This week centred around a planned trip to hospital where I underwent, oooh let's call it an internal examination.
The nature of it is such that patients are offered a sedative and or gas and air to help relax them while keeping them conscious and able to follow instructions. It was a first for me.
But at least I can relate that to the Ramones single I Wanna Be Sedated. It's largely about being bored in London while on tour in the Christmas period rather than being prepped for a medical procedure.
Originally released in 1978 on the Road to Ruin album and as a b-side in the UK I'm pretty sure my version is the 1980 re-release which accompanied the soundtrack to the film Times Square.
It's good, don't get me wrong, but I was surprised to see it made the Rolling Stone list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time (number 145 if you're interested).
