This is how awesome I am

Ike and I were listening to bunches of Weird Al songs on iTunes tonight. For the record, nine year boys think the Complicated parody about being constipated is the greatest song ever written... ;-)

Anyhow, while we were perusing through the 258 options (seriously!! 258!!!) available, I stumbled across a song about me. Yes, it's true. I am so awesome that there is a song in my honor.

I can't find a lyrics site that isn't filled with pop-ups and annoying crap or link to the complete song, but here's a snippet of it for you. Without further ado, a song about me!

Okay, so it's about my job. Not everyone gets to spend their time being a replacement for a random organ belonging to someone else. I'm just lucky that way :)

And, for those of you that are thinking, "Gee, I wish I could read all of the lyrics because they must be amazing!" I offer you this...
Oooh oooh oooh ee-oooh oooh oooh
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh-oooh oooh
Oooooh

I'm always thinkin' 'bout it
I don't know what I'd do without it
I love, I really love
My pancreas

My spleen just doesn't matter
Don't really care about my bladder
But I don't leave home without
My pancreas

My pancreas is always
There for me
Ahh-oooh

Secreting those enzymes (bap bap bap)
Secreting those hormones too
Metabolizing carbohydrates
Just for me

Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba-ba ba ba
My pancreas
Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba-ba ba
My pancreas
Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba-ba ba ba
My pancreas
Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba-ba ba
My pancreas

Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba-ba ba ba
My pancreas
Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba-ba ba
My pancreas
Ooooooh

My pancreas attracts every other
Pancreas in the universe
With a force proportional
To the product of their masses
And inversely proportional
To the distance between them

Woo woo woo woo

Don'tcha you know you gotta
Flow, flow, flow, pancreatic juice
Flow, flow, into the duodenum

Won'tcha
Flow, flow, flow, pancreatic juice
Flow, flow, into the duodenum

Insulin, glucagon

(Won'tcha flow, flow, flow, pancreatic juice)
Comin' from the islets of Langerhans...
(Flow flow, into the duodenum)

Insulin, glucagon
(Won'tcha flow flow flow, pancreatic juice)
Comin' from the islets of Langerhans...
(Flow flow, into the duodenum)

Lipase, amylase, and tripsin
[Insulin, glucagon]
(Won'tcha flow, flow flow, pancreatic juice)
They gonna help with our digestion
[Comin' from the islets of Langerhans...]
(Flow flow, into the duodenium)

Lipase, amylase, and tripsin
[Insulin, glucagon]
(Won'tcha flow flow flow, pancreatic juice)
They gonna help with our digestion
[Comin' from the islets of Langerhans...]
(Flow flow, into the duodenum)

Can't you see I love my pancreas
{Lipase, amylase, and tripsin}
[Insulin, glucagon]
(Won'tcha flow flow flow, pancreatic juice)
Golly-gee I love my pancreas
{They gonna help with our digestion}
[Comin' from the islets of Langerhans...]
(Flow flow, into the duodenum)

Can't you see I love my pancreas
{Lipase, amylase, and tripsin}
[Insulin, glucagon]
(Won'tcha flow flow flow, pancreatic juice)
Golly-gee I love my pancreas
{They gonna help with our digestion}
[Comin' from the islets of Langerhans...]
(Flow flow, into the duodenum)

Can't you see I love my pancreas
{Lipase, amylase, and tripsin}
[Insulin, glucagon]
(Won'tcha flow flow flow, pancreatic juice)
Golly-gee I love my pancreas
{They gonna help with our digestion}
[Comin' from the islets of Langerhans...]
(Flow flow, into the duodenum)

Can't you see I love my pancreas?


Try not to be jealous, everyone. I know it's a sweet life.

what an honor! (and what a song chock-full of information--I'm thinking we might have to study this song and figure out what the lyrics all mean when we are doing our systems of the human body unit!)

Trapped in the Drive Thru is still my favorite Weird Al song--but White and Nerdy is a close second. And there are lots more close thirds. ; )
