Basically part 2 to this thread.
Graduating nursing school soon (woo!!) and have been tasked with putting a slide-show type video together showcasing the program from start to finish. We have mostly free reign on what songs are played, with the caveat that they can’t have profanity.
Not sure yet what the run time is going to turn into, but I’m struggling more than expected to find a good variety of songs with some kind of medical significance (seems the vast majority songs with medical elements are just metaphors for some dude who wants to do drugs or fuck a nurse/doctor).
So, medicine aside (or included if you know a good one) what are some good songs that are otherwise relatable to what healthcare often boils down to: somehow thriving within a chaotic shitshow.
Accepting suggestions in all genres - once I get a good number of possibilities lined up, I’ll let my classmates vote on which ones they want included.
Thank you all!
Under Pressure - Queen ft. David Bowie
I’m drawing a blank on songs with medical lyrics, except for Weird Al Yankovic - Like A Surgeon. While it has medical lyrics, it is not suitable for a celebration. Though… maybe you could find a desire and a way to use it.
As for songs that make you feel like you have or will thrive in a chaotic environment, I came up with the following:
A hype one
These aren’t particularly medical but they’re easy to connect to emotionally. The first one definitely feels like surviving a professional environment
When the World is Running Down - The Police
System of a Down - CUBErt (Clean Version)

Can prolly get away with the sexy version.WE BUTTER THE BREAD WITH BUTTER - Dreh Auf!

Electric Callboy - WE GOT THE MOVES

Electric Wizard - Return Trip

CAUTION! HEAVY! Lift with your legsWhere’s your head at? by Basement Jaxx
This Too Shall Pass by OK Go. I listened to this song religiously every day on my way to clinicals in my final year of nursing school.
A couple more songs as I run through my Spotify:
Times Like These - Foo Fighters
Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger - Daft Punk
I dunno about thriving but Psyopus - Insects definitely nails the chaotic shitshow…
Grandmaster Flash, “The Message” (though that’s more about keeping your head just about above water)
The War On Drugs - Under The Pressure
This version is smooth.
Helter Skelter?
