Sunday morning music

 

And now for something completely different . . .

As regular readers will know, I underwent a surgical procedure on my kidney earlier this week.  Progress appears OK so far.  At any rate, on a whim, I went to YouTube and searched for "kidney music".  To my utter astonishment, there's quite a lot of it!  Here are four kidney songs, in no particular order.

First, here's comedian Tim Hawkins with "One Is The Loneliest Kidney", sung in honor of his friend Mark Hall, who had just lost a kidney to cancer.




Next, from the satirical TV series 30 Rock, here's "Kidney Now".




For jazz fans, back in 1947 Eddie Vinson wrote "Old Kidney Stew".  Here it's performed by the George Van Wagner Blues Band.




And for country music aficionados, here's Billy Ray Osborne with "You Ain't Nothin' But A Kidney Stone".




After hearing those, I'm going to have to make a steak and kidney pie, just for nostalgia's sake!

  3. Well, I'm glad you didn't search for songs on the theme of ureters! Or maybe in poetry... an ode to the humble nephron...

  4. I think it was George Carlin who wrote this song:

    I sent my sinuses to Arizona
    I sent my liver to Peru
    I sent my lungs and my kidney
    for the Summer to Sydney
    But I'm sending my heart to you...

  5. I spoke to Old NFO. Business may take me to your neck of the woods. When I go out to eat, I'll avoid ordering the steak and kidney pie.
