SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 3:32 Min.
Spoofing rookie surgeons, “Weird Al” Yankovic plays off the melody from Madonna’s 1984 hit song, “Like a Virgin.” It’s the opener for his 1985 comedy album, Dare to Be Stupid.
REVIEW:
A combination of “Weird” Al Yankovic’s zany vocals and plenty of ingenious lyrics makes hearing “Like a Surgeon” a guilty pleasure … that is, when it’s heard for the first time. Yet, once listeners start processing the song’s silly lyrics (not to mention, the use of medical sound effects), poor taste becomes all too evident. This track is at most a single-listen wonder.
