BONUS TRACKS: Every single song in this set (thus far) has had an accompanying music video or live footage. This is RARE! That being said, there were a half-dozen good songs that didn't have videos but were too good to be left out for that reason alone. So here they are...
The Cramps ~ "I Was A Teenage Werewolf"
Rilo Kiley ~ "Teenage Lovesong"
Yuna ~ "Teenage Heartbreak"
The Wonder Years ~ "Teenage Parents"
blink-182 ~ "Teenage Satellites"
Queens Of The Stone Age ~ "I Was A Teenage Hand Model"
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”

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.)
