[Verse 1]
I finally made it through med school
Somehow I made it through
I'm just an intern
I still make a mistake or two
I was last in my class
Barely passed at the institute
Now I'm trying to avoid
Yeah, I'm trying to avoid
A malpractice suit
[Chorus]
Hey, like a surgeon
Cuttin' for the very first time
Like a surgeon
Organ transplants are my line
[Verse 2]
Better give me all your gauze, nurse
This patient's fading fast
Complications have set in
Don't know how long he'll last
Let me see that I.V.
Here we go, time to operate
I'll pull his insides out
Pull his insides out
And see what he ate
[Chorus]
Like a surgeon, hey
Cuttin' for the very first time
Like a surgeon
Here's a waiver for you to sign
[Verse 3]
It's a fact, I'm a quack
The disgrace of the A.M.A.
'Cause my patients die
Yeah, my patients die
Before they can pay
[Chorus]
Like a surgeon, hey
Cuttin' for the very first time
Like a surgeon
Got your kidneys on my mind
[Outro]
Like a surgeon
Ooh, like a surgeon
When I reach inside
With my scalpel, and my forceps, and retractors
Oh ho, oh ho, ho, ho
Ooh baby, yeah
I can hear your heart beat
For the very last time

''I can hear your heartbeat, for the very last time'' Pure gold lol.
That's the best part of the song in my opinion.
Coulda sworn he said I can see your heartbeat just one more time.. buuutt maybe not I tend to hear things (words that haven't been said) that is 🤔🤷♂️🤦♂️..!!??
Shoot, I mistakenly thought he sang "for the very FIRST time." Now I know why it's funny.
@@AnonymousAnonymous-lh9ef Madonna sang it like you mention in the original. This is a parody after all. And thats what makes it funny in addition to the topic of the song lol.

Was it wrong of me to send this to my brother the day before his open heart surgery?
Hope he's alright
Yes.

Almost seems bs..

@@just_type_ultra I'm just glad they finally told the true story, even if it took 37 years.
I'm amazed he lived long enough after his assassination in '85 to help make the movie, and play a Scotti brother.
When I was sixteen I had a hernia repair and I swear to god my surgeon came into the operating room singing this song while they were putting me under and the nurses couldn't stop giggling and knocking my gas mask off. I couldn't help thinking that if I didn't survive it was totally worth it just because of this damn song lmao
And when you woke up, were they singing Living With a Hernia?
Smell like Nirvanna would have been beter
That's hilarious!
@@nowthatsjustducky if they were, I'd be mentally preparing a malpractice lawsuit. 😁 Lol They totally should have sung that one, too.

Lol
Yeah right
Tee hee

LMAO
How can be Al's parodies soooo much better than the originals? This is pure gold.
What was the original?
Like a Virgin by Madonna
I hope when I am a surgeon, I will play this song in the OR room.
This is GOLD Jerry !!😂😂😂
@@omegajrz1269 Funny enough, Madonna actually requested Weird Al to parody her song.
After "Like a Virgin" became a hit, Madonna made a joke about wondering when Weird Al was going to do "Like a Surgeon." He heard about it and this is the result!
Sure, just ignore Ted Mosbey’s heavy influence.
Josh McCrohon that was a joke dumbbell
starwarzfan71 Ted Mosby is a reference to a fictional show where a character claims to have sent weird al the idea for this song. He was making a joke
Barracko Taco i know I’ve seen that episode
starwarzfan71 r/whoooosh
Why isn't Ted Mosby in the credits?
Oh my god!! I just saw the rerun of HIMYM S7E7 and I thought maybe he did?
Exactly wow
You are an idol
That was only a joke on a tv show
:))) i came to listen after watching the episode
Weird AL is proof you don't need to be vulgar or mean spirtied to be funny.
You just need to be creative
But he stole the idea for this from ted mosby 🤨🤨🤨
@@prozayk5908 From a different comment:
Michael Torres

@Justin Smolik It's kinda impossible for either given the time frame that the shows take place in and when the song came out. If Scrubs takes place in (2001 to 2010) and J.D. turned 30 in season 5, J.D. would have been 25 in 2001, making him 9 in 1985. Ted Mosby was 27 in 2005, so he would have been 5.

Whenever I have surgery, I always hum this song in my head. Apparently during my last surgery, I was singing this song while I was taking in the anesthesia because afterwards, the nurse said I had good taste in music as she loves Weird Al Yankovic.
I think his physicality and dance skill has been underappreciated all these years- this was a brilliant Madonna imitation.
she probably taught him herself.
@@LevonBlueoak Because she wanted him to parody her song before having him killed.

