I don’t know about you, but this time of year brings new meaning to the term “cold season.” In my house something’s been going around that fills our lungs and nasal passages with what feels like rubber cement. We can’t even get a satisfying nose blow out of this cold. In honor of the power of all the stuff flying around and getting folks sick, let’s do a Last Man Standing on sick songs. To qualify, the song title must contain the word sick or otherwise specify a physical illness. Songs of mental illness that do not have sick in the title will not be accepted. I’ll kick things off with one of my favorite childhood singles, Huey “Piano” Smith’s “Rockin’ Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu,” performed today by Jerry Lee Lewis.
