Drs Adam Kay and Suman Biswas (aka the
Amateur Transplants) have created a parody of
Tom Lehrer's comic song "The Elements"
changing the lyrics to drugs instead. "The
Elements" is in turn a parody of Gilbert &
Sullivan's "I Am The Very Model Of A Modern
Major-General" from "The Pirates of
Penzance", so this song has had quite some
going over! Anyway, The Drugs Song has no
official video so here's my attempt to bring
this brilliant song into the visual medium!
Enjoy!
If you enjoy this you may also like my videos
for "Finals Countdown" and "A Letter To The
Patient's GP Please, Angela".
P.S. Yes, I know Lithium is said twice; yes,
I know some of these are synonyms; yes, I
misspelled Pethidine. I should know better -
I've seen it!
I would also like to point out I do not
condone the use of recreational drugs. Please
do not post comments saying how wonderful
speed, etc. is. It's not; it ruins lives. ANY
COMMENTS CONDONING THE USE OF RECREATIONAL
DRUGS WILL BE DELETED.
Want to learn this song? The lyrics are
below! Adam and Suman have too much free time

There's aspirin, adrenaline and also

cyclophosphamide,
And metoclopramide, acetazolamide,
tropicamide
Loperamide, amiloride and cyclizine and

And if you're up the duff then you'd best
avoid thalidomide.
There's lithium, fluoxetine and also
amitriptyline,
Paroxetine, digoxin, GTN and azathioprine,
Miconazole, atenolol and also
chloramphenicol,
And if you want to overdose, there's always

Or fuck 'em all and get a job in orthopaedic
surgery.
