Shakin all over (got parkinsons)
One step to heaven
I heard it through the hearing aid
Papa's got a brand new colostomy bag
A paler shade of white
I don't get around
Sitting Jack Flash
Oh wrinkly woman
The tracks of my last few drops
Nights in red flannel
Heart full of electronics
Blowin' out the wind
Will you still wash me tomorrow
Mild thing
The bed it needs a changin'
Hobble around Sue
I can't see for miles
Rhumey eyed girl
Nappy together
While my leg ulcer gently weeps
We gotta get outta this chair (if it's the last thing we ever do)
Up tight (the bandage is alright)
Chapel of rest
Street crossing man

Holy Shit....tell us which hospital you're in...we'll do an rescue!!!!!

Morsie (I'm VERY worried about you!)

Those are great! My favorite: Nights In Red Flannel!

(Doc) Breath deep
The gathering gloom
Nurse lights flicker
From every room
Bedpan people
Look back and lament
Another day's waste of
Energy spent.

Good list!

Don't worry Morse old mate it's late here - some ideas just have the effect of making my mind race

Bureau - I liked red flannel too maybe we should write the lyrics to that

Nights in red flannel
Never reaching the end
Can't pick up my dentures
Cos I cannot bend

next verse anyone?

Hearing my bones creak, I try once again
Old injuries flare up, I cannot pretend

That I'm aging, yes I'm aging, Oh, how I'm aging


Next?

Right on the money Charpa! Someone get us organised and we'll do series in the mag!

All contributions welcome - maybe we should have our own starlet to sing it- GaGa (Old) Lady for instance? Her signature gimmick could make a new fashion fad - clothes fashioned from various surgical appliances. And who sings provokatively from her wheel chair with her legs wide open shamelessly exposing the gussett of her support hose and who hs two muscular nursing assistants to push her.

Just say the word. There's plenty more where that came from. I think we could have something here. Boomers are a major market you know.

...especially if you happen to be in the organ donor business...

This Olde Morse

I'll offer some writing talent but never my organs...my estate would be sued for manslaughter.

Well, Lynton, I ran with this. I just posted a parody in the Mag Section. I came up with "Old Lady Gaga Hit Parade" and added a tag "Old Lady Gaga", so anyone who wants to contribute can add songs under that.

I figure with "Old Lady Gaga Hit Parade:" they can just add their song title and we'll be able to find them easily.

Waiting for more if anyone has the time. New year, new challenges. Hope I'm not the only one who thinks this sort of thing is fun...

Thanks Bureau for the starting thread and Lynton for the subsequent parody idea.

Go ahead and write a Weird Al parody of the Bedpans They are a Changin', Charpa. That was my personal favorite.

"Come nurses and aides throughout the land
and don't criticize the pan in your hand....."

-Bureau

Like it Charpa and Loved the picture - we'll keep that any other takers for the next song?

You know me and a challenge. I may just have to "jump on" this one.

ha ha

Don't know why I take the time...but I do.
Just put another one up in the Mag section. This time, it is a re-write of the Kinks' hit: "Apeman"

I call it "Aged Man"

Best if you listen a bit to the video before reading my prose as this was not at all a simple song to re-write. But it does work quite well when you get the hang of it.

What I'm trying to say is...anyone else going to give it a go? I get enough of these and I'm going down to the local senior citizen's home, and start shooting some video.

Charpa

On a similar track to before

Nights taking statins

Could be a second verse, never know.

I got a brand new pair of underpants (the others were staiined with pee)

How many days a week

here's one a bit older from Bob Hope

Thans for the er....umm....


I'm really going out of my head

Try to remember the kind of er.... um...

and specially to play them all

Radio gaga

What'd I say

Baby baby where did my mug go

I can't help myself

Ramblin man

and from the seventies

Maggi can't (nor can Rod Stewart)
Don't fear the reaper (anymore)(they are now Grey Oyster Cult)
I've ricked my back (Jackson5)
Peeing in a bottle (Police)
Stayin' alive (just - BG's)
Lay there (dereck and the dominos)

I wanna know what love was

How could you believe me when I said I loved you and you know you've been a liar all my life

My day

That's just the way it was (before I forgot)

Pretty Vacant (just not pretty)

It's Over (I think, therefore I should be)

Have I Told You Lately That I Love You? (I tell you every day, I think.)

Do The Bus Stop (You never know where that will take you. Usually Birmingham Digbeth and Chorlton Street tend to register.)

The Show Must Go On (We need a new showman)