"Dr Howard, Dr Fine, Dr Howard..."
The man has roots.
I didn't hear the "nyuk, nyuk, nyuk" though.

Came down here looking for this comment, loved the stooges as a kid, instantly brought me back to that episode
I like how he does the parody to make u laugh rather then hating on the artist unlike bart baker
Baker is vulgar, auto tuned and greedy.
Al is smart, talented and asks all of the artists for permission and pays them royalties.
i totally agree I mean to say in way bart baker buts artist down al just makes u laugh at the stupid little thing
I used to hate parody because of Bart Bake.
I'm alright with Bart
Yeah - I mean, Weird Al's parodies are just about random, crazy stuff, while Bart Baker's parodies are mostly just the artist supposedly singing "I'm crazy and I suck" over and over. I mean, he might've been inspired by Weird Al (Idk), but there is absolutely NO comparison between the two...
The shot of the retractors holding the wallet open is gold.
‘Merica

funny how morons are saying "Merica" when medical institutions in literally any other country are not only far worse but - way - more expensive

that's what brought me back here a thumbnail for Surgeon simulator 2 on twitch. It's been so long since I killed that patient.
my thoughts exactly
I love how the only reason he's considered a bad doctor by the AMA is because his patients die before they pay.
I know it's a joke, but i can see like 15 major legal violations throughout the video, at least 6 of which could get him fired or arrested.
Really? I would have neeever guessed.

or his own helpers will operate on him 1:54 where his helper chopped his finger off, because she wasn't paying attention. His face was like: what the hell are you doing??
OMG...actually that's true! I had a doc who had his receptionist make sure I had a zero balance before he'd see me...no shit! I'd say "I'm deathly ill, I only have a 20 dollar balance"...they didn't care......
Al doesn't just parody songs, they actually sound good and the lyrics are as catchy as they are amusing. This song and eat it are my favs.
Those two are great, but Smells Like Nirvana is his funniest music video hands down.
The part where they're"operating' on a wallet...lol.
It's like the real US health system
Although Yankovic refuses to use parody ideas from other people, Madonna is partly responsible for "Like a Surgeon". Madonna asked one of her friends how long it would take until Yankovic satirized her song "Like a Virgin" as "Like a Surgeon". This friend was a mutual friend of Al's manager, Jay Levey. When word got back to Yankovic, he decided it was a good idea and wrote the song. This is the only known time that Yankovic has obtained a parody idea directly from the original artist.
I also enjoyed his food related album, containing songs like "Eat it!" (after Michael Jackson), "The Rye or the Kaiser" (after the Rocky whatever theme "Eye of the Tiger"), and "Taco Grande." And I wonder how Cat Stevens (Yusif Islam) feels about "Cat in the Kettle?" Or for that matter, half the Chinese restaurant owners in the US?
lurch321 You're right. I didn't look it up because I thought my memory was good enough, and that particular song "sounded like" a Cat Stevens song of the same general time period. Several Cat Stevens and Harry Chapin songs that I remember were sung in a similar vocal and accompaniment style, for example "Summer Breeze" and "Taxi." Each of them could well have covered some of the other's songs in the '60s and early '70s.
I need to get some old CDs and listen to both of them, and I hope Yusif Islam's banishment from the US over "giving to Islamic terrorism" (is that still in effect, by the way?) doesn't keep his songs from being sold.
lurch321 All three of them sound similar, in fact. Now I'm not sure of any song that is DEFINITELY Cat Stevens without looking him up. I don't know if they had a name for that style when it was being composed, Soft Rock maybe. Groups like Alabama were merging it with Country also.
As for modern Country, as a non-country fan, all the male singers and all the female singers sound alike to me. And the lyrics are about a limited number of subjects: female singers sing about why the CAN'T leave, or why they ARE leaving, an abusive man, and male singers sing about the dumb choices they have made, such as abusing and chasing off the one woman they love.
If you play a country song backwards, you get out of jail, quit drinking and gambling, and get your house/trailer, pickup, dog and wife back!

A boy. Thats all I kick out it seems.
My dad was an emergency room doc for well over 40 years. He loved this song so much.

