The Colonoscopy Song - Peter Yarrow

[@ams7224]

I adore Peter Yarrow! Only he could take a topic like this and turn it into a folk song!

[@Jeff-ie2gj]

This guy is awesome!!

[@tommihail6564]

LMAO that's a pun folks..and yes I've had one done and it can save your lives..Thanks Peter Yarrow please continue with all the good you do..love from Australia.😊

[@MNuttree]

Really charming song, and I don't think anyone could have sung it better than Peter Yarrow. Now, we need a song that will make the *prep* the night before seem fun and exciting...

[@lauraeager373]

Mitchell Nussbaum agree, as the prep is much more trying than the procedure

[@philallender1221]

I loved Peter Yarrow's song. It doesn't get much better than this folks, so enjoy it!

[@ben_cena]

My brother and I met Peter Yarrow five years ago and he is the best.

[@CeresKLee]

Yay! Peter Yarrow is still alive! The Iatest I see him in at the Kerrville Fork Fest in 1989 - and he complaining about senior moments back then!

[@DestinyPowers-rz4lf]

man your awesome . i love this. I'm having my second colonoscopy tomorrow. first one I had they removed a polyp coffee cup size. blew my mind idt they get that big but I seen the pic. Ty for this song

[@67gs400]

Peter - thank you - this little ditty gave me the inal push I needed to get mine done (1st one) - Dec. 2020. All good - gold star colon - one small polyp - checked - benign. Thanks

[@alarnajenkins]

This is the best sing i have heard in a long long time

[@joebloggs4369]

Excellent!

[@mikrosha]

WOW i loved it!!! totally great.

[@lisalaporte2064]

Love this! ❤

[@PoetlaureateNFDL]

I still get quite a kick out of this song! Bravo Peter!

[@SaskiaCornell]

Fantastic Peter, you are awesome. Saskia

[@geoff1945]

A gentle reminder that C.C.T.V. can be intrusive in a good way. funny that this video comes on a day when I have been working with a group of children showing how we can get important messages over in a memorable and interesting way. I was surprised how clear the pictures were as I watched that little camera journey through my colon. Thank you for sharing this Max and no I do not have any anecdotes concerning famous colonoscopies though I did once use the same rest-room as Robin Gibb. LOL

[@peggyconrad]

Ahhh- it does my heart good to hear this old geezer talk about the benefits of colonoscopy,

[@raymondcrooke]

Thanks to Max for passing on this song with an important message.

[@ezekielsmukler2903]

Liked Peter Yarrow's song and had a colonoscopy at the end of December.

[@alannaallen]

simply adorable and informative. :D

[@dianekirse2122]

I’ve had several with light sedation. I like to watch the screen and have the doc explain what he’s looking at.

[@jeanieperkins]

Peter, you "crack me up!" See you at Kerrville! Hope you do this one.

[@weedouthate]

What a Mensch!

[@stuartarticles]

I love this guy too. Great song...I need a colonoscopy..and now will get one.. Thanks Peter..for your work and your service for making this vid

[@briancano3017]

Check out the Ode to the Colorectal Surgeon by Bowser and Blue. They composed it for a symposium of CR doctors.

[@screwyootube1]

"Aww... Blow it out your sphincter!"

[@PoetlaureateNFDL]

Still one of my favorite songs...funny.

[@kugel19]

There are no words needed...just listen. OY!

[@lilithrogers5204]

Awww, Happy for you Peter.....What was your prize--a big lollipop perhaps? Ho, Ho....

[@emerald4478]

100% public health! So important!

[@geoff1945]

I commented on this six months ago but my friend Max drew me back to it today. Still as funny and informative as the last time but more interesting reading some of the other comments since my last visit. I guess this is a good time to say I LMAO.

[@startrekkin1701]

Oh my gosh. That is the most awesome thing I have ever seen in my life. "I didn't mean to sound so crass..... they shoved a camera up my............" i LOVED the look on his face when he said that...... omg i havent laughed so hard in forever.

[@josephinestabel9647]

This world is insane. 😔

[@sxekatieq]

@bbcpdx, It's not only for people aged 50+, I am 22 years old and I was diagnosed with FAP (100% change of Colon Cancer by age 30-40). I've suffered the colonoscopy preps and I loved this. I actually go in tomorrow to have my colon removed. It's a hard journey but I have to agree with you- it is just as funny as Dave Barry's article.

[@softwhere07]

What the frig did I just watch!

