Lots of “medicine adjacent” songs to choose from by the Ramones, including Psycho Therapy, Gimme Shock Treatment, and Teenage Lobotomy.

I was trying to come up with something clever like "here's a song with a 'cover' lyric, covered by another artist!" but I didn't come up with anything that worked, so you get yet another Sisters of Mercy song 🙂

Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover

In went to an aggie campus when I was in undergrad. A couple of us felt that we needed an outlet for our more creative and artistic sides, so we started an open mic night: my friend Camille sang Redemption Song at one of the first events and kinda blew me away.
