The Colorectal Surgeon Song

The Colorectal Surgeon Song (Working Where the Sun Don't Shine)
Words and Music © George Bowser and Rick Blue (Bowser and Blue) SOCAN
We praise the colorectal surgeon
Misunderstood and much maligned
Slaving away in the heart of darkness
Working where the sun don't shine
Respect the colorectal surgeon
It's a calling few would crave
Lift up your hands and join us
Let's all do the finger wave
When it comes to spreading joy
There are many techniques
Some spread joy to the world
Others just spread cheeks
Some may think the cardiologist
Is their best friend
But the colorectal surgeon knows
He'll get you in the end
Why be a colorectal surgeon?
It's one of those mysterious things
Is it because, in that profession
There are always openings?
When I first met a colorectal surgeon
He did not quite understand
I said, "hey - it's nice to meet you
But, do you mind if we don't shake hands?"
He sailed right through medical school
Because he was a whiz
But he never thought of psychology
When he read "Passages"
A doctor he wanted to be
For golf he loved to play;
But this is not quite what he meant
By eighteen holes a day
Respect the colorectal surgeon
Here and now we'll raise a glass
For the rectal surgeon, like the rectum
Can tell a liquid from a gas
We praise the colorectal surgeon
Misunderstood and much maligned
Slaving away in the heart of darkness
Working where the sun don't shine

I was requested, by my inspecting colonoscopy doctor yesterday inside of the surgical room, to sing a few bars of this song yesterday. The room of medical technicians laughed before they knocked me out. I hope that the artists who wrote this song feel honored. All glory and credit go to them.

[@lauraeager373]

I have my 4th colonoscopy this coming Thursday for an ulcerative colitis work up. I’m deciding between the following before the anesthesiologist knocks me out: 1) sing a few bars of this song or 2) describe the molecular structure of propofol (I started ochem this week as I’m a post-bacc student taking the science prerequisites required to apply to medical school).

[@petergant8767]

THAT is RICH, I'll bet They STILL get laughs when they show that tape in medical school!

[@dennisgauss7644]

This was first performed before a rectal surgeons conference....The audience reaction is the best.

[@ernestdonaldmazurick7097]

I love these guys ànd I love this story

[@InservioLetum]

I keep coming back here over the years, anytime I need a giggle. Always cheers me right up :)

[@lauraeager373]

Me too, especially with an upcoming colonoscopy in 2 weeks (for diagnostic rather than screening purposes)!

[@PSRautoharp]

Love the whole team at Gloucester and Cheltenham hospitals. You save lives, you saved mine. Thank you.

[@edwardprice140]

THEY HAVE ORIFICE HOURS !

[@petergant8767]

I LOVE Your sense of humor, wish I'd thought of that, it should have been in the song, someone!

[@Goodengelt]

I delight in reminiscing that once, when I was a collegiate in Lennoxville, Québec, I partook in the attending of an almost very intimate gathering at "The Hut" I was able to see a live set by Bowser and Blue. My continuing regret is that when B&B called for 'bum darts' volunteers I let my anxiety choose for me and my hand remained unraised. Notwithstanding, thanks for the memories.

[@i_be_labrat]

I work medical.... we love this kind of stuff....

[@lauraeager373]

Gail K me too!

[@Cettie5360]

The audio of this song went around quite a bit via email in 2007. I loved it then as I still love it now. When I had to have that test my surgeon told me that I came out of the anesthesia singing THAT song to him. That made my day.

[@gen81465]

Yes, but did you sing it out of your butt? 🤔

[@LectronCircuits]

Rectum-ended by 4 out of 5 bottomologists, this duo is a real gas. Cheers!

[@timothymcdonald6913]

Great comedic song piece! Thank you for the spirit lifting song/funny!! Just great! Live and laugh long!

[@melodycook4561]

I don't even know if B&B are active on this channel, but if you are, I need you to know this song has lived rent free in my head for over a decade. I've learned it on guitar and will be inserting the ear worm into my friends on an upcoming camping trip.

[@johndowning2231]

I just had my annual cardiology exam and he noticed I was due for a colonoscopy. Last time I had one, I had my iPad and had the nurses and techs in stitches! The doctor hadn’t heard it and the last thing I heard was him guffawing! Here we go, again!

[@Kimmy-pw8tm]

That was fantastic. Giving praise to my own colorectal surgeon. Dr Alex Wong. Melbourne. Australia.

[@bordereau1]

This is brillant!!! Thank you Dr. Bleirer!

[@hrandall7884]

I've known this song for years....one of the funniest .....love it. There is another one equally as good!

[@G6JPG]

You can't make a statement like that and not tell us what it is!

[@dallasbateman2220]

I went to my family doctor for a rectal lump and asked him if this was why he didn't become a proctologist. His treatment plan was for me to find this song and listen to it with emphasis on the "18 holes a day."

[@Cettie5360]

Apparently I came out of the anesthesia singing this song when I had to have one

[@Skellertom]

I showed this so my residents at a local home in Vermont, and over 75% of them recognized this from WDEV! Thank you for posting this so I could give my residents a taste of the past!

[@thomaspaquet2437]

Sounds like the same tune as “Reuben & Rachel” - are they parodying any other tunes? Very awesome and catchy song!

[@alanbryant3016]

Brilliant

[@RichieNorthAlabama]

It is written that when Moses descended from the mountain with the ten-commandments-tablets in hand, he was beaming in a triumph. (Which BTW is the first-ever mention of automobiles in the Old Testament) And a similar joy must have accompanied the moment when these lyrics were delivered from above

[@sirstrongbad]

If it was Triumph, wouldn't he have been dimly glowing instead? Lucas the Prince of Darkness and all that?... although since it was a biblical era British car, perhaps it was better at holding in its magic smoke? ;-)
