Songs About Nurses

It's National Nurses Week, and we here at Wax & Tracks ("we" meaning me and my dead bird) are celebrating it with a fresh batch of Songs About Nurses. Listen, share, tag people, and most importantly...Enjoy!  ~  JH



1)  The White Stripes  ~  “The Nurse”




2)  Bush  ~  “Nurse”




3)  Billy Bragg  ~  “A Nurse’s Life Is Full Of Woe”




4)  Cascada  ~  “Night Nurse”




5)  The Presidents Of The United States Of America  ~  “She’s A Nurse”




6)  The Sugarcubes  ~  “Happy Nurse”




7)  Jethro Tull  ~  “Nursie”




8)  Sonic Youth  ~  “Dude Ranch Nurse”




9)  Katatonia  ~  “Sweet Nurse”




10)  Cherry Glazerr  ~  “Nurse Ratched”  (This video is unnecessarily brutal. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Well, actually, there is. Whatevs.)




11)  JJ Cale  ~  “Devil’s Nurse”




12)  Carolyn Rodriguez  ~  “Night Nurse”




13)  Failure  ~  “The Nurse Who Loved Me”




14)  Swift  ~  “Nurse”




15)  Gregory Isaacs  ~  “Night Nurse”




16)  Country Joe McDonald  ~  “Thank The Nurse”




17)  Oceansize  ~  “Music For A Nurse”




18)  SSgt. Barry Sadler  ~  “Salute To The Nurses”  (If you just happen to have been a nurse serving in Vietnam during the war, this song is specifically devoted to you.)




19)  Guided By Voices  ~  “Titus And Strident Wet Nurse”




20)  R.E.M.  ~  “Everybody Hurts”  (This song and the next few in this set are less ABOUT nurses but more about what nurses DO. Here, they help you when you’re hurt.)




21)  Evanescence  ~  “Bring Me To Life”  (Yep, they can do that, too.)




22)  Bette Midler  ~  “Wind Beneath My Wings”  (Any nurse who’s ever taken good care of you more than lives up to this song.)




23)  Coldplay  ~  “Fix You”  (Yup, that’s a big part of their job.)




24)  The Fray  ~  “How To Save A Life”  (Oh, they KNOW how!)




25)  Starflyer 59  ~  “Card Games & Old Friends”  (What every nurse does during their day-long breaks at work, right? Of course this song DOESN’T describe nurses, but references one of the most foolish statements ever to come out of the mouth of a politician. If you’re a nurse, or you love one, or you simply pay attention, you know what I’m talking about.)
