Music to slice moles by

Cafe Society
1

I’m getting some moles removed from my forehead and cheek next week and just went into the hospital this morning for the pre-op tests and consultation. The nurse gave me a form with some instructions on what to do on cutting day, and one of the items in the “what to bring” section included “a CD with music you like”. This is the first time I’ve been invited to make a soundtrack for a medical procedure, so I’m wondering what I should bring.

If I do bring anything, it will probably be some slow, gentle jazz. The doctor will be cutting into my face so I don’t want anything that will startle him or make me bob my head.

Still, I know you guys can think of some good music selections, both appropriate and inappropriate. Any ideas?

In the latter category, I was thinking perhaps the soundtrack to Scarface.

Bryan Adams Cuts Like a Knife?

3

Jimmy Eat World, or My Chemical Romance - something emo :stuck_out_tongue:

or Paul Young - Every Time You Go Away, You Take a Piece Of Me

Si

4

Mac the Knife?

5

Yeah, any of those three choices will do :stuck_out_tongue:

6

Queen - Another one bites the dust

7

The First Cut Is the Deepest

Hopefully not **Eyes Without a Face ** :eek:

How many moles? Could **Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad ** work?

8

John Cougar Mellencamp - Hurts So Good

okay, maybe not

9

Frank Sinatra, I’ve Got You Under My Skin

10

Elvis Presley’s “Stuck on You”
You know, of course, that you now can’t take any of these to the session lest you laugh at some point and ruin the procedure.

11

Peter Murphy - Cuts You Up.

12

True, true. In fact, I’m now in danger of cracking up just from thinking about this thread.

13

Well, if by some bizarre chance you are NOT looking for a joke answer, you could try Northern Song by Steve Tibbetts.

But that’s if you’re not looking for a joke answer.

14

Frank Sinatra, Polkadots and Moonbeams.

15

Stuck in the Middle with You - Stealers Wheel
Just keep the doc away from your ears. :smiley:

16

Anything by The Cutting Crew

or Weird Al - Like a Surgeon

And if your doctor is called Eugene, there is a Pink Floyd song you just have to play

I have had moles removed from my face. You won’t feel a thing apart from the local. And believe me, you won’t even twitch while they are cutting. And you will appreciate the music, and I would make it loudish - the sound of a scalpel cutting your skin has a quality similar to fingernails on a blackboard. Not as bad as the internal sizzle and pop of cauterised sinuses, or the creak of wrenched wisdom tooth root in your jaw, but pretty bad.

Si (who has heard too many unpleasant sounds from his own head)

17

I read “slice moles” and I think of garden pests being prepared for a recipe . . .

18

or “Holy Smoke” if they use laser

19

I’m glad I’m not the only one.
