Songs About Sickness... Music For What Ails You

Not to be morbid here, but a while back, after a little bout with the virus that's been floating around the planet, I got to thinking about songs about illness or anything related, like doctors, medication, and so on. So just for "fun", off the top of my head, I came up with a bunch of ill tunes. Yup, sick of it all.

Some of the songs are not specifically about physical illness, but are related to the seemingly feverish state of love, or of other things that fog the brain and weaken the body. So here's my modest list of sick songs... take two and call me in the morning:

Love is the Drug, Roxy Music

Catscratch Fever, Ted Nugent

Boogie Fever, The Sylvers

Saturday Night Fever & Stayin' Alive, BeeGees

Sick as a Dog, Aerosmith

Fever & Burning Up, Kylie Minogue

Bad Medicine, Bon Jovi

Calling Doctor Love, Kiss

Somebody Get Me a Doctor, Van Halen

Hot Blooded, Foreigner

Sick Again, Led Zeppelin

Fever, Peggy Lee

Bad Case of Loving You (Doctor Doctor), Robert Palmer

Medication, Garbage

Lithium, Nirvana

Industrial Disease, Dire Straits

Spreading the Disease, Queensryche

I Want a New Drug, Huey Lewis & the News

Dr. Feelgood, Motley Crue

Poison Was the Cure, Megadeth


Get well soon!
