Then I realized every song is about insulin pumps and dead pancreas

First off, what's the plural form of pancreas? As I wrote the title of this post I stopped and thought pancreases, pancreas's, pancreasues..........I have no idea. If you held a gun to my pancreas and told me to guess or you're going to shoot, I would say shoot it, it doesn't work anyways. and then I would say that I would have to guess its pancreases.


But do you know what I have realized during the past 2.5 months of diabetesliciousness, every song is either 1) about type 1 diabetes of 2) can be made to sound even better when it's diabetes related.

Don't believe me. I'll prove it.

Song 1 - Over You by Miranda Lambert

For the country music loving diabetic. Listen to the chorus. It's so obvious.

bold=Courtney's perception

But you went away (Pancreas died)
How dare you?       (Excuse me, your a vital organ, kinda need you to be a little more responsible)
I miss you               (I don't like you much right now pancreas, but I do miss you)

They say I'll be ok   (The doctor's)
But I'm not going to  (No no no it's not ok, it's not ok to this broken hearted girl Mr. Doctor)
Ever get over you      (I will never get over what my pancreas did)

Enjoy it for yourself.




Want more proof?

Song 2- Have you heard that awful song by Toby Keith called "Red Solo Cup." It's the most ridiculous song in the world to listen to, mostly because Toby is pulling a Madonna and acting like he's young, wild and free. Toby you are not young, wild or free. You're a grown man. Put down the solo cup and pick up a pilsner glass. That song would sound a lot better to my ears if the words were changed a little bit......

Insulin pump
I fill you up
Let's have some cheesecake and other carbohydrates
I love you insulin pump
I hook you up
Let's have some french fries and other carbohydrates

Here's the original not as good as Courtney's version. Sing my lyrics with the chorus, it goes perfectly.

Start at 33 seconds in.







Song 3- and your final example is a little song called "Pour Some Sugar on Me" by Def Leppard. Yes, yes metal fans. This song is actually about having extremely low blood sugar and begging someone to just give you some sugar, just give it too me, I don't care how you give it to me, why don't you just pour some sugar on me. Pour some sugar on me in the name of love. Please.

That's very obvious.





I should really be doing homework right now..............................................