[@andrewkaylor2416]

+softwhere07 I know that feel

[@cabbott1956]

where did all the polyps go? gone to graveyards everyone...................

[@genewilliams617]

Good one. Nice play on words.

[@ste3027]

😊

[@williambrenner4144]

Grossed out.

[@ButtMeddler]

Bravo, Peter! The top new video you must absolutely positively view before colonoscopy! March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month, so we offer you the music parody “Lookin’ Up My Backdoor.” The song pays homage to Credence Clearwater Revival’s hit song “Lookin’ Out My Backdoor,” but with a decidedly different message. Download the digestive ditty freely at iTunes, the quirky video can be viewed on KZbin.

[@sanangelodad]

You Tube search Jayme colonoscopy song! It's hillarious

[@waterskippers]

I can't read his handwriting. What's it say on his guitar?

[@waterskippers]

This gives me an idea for a beauty contest...

[@anonyoutube850]

LOLLoLLLlLOL i laugh still tht ive heard it 1000000000000X times sooo funny!!!!

[@rdvqc]

The classic in this category is a song by Canadian Duo Bowser and Blue called "The Colorectal Surgeon". We first heard it at a fund raiser for the Crohn's and Colitis Society. It was special. Imagine a career working "where the sun don't shine"

[@karenc2837]

Well, that was weird.

[@HDPersonal777]

It gets worse, Peter Yarrow is a convicted child abuser and was pardoned by then US President Gerald Ford in 1981. Creepy indeed! And this is the group that stole and run the media and everything.

[@waterskippers]

My colon came in second.

[@fastandeffective]

Colonoscopy mortality 10 times higher than mortality from surgical abortions in women! www.huffingtonpost.com/michelle-tang/5-things-that-are-more-le_b_8630572.html

[@JeevesReturns]

Cute

[@arnoldrm0123]

LOL funny.

[@SuperSquark]

Didn't Neil Armstrong "first man on the moon" die when his (very profess ional) doctor shoved that camera through his rectal wall?

[@SuperSquark]

Its a good remake of the colo rectal surgeon song. Almost as funny.

[@tpstrat14]

@FoxtrotCharlie50 Peter Yarrow fought to end the Vietnam war? Fuck that. He fought to gain fame and fortune in the form of people praising him for ending the Vietnam war. You can see it in his demeanor, can't you? Well, I can. I met the man and he's chock full of smugness. No pain or empathy resides in this man for the people who died and suffered because of the Vietnam war. Only happiness for all the people that didn't die as a result of him being their savior. Newsflash: ya didn't save 1 life!

[@lettots]

I had a colonoscopy one time on my birthday! One polyp, benign. Yea! September 27th, 2011. 2016, none. Yea! Have it done every 5 years people if you're polyp free. Every 3 if not so. And not to mention the white stuff which is actually called Propofol gives you a nice feeling if you don't go out like a light. 16 seconds one time to put me out. Not bad. See ya!

[@boyahshaka2]

1:01 watch that part, over and over.

[@FINSuojeluskunta]

why did cbs post this

[@colinmccann3824]

Pitkä Peura He debuted the song on their morning show.

[@tpstrat14]

@FoxtrotCharlie50 Peter Yarrow fought to gain pride over his fellow men. He did nothing to fight to end the Vietnam war. I saw this truth first hand last week when I saw him in concert. He sang about 10% of the time and for the other 90% he preached and preached about the wonderful cause he has been a part of his whole life. Nothing sincere came out of this man's mouth. Nothing whatsoever.... He didn't help end any war any more than you or I.

[@anonyoutube850]

hes scary XD

[@waterskippers]

Instead of spending money on a doctor, I just go to the airport and get scanned there.

[@sillyduck8]

Yikes!

[@sanangelodad]

My Friend Jayme Sang a version of this song right after her colonoscopy: Search You tube: Jayme colonoscopy song It's Hilarious!!

[@steelydanfan100]

😂

[@PredatorPatrolSZA]

Child Molester?? Really?

[@HDPersonal777]

A convicted child abuser that was Pardoned by Gerald Ford in 1981 like Peter Yarrow and considering his tribe this song is NO surprise!!! Sick weirdos, should be ashamed of yourselves and instead of other just self destruct.

[@rustyshakelfurt8172]

This aged poorly...

[@GradyPhilpott]

I don't have much animosity toward Yarrow, as he's just one more American with a misguided sense of justice. Cronkite, however, must be held to a higher standard, as his field was journalism and as the purported "most trusted man in America," he betrayed a generation of warriors against the global spread of Communism.
