I would have to agree that a gift to your therapist is a bad idea. You really don’t want to do anything to blur that line of professionalism. However, I really like the theme of this mix anyway, so I’d like to add: _Crazy (A Suitable Case For Treatment)_ - Nazareth, from the _Heavy Metal_ soundtrack. ---

Speaking of cant believe no one’s mentioned it: “Crazy”, by Pink Floyd. Of course, one could mention literally half of their tracks from their Big 4. (DSOTM thru the Wall.) ---

Does he like dance music? _Insanity_ by Oceanic was a rave classic from 1991. ---

If you really do it, I think you should include “Busted” by Matchbox20 then get all offended when s/he asks what it’s about. 😛 ---

Another vote for “don’t actually give this to your shrink,” but I love song lists, so: “Crazy” – Pylon. Better known as it was covered by R.E.M. (This is a different song from other songs with the same title by Patsy Cline, etc.) “Yo-Yo” by Pylon is also good for the mix. “Lithium” and “Tourette’s” – Nirvana “Too Much Paranoias” and “Uncontrollable Urge” – Devo Slightly off-topic: “She Cracked” and “Hospital” by The Modern Lovers (narrator sings of suicidal girlfriend.) Similarly, “The Drugs Don’t Work” by The Verve. If you want to scare your therapist, use “Help Me Somebody” and “The Jezebel Spirit” by David Byrne and Brian Eno… ---

I don’t think that I’ve seen: “Mama He’s Crazy” by the Judds. ---

> [@saramamalana](#): > > “Doctor Worm” - They Might Be Giants “Doctor Worm” isn’t about insanity. It’s about an aspiring musician, and the stage name he hopes to use someday is “Dr. Worm”. As for my suggestion: “Unwell” by Matchbox 20. ---
