1. Ramones - I wanna Be Sedated - For huskies...oh, god, huskies.....and seizure patients. Oh, and this one very huge English Mastiff that
2. Survivor - Eye of the Tiger - sang this to any coworker that was having a difficult time with a client, patient, or doctor.
3. Dr Sheldon Cooper - Soft Kitty - when petting feline patients until they fall asleep
4. Peter Wolf - Lights Out - every time Dr Dre would prepare for an endoscopy. She's a card.
5. John Denver - Sunshine (on my shoulder) - when I was feeling in the mood to snuggle a critter that was feeling particularly bad. Like a feline hepatic lipidosis case. (also, a
coworker would sing this but replace 'shoulder' with 'catheter' when she gave Acepromazine IV)
6. Mary Poppins - Spoonful of Sugar - when giving pets medications, especially bitter stuff.
7. Justin Timberlake - Cry Me A River - when a patient was being just the biggest douche and I got done what needed to be done....
8. Bette Midler - Wind Beneath My Wings - just because it has a soothing and uplifting melody
9. Edwin Starr - War - except I would sing, 'Ace! Huh! Good god y'all! What is it good for? Absolutely everything....say it again now!'
10. Hush Little Baby - for those little dogs and cats that are just so upset that they need a little soothing. More than one critter fell asleep to this song, including my children.
11. LL Cool J - Mamma Said Knock You Out - a coworker sings this when she is inducing anesthesia to her surgical patients.

**side note, if a patient has a name from a song, someone was always singing that song. And there are many songs with Lola in them, but they aren't as catchy as Copacabana**
13. Rebecca Black - Friday - my coworkers told me they sing this sometimes, and I can see why....
I also have a dental assistant friend who sings 'Fillings....nothing more than fillings....' what a silly girl. :)
What do you sing in your clinic?
