songs you started liking while staying in the hospital

Back in 1985, I had an upper respiratory infection which kept me in the hospital
for about a week. In that time, i started liking a list of songs.

1. Wham! featuring George Michael-Everything She Wants: That song played incessantly
on the doctors and nurses radio

2. Phil Collins-Sussudio: Same as above.

3. Whitney Houston-Saving All My Love

4. Whitney Houston-You give good love

What's yours...

The only musical hospital memory I have was being in the hospital senior year of high school, and my mom brought me the copy of Boogie Down Productions' Criminal Minded that I special-ordered from the record store and had arrived that day

Ha! I heard "Everything She Wants" in the hospital in 1985, too! It was the only Wham! song I really liked. I also remember Tom Petty's "Don't Come Around Here No More", Killing Joke's "Kings & Queens", Durutti Column "Silence". I was already a U2 fanatic, though, so I guess I won't count their stuff from that time. Another thing I remember seeing on TV was Madonna's song from that movie Vision Quest "Crazy For You", though I didn't like it much.

i had my tonsil's out at 3 or 4, but i don't remember much from that experience, let alone what music i might've heard.

on a related note, this album was mostly written in a hospital.

When my dad fell into a diabetic coma, I kept getting pissed because I could hear this faint Kenny G music coming in through a speaker in the room somewhere. I was trying to concentrate on what was going on with my father, but that damn saxophone kept distracting me.

Turns out, it was the sound being made by his respirator pump inflating and deflating. ¯\(°_o)/¯

While getting a CAT scan because of dizzy spells, they spotted an unrelated growth and sent me for an MRI. They offered me headphones (plastic tubes like old airline headphones--no metal allowed in the MRI) and my choice of radio station (WFMU) while I was being MRI'd, and the first song that came on was the Buzzcocks' "Harmony in My Head."

Which I took that as a good omen--and my little Hideous Lump Jr. was benign.

of all the songs in the world, 'sussudio' would likely be in my top 10 list of "songs I wouldn't want to hear on repeat when trapped in a hospital"

So what do we think of dude's mullet? It's an awful haircut, to be sure.

lol at PP's story!

I had eye surgery when I was 14 and got donated a Dansette record player and bought the live EP from Gary Numan's 'White Noise' album featuring 'Are "Friends" Electric?', 'Cars', 'Berserker' and another track, maybe 'Down In the Park'. I must have heard Numan before then but it really clicked with me that summer. I listened to nothing but Numan for the rest of the year.

The day I came out of theatre apparently I was raving and hallucinating and got put in a private room because I was upsetting other children on the ward. I remember later in the evening the walls were crawling and then watching 'Deliverance' on a small black and white portable next to my bed. I can still hear Ned Raggett's Beatty's screams now.

i had my appendix removed, and then was almost immediately back in for longer with an infected surgery scar when Take My Breath Away was all over the radio.

It hurts so good. I can't find a Durutti Column video on You Tube for this song. Sorry about that.

I mean "You Don't Say What You Mean/You Don't Mean What You Say"

"The Frenz Experiment" and "Black Celebration" will always and forever be the soundtracks to hospitalization for me. I bought both CDs about a week before I spent three weeks hospitalized for stomach surgery in 1990.

It's not exactly hospital, but when I was a kid I recall being given the nitrous at the dentists, and while "Calling Occupants" by the Carpenters played, my head went all spinny, my arms detatched and proceeded to float in front of my body, so I associate that song with spaceyness, appropriately.

Why nitrous doesnt do that to me any more I have no idea.

I did like it beforehand, but while in hospital at the end of my first year of university, I listened to Mogwai's 'Small Children In The Background' from the No Education EP so many times, as it seemed so unbearably sad and made me cry every time and I wanted to try and generate some kind of catharsis within myself.
