SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

The Song Challenge:   He's A Long, Tall Surgeon -- (Indianapolis, IN) A spokesperson for the MidWest Medical Center announced today that the hospital would remove all spittoons from its surgical intensive care unit, following complaints by patients. "This has all been a colossal misunderstanding, and we want to put it behind us", said hospital spokesman Henry O'Toole. According to O'Toole, the 19th century-style saliva receptacles had been placed in the intensive care unit by Dr. Nick Testa, a staff surgeon. Anonymous sources within the hospital described Dr. Testa's reputation as a surgical "cowboy", a part he had increasingly tried to play to the maximum. "First people were just referring to him as a 'cowboy' because he basically took anyone to the OR, no matter what their problem was", said the source. "Then about five years ago, he started wearing hand-tooled cowboy boots...OK, lots of surgeons do that." Apparently several staff were upset when Dr. Testa tried last month to operate on a patient wearing a Lone Ranger style mask, after earlier wearing a bandana pulled up over his handlebar moustache, instead of a standard surgical mask. "He was just yelling: 'This IS my mask, this IS my mask', when they tried to get him out of the OR", according to Sally Stevens, a MidWestern scrub nurse. Many staff members regarded as amusing Testa's practice of carrying his stethoscope in a holster, drawing it with a rapid motion when he intended to examine a patient. However, when Testa brought three large brass spittoons into the surgical intensive care unit, patients and their families began to complain. Testa's habit of chewing tobacco and spitting towards the spittoons reportedly became increasingly disruptive to intensive care unit staff, who frequently had to change intravenous lines and dressings when Testa missed his mark. According to O'Toole, Dr. Testa is currently on vacation in Montana, and so is unavailable for comment.


I'm A Surgeon and I'm OK by sorry, Monty Python

I never wanted to do this job in the first place!
I... I wanted to be... A Surgeon (piano vamp)
Running from bed to bed! As we go on our morning rounds in the hospitals of Indianna. With the staff nurse by my side. The Gallstone, The Traciotemy, The Mighty Heart Transplant, The Hangnail and The Sex change operation. We'd sing! Sing! SING!

Oh I'm a Surgeon and I'm ok.
I work all night and I work all day

Chorus:
He's a Surgeon and He's ok.
He works all night and he works all day
I prep patients, I eat my lunch and I do surgery,
I wear's my boots while cutting,
and Quick draw when you shout three.

He preps patients, He eat his lunch and he does surgery,
He wear's his boots while cutting,
and Quick draws when you shout three

Chorus:
He's a Surgeon and He's ok.
He works all night and he works all day
I prep patients, I struts me stuff, I like to play quick draw,
I put on cowboy clothing,
and scrub for surgery.

He preps patients, He struts his stuff, He likes to play quick draw,
He put on cowboy clothing,
and scrubs for surgery.?

Chorus:
He's a Surgeon and He's ok.
He works all night and he works all day
I prep patients, I wear a mask, bandanna and a gun,
I spit when I am cutting
just like my dear papa.

He preps patients, He wears a mask, bandanna and a gun.
He spits when he is cutting??
