Drs Adam Kay and Suman Biswas (aka the Amateur
Transplants) have created a parody of Tom Lehrer's
comic song "The Elements" changing the lyrics to
drugs instead. "The Elements" is in turn a parody
of Gilbert & Sullivan's "I Am The Very Model Of A
Modern Major-General" from "The Pirates of
Penzance", so this song has had quite some going
over! Anyway, The Drugs Song has no official video
so here's my attempt to bring this brilliant song
into the visual medium! Enjoy!
If you enjoy this you may also like my videos for
"Finals Countdown" and "A Letter To The Patient's
GP Please, Angela".
P.S. Yes, I know Lithium is said twice; yes, I
know some of these are synonyms; yes, I misspelled
Pethidine. I should know better - I've seen it!
I would also like to point out I do not condone
the use of recreational drugs. Please do not post
comments saying how wonderful speed, etc. is. It's
not; it ruins lives. ANY COMMENTS CONDONING THE
USE OF RECREATIONAL DRUGS WILL BE DELETED.
Want to learn this song? The lyrics are below!
Adam and Suman have too much free time for
doctors...
There's aspirin, adrenaline and also
aminophylline,
Amphetamine, adenosine, augmentin and rifampicin,
Amoxicillin, penicillin, heparin and warfarin,
And oestrogen, progestagen and Canesten and
chloroquine.
There's bendroflumethiazide and also
cyclophosphamide,
And metoclopramide, acetazolamide, tropicamide
Loperamide, amiloride and cyclizine and frusemide,
And if you're up the duff then you'd best avoid
thalidomide.
There's lithium, fluoxetine and also
amitriptyline,
Paroxetine, digoxin, GTN and azathioprine,
Miconazole, atenolol and also chloramphenicol,
And if you want to overdose, there's always
paracetamol.
There's Night Nurse and there's phenytoin, Zirtek
and diazepam
And lithium, temazepam, midazolam, clonazepam,
Testosterone, aldosterone, and Valium and insulin,
And lignocaine and Piriton and Ventolin and
Ritalin.
There's cefuroxime, cefotaxime, cefalexin,
cephedrine,
And metronidazole and ketoconazole, trimethoprim,
Erythromycin, gentamicin, macrolides, nifedipine,
And Actifed and Sudafed and Calpol with no sugar
in.
There's phenelzine and hyoscine, ranitidine,
cimetidine,
Potassium and calcium and ev'ry kind of vitamin,
And pethidine and methadone and speed, cocaine and
heroin,
And cannabis and Prozac, morphine, alcohol and
nicotine.
You must remember all these drugs, the names of
which you've learned from me,
Or fuck 'em all and get a job in orthopaedic
surgery.
