Theme music

[LegzRN]

If you could choose a song that would play when you entered your facility, what would it be?

Mine?

A few themes from us midnighters in the ED:

Perfect for those hot summer nights when you pull up the hospital driveway, see half a dozen ambulances in the bay. Off in the distance you can hear the wail of sirens, and you just know it's going to be a rip-roaring shift...

"Feel it comin' in the air, hear the screams from everywhere

I'm addicted to the thrill, it's a dangerous love affair

Can't be scared when it goes down; got a problem, tell me now

Only thing that's on my mind, is who's gonna run this town tonight

--We are, yeah I said it, we are..."

Whether or not you imagine the scene from Kill Bill that goes with it (we'd rather not - we see enough trauma without making more for ourselves), it's still an awesome entrance theme.

The chorus perfectly sums up a night in Triage... or Minor Care... or really anywhere in the Department...

"Everybody open your mouth, everybody just say Ah

Everything will be all right, this won't hurt at all

Everybody get in line, everybody turn and cough

Everything will be all right if you'd just lay off!"

My favorite "exit theme" piece. Okay, so this one's more or less regional for us (and I'm sure a few people from a certain state south-southeast of here will roundly hate it ), but it's great, uplifting, I-just-saved-a-life music.

Welcome to the Jungle...for realz.

Welcome to the jungle, we got fun 'n' games

We got everything you want, honey we know the names

We are the people that you find, whatever you may need

If you got the money, honey we got your disease

For a bad night

Lynyrd Skynyrd - That Smell.

[nerdtonurse?, BSN, RN]

Easy....when a doc at my old facility was on for the night, we knew it was gonna be "Another one bites the dust" by Queen

When the 'bangers come to the ER..."Beat It" by MJ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Xy2HzYra_s&feature=fvwrel

But most of the time it's this one "It's the End of the World as We Know It" the lyrics are just right there....

I work in L&D :thankya:

[ErinS, BSN, RN]

For the terrible things my patients are going through, for the days when the medicine does not keep the pain away, for the day when I come and tell them there are only days left, for the children dying every day, for the tragedies their families are facing, this song:

(Airplanes, BOB)

And for the days when my air conditioning in my car just won't get hot enough, or every one of my patients is cranky, for the days when I get pulled over on the way to work, and for the days I snap at the wonderful doctors I work with, this song:

(Float on, Modest Mouse)

[ksc0723]

The theme from "Shaft". A little bow chic a bow wowww and hearing that electric guitar with the effects pedal. Awesome. Now I just need a huge afro wig and some platforms.........

Europe, "The Final Countdown"

[tokmom, BSN, RN]

I know which resident will sing along with me, another who would give me a look like I have 8 heads and I know which co-worker would start throwing charts at me. lol

Yep, one HUC will be breaking out in song right along with me, everyone else will tell me to shut up. Just the reaction I want.
