Tribute to Eyedeas: New Drugs for Hep C (Rally Song)

[eureka254]

Remember Friday Night fight songs, anyone?  

I happened to hear this popular eighties song on the radio, and it struck me how PERFECT it was for the current situation facing heppers; Telaprevir and Boceprevir are anticipated eagerly, but we're still a long way from a 'better' cure, especially for those who can't tolerate Interferon or Ribavirin.  

The chant for a better cure:

"I want a new drug
One that won't make me sick
One that won' make me crash my car
Or make me feel three feet thick

I want a new drug
One that won't hurt my head
One that won't make my mouth too dry
Or make my eyes too red

One that won't make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you
When I'm alone with you (as in liver without virus!)

I want a new drug
One that won't spill
One that don't cost too much
Or come in a pill

I want a new drug
One that won't go away
One that won't keep me up all night
One that won't make me sleep all day

One that won't make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you
When I'm alone with you
I'm alone with you baby

I want a new drug
One that does what it should
One that won't make me feel too bad
One that won't make me feel too good

I want a new drug
One with no doubt
One that won't make me talk too much
Or make my face break out

One that won't make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you
When I'm alone with you"

Friday Night Fight Songs were the best!!!  One of my favs was "Don't Fear the Riba"

I love that this old Huey Lewis song needs no revisions.  

Here's one that needs a little tweek...but is really quite fitting:

I would belt this one out at the top of my lungs in the car...not a pretty sound/sight..but it helped me none the less.

GOOD job Eureka it made me remember those crazy days back when things like the Friday song were REALLY important to us.  Funny how things helped us get through isn't it?

I do remember the Friday Night fight songs! They were great! I particularly remember the love potion #9 one.

This one almost needs no modifications. I hope some talented person comes up with some lyrics. I am too sleepy right now to take a shot at it.
