn't my fault that I was ill and in hurting—it could happen to anyone. That was the day I checked out of the Heartbreak Hotel, although I however spend the nighttime there at present and over again when I take to miss something that's really special to me.
7. "Brawl and Concatenation" (Janis Joplin)

In 1967, as I watched Janis mesmerize all of us at the Monterey Pop Festival with her heartbreaking rendition of this Big Mama Thornton tune, I had no thought that chronic affliction would become my ball and concatenation. It dictates what I can practice, where I can get, how long I can stay, when I sit, when I lie down. On a very bad day, that brawl and chain can make me experience as if…
half-dozen. "I Got Plenty O' Nuttin'" (George Gershwin and DuBose Heyward, Porgy and Bess )
Aye, chronic illness can brand me feel as if I got plenty o' nuttin.' I felt that manner for many years straight. Then I discovered that I still had plenty o' sumtin.' I began to find information technology when I started treating this illness and the limitations information technology imposes on me equally my starting points in life. "Start where you are," as Buddhist instructor Pema Chödrön so wisely said.
5. "I Walk the Line" (Johnny Greenbacks)
Source: Wikimedia Commons
Per the urban dictionary, "walk the line" ways "to maintain a fragile residual between one farthermost and another." Information technology feels as if I spend my life walking the line now. And that balance is extremely fragile, considering I have near no margin for error. People who are salubrious can button their limits—go to an extreme—and the most they'll experience is a bit tired the next day. If I push button my limits, it takes me days to recover.
Even the phrase "push the limits" has a different meaning for the good for you and for the chronically sick. For the healthy, it tin can mean staying out all dark. For me, it tin hateful staying out an hour longer than I can handle.
four. "Rain Drops Keep Fallin' on My Head" (B.J. Thomas)
If I could string together a few days in a row when I'd do nothing but rest, it might alleviate my symptoms a scrap or, at least, not exacerbate them. Just every time I think I've planned things then that I tin exercise this, life intervenes. The final time I thought I'd be able to residue uninterrupted for a few days, the water heater bankrupt and I found myself hosting the plumber for an hr outside the house, side by side to the "cupboard" that houses the water heater. With no place for me to sit down, I stood in that location while he explained in particular all the piece of work they'd accept to exercise to get the new one installed properly.
- Dealing with Chronic Pain
- Find a therapist to assistance with chronic pain
And why exercise business firm maintenance emergencies e'er ascend when my husband is out of town? Oh that's right: and then that rain drops tin continue fallin' on my head!
3. "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" (Gladys Knight and the Pips, Marvin Gaye)
Darned right I heard it through the grapevine, considering I sure as heck am unlikely to hear it in person, bars as I am, to my house most of the time.
2. "You Can't Always Get What Y'all Want" (The Stones)
Good for you or not, everyone learns this lesson. Information technology just feels as if it'south been hammered into the chronically sick a flake harshly.
And the Number 1 song title that captures chronic hurting and illness:
