Paste's Sick Songs About Health

Playlist

It all started with radio deejays smartly arranging their sets to tell a story, educate or maximize the music's impact. Later, it was picked up by legions of amateur cassette-dubbing artists who specially tailored mixes for their friends, boyfriend or girlfriends (or that one person for whom they so deeply pined). Now, in the age of iTunes, the Playlist is the new mixtape. Paste carries on a proud tradition with this new blog.

President Barack Obama's used a prime-time news conference recently to specifically call for a U.S. healthcare reform push, and it kept the interwebs buzzing with, well, some healthy debates. This talk isn't new by any means; for weeks, Obama's been tweeting up a storm about healthcare. Which got us thinking: There sure are a lot of (sick) songs about health, doctors, medicine and so. So while the debate continues, below are but a few healthcare-themed songs to keep you feeling robust and full of vigor. Feel free to leave your favorites in the comments.
