The Lyrics
This is my first attempt to participate in a Decathlon song contest. I’ve chosen cardiovascular problems due to the fact that it runs in our family and the fact that my mom is a nurse at the Cardiology Unit.
It had all started
When you ate at Mickey D’s
Smoking on cigarettes
Totaling packs of three
Don’t notice till
You clutch your chest
Start feeling strange
As you sit to rest
That’s when you take grave notice
Chest pains deep inside
Symptoms will rise
You’ll realize those warning signs
You call 9-1-1
Ambulance comes
Transporting you
Straight to the ER
Pain in your heart
You’ve caused a strain in your heart
That’s when the problems will start
When you get admitted overnight
Blood pressures rise
Those doctors tell you no lies
They put you on life support
Then they will hook you up to the IV
(Pressured by strains in your heart)
Testing heart waves and intervals
By EKG
Then they’ll have to perform
You with angioplasty
Don’t second-guess
Your cardio plight
Discovered that
Something is not right
Clog in your heart
They found a clog in your heart
Fatty deposits won’t part
You’ll have that open-heart surgery
Dissect your chest
Connected veins from your legs
To treat that clog in your heart
Hoping blood vessels flowing quite freely
(They’ll flow for you)
You’re heart knows what’s good for you
(Good for you)
Let your heart recuperate
(Recover through)
Time will heal all wounds
Pharmacists prescribing you with Lipitor
Medicine by Pfizer lowers cholesterol
Be careful not to strain yourself
Don’t put more stress
To your chest and your heart
Good to your heart
You must be good to your heart
Hospital room you’ll depart
Then soon you’re heading straight right home
A great surprise
You’ll soon get better on time
So go take care of your heart
And forever you’re gonna feel healthy
(Repeat)
You’re diet should be fat free
It’s time to make a new start
Keep on eating those veggies
Just be good to your heart
Stay away from fatty foods
And foods that’s laced with salt
Just keep on eating healthy
Take good care of your heart
When you ate at Mickey D’s
Smoking on cigarettes
Totaling packs of three
Don’t notice till
You clutch your chest
Start feeling strange
As you sit to rest
That’s when you take grave notice
Chest pains deep inside
Symptoms will rise
You’ll realize those warning signs
You call 9-1-1
Ambulance comes
Transporting you
Straight to the ER
Pain in your heart
You’ve caused a strain in your heart

Testing heart waves and intervals

Don’t second-guess

Sorry I didn't have time to check it over. It was kind of a last minute thing.

Never mind 911, you've got 555 here!
Calling 411 of thanks to you, Mark! :)....The first line came from the fact that this customer actually had a heart attack at a McDonald's when I ate with a friend!
(Decathlon) Great job here, and heart attacks, smoking and medical procedures are all both funny and unfunny at the same time. Great attention to detail, and excellent overall. 5s.
A very serious parody here but well done and a message for many of us.
Clever idea and a great parody which might not have been hilarious but extremely catchy and fun (which is strange to say about a heart attack)
Thanks to Andria, Timmy 1K, and Matthias! :)
Andria: The smoking and poor diet caused my dad's heart attack. However, I wished that I added more medical terminology to this parody.
Timmy 1K: Exactly what it should be! My mom's a nurse so she tries to control our diet and warn us about the risks of heart disease.
Matthias: Thanks, I wished that I could've had time to work on this a lot more. Also, I really couldn't find myself to mock people with heart problems due to the fact that I lost both of my fave uncles from those heart attacks and my dad kept getting sent to the hospital for it.

Couldn't vote, as I don't know OS... but it sounds like good advice... right from the "heart"! :)
Thanks, Fiddlegirl! :)...Sorry I didn't put the link to the OS. I was thinking that everybody would know this song. But I also thank you for your comment...with all my "heart"!
I couldn't get mine up today, but I'll try for tomorrow or the next day. Good work on this, and 555.
Thanks, DJ Blaze! :)...Too bad I didn't see yours today. But, I look forward to it for tomorrow or next day. Glad you enjoyed it!
Well done...good to highlight this serious health condition...been there, done that..not a lot of fun...but needs attention given to it
Thanks, AFW! :)...I can relate to this situation (though I'm not the one having that condition...yet) due to the fact that my dad gets sent to the hospital for the umpteenth time. My cousin got sent recently for open heart surgery. Glad you enjoyed. I concur that it's not a lot of fun plus it's a serious condition that's very life-threatening. My aunt had to lose weight due to the fact that she's obese, which gave her serious heart attack and stroke.
Rule #1: There is *no* song that's known by *everybody* -- trust me! :-)
Lipitor™ and the others in its class have damaging side effects, sometimes fatal, and haven't been shown to reduce the actual mortality rate (death from heart disease). Nor to lower cholesterol better than rice bran or a high-fiber, more healthful diet. Consult your physician before taking medical advice from parody posts, and remember that said physician is being paid by the drug companies to prescribe their drugs.
Excellent warning -- they should put this parody on cigarette packages and junk-food restaurants. 555 -- TT.

Good parody for advice for being healthy. 5's
Thanks, Angie O'Plasty (TT) and Phil Nelson! :)
Angie (TT) - Thanks for the info! And if you think that Lipitor is bad with damaging side effects with some fatal consequences, you should check out this parody: http://www.amiright.com/parody/90s/beautyandthebeast16.shtml! That's even more serious than Lipitor! I also meant this parody to be more of a message to people to avoid heart attacks, since I have a nurse for a mom. As for junk-food restaurants, I get it: snack bar (selling fast food burgers and fries). Anything that gives out potato chips, Doritos, cookies and french fries are considered as junk food restaurants. You could consider Quiznos, Subway (or other sub/deli places), BK, Arby's and Mickey D's as junk-food restaurants.
Phil - Exactly what it should be! Our mom always watches our diets and advises us to exercise! We all should watch what we eat also to decrease mortality and obesity rates.

wow i clenched my chest when i laughed at this so hard.
Thanks, Chance! :)...Glad you enjoyed my chest clenching parody!
Nice job! Never a big fan of the original, but good job spoofing it!
Thanks, Abbott! :)...Glad you enjoyed! Yeah, not everyone's a fan of this OS. As I've mentioned before, this parody was written at the last minute.
Not super funny, but an excellent write...and good advice! =)
Thanks, Arwen! :)...Truth is, I really couldn't bring myself to mock people with heart problems because my dad and the rest of my family members suffered from it, plus I lost both my uncles to massive heart attacks. I also wrote this at the last minute. Yeah, this parody is intended to give good advice, but glad you enjoyed nevertheless! See you soon!
(Dec3) Jeez, I don't think there's anything I can say after everyone else's great responses, but I think that Arwen summed it up the best. 555 for taking on such a touchy subject and not coming across as callous.
Thanks, bobpie (T-COP)! :)...In a way, I feel I did take that subject matter too seriously. Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for v/c. Hope to see more of you soon!