They made it into this one.
+chickadee yes they did, yes they did

I saw them perform live last night and they are amazing!!!!!
Saturday is their 200th show at Radio City Music Hall in NYC.for the Mandatory World tour.
Well in that song "Like a surgeon" you said his band was in it so where are his band members??
"Got your kidneys, on my mind." Best pick up line ever.
This is one of many Weird Al songs that I enjoy much more than the song it's parodying.
That's how 98% of his parodies are.
Make sure you check him out in Epic Rap Battles of History (if you haven't yet).
Purple Sabbath and this song was Madonna’s idea
@@dillonohlemiller9027 Do you even understand what a parody is? You can't make a parody of something that doesn't exist.
@@purplesabbath9057 I don't know what you're trying to say, but what @Dillon Ohlemiller is saying is that this is the only Weird Al parody whose parody title and idea came from someone other than Weird Al. Madonna suggested the parody idea to Weird Al through a common acquaintance. Normally, Weird Al rejects all ideas from others, but apparently he liked this one.
@@AdamFloro Oh, I was honestly not aware of this. I thought he was suggesting that a parody can't be superior to the original source material because it's not 'original' or some bullshit like that.
Dr. Han, is he a surgeon?
No. He is *like* a surgeon.
Ah! Remember when parodies didn't poke fun at the artist but at some totally random thing? Remember when there was no hatred towards the original artist and the spoof song was just as good? Always the best Al!
Ah yes, those were the days....
+Bren Lockhart yeah, because of copyright they can only make fun of the artist. Wierd al has to get permission from the artists directly in order to do it like this. The parodies made by youtubers are actual parody of the artist, but wierd al basically rewrites it thats why :(
Kausalya Kethu
Actually under U.S. copyright law neither he nor anyone else has to get permission to write a parody. He does does it because he's just that awesome.
Other parody artists mock the original singer because they're hacks, not because of copyright law.
Pepperidge Farms remembers,
+Bren Lockhart *cough*Bart Baker *cough*
Al has some seriously impressive range
And nobody can play the accordion like al. It's the most difficult instrument to play.
I tried playing the accordion and it sounded like a dumpster going down ten flights of stairs.
He's an amazing accordion player, even after being dead for over 35 years.
Had surgery 10 days ago.
I've been singing this for 11 of those.
Math's a bit off, but the laugh you gave me is worth it. XD
98% of Al's lyrics are just silly fun taking the piss out of the self seriousness of pop-culture, but "The disgrace of the AMA, cuz my patients die before they can pay" is searing social commentary.
3:40 The sexiest thing I've saw in my life.

How about 3:47?
Lmao

Thanks Ted Moesby
I don't see tedmosby anywhere in this video
@@ismailhossain1079 How I met your mother S7E7
Ted suggested this
Is this an interview with Kim-Jong Un's surgeon?
Good one
😂 😂 😂 I actually really like this comment 😂 👏 and I’m mad that I didn’t think of it!
Epic Gamer, true you’ve got a point lol
Epic Gamer, I can’t disagree with you on that. Sorry about that haha I’ll do better :)
One of my faves of weird als parodies. All the Madonna dance moves he does throughout it is so funny to me 😂
I remember back in the 80s hardcore Madonna fans were insulted.
@@AlbertaRose94 since there was no internet at the time... How did they vent out? I'm totally intrigued by the idea of fan wars between 80's artists and how the experience was... Today's fan wars between current generation artists seems so plain and digital. Lol
@@Azarath_Metrion_Zinthos Before and after school, between classes, lunchtime, school library, school locker room, public library, playground, skating rink, school bus, public transportation, fan magazines, entertainment shows, waiting in line, after school activities, record stores, the food court at a mall, local coffee shop, McDonalds, A&W, video arcades..... I could go on but want to prevent "click more".
@@AlbertaRose94yes true it was a very fun time to be alive now is nothing but tick tock and lame artists with mumble music and digital coupons
this actually accurately describes almost every doctor in my country.
Ouch...
America?
O_o where do you live?
Rhilpslotsoflove Bosnia
i'm awesome Oh, I thought you were going to say EVERY COUNTRY EVER. That would also work, I think...
Anybody else here from How I Met Your Mother?
Totes
I'm disappointed in anyone who's answer is 'yes.'
Lol yeah!
Why did I know I would see this lmao yes!
yep
After 40+ years, people are still talking about Weird Al. That's how much he's made a mark on pop culture.
3:00 American health care in a nutshell 😂
bruh is ur account older than youtube
more like every country.Only there it's your taxes.
I’d rather pay for my health care than have my country’s hospital’s ran like the DMV.
At least it's not Canadian healthcare!
LMAO he's from the UK. he definitely wont be around for much longer.
hows it feel waiting 6 months to be seen for a headache? sure glad i have full medicaid coverage and haven't paid a penny for any of my healthcare for my entire 25+ years of being alive, and i have multiple autoimmune diseases and dental diseases so i've been in the hospital quite a lot. can absolutely say with confidence its absolutely so much better than the shit you guys call the NHS. no wonder you guys are so insecure XD
“He who is tired of Weird Al, is tired of life.”
-Homer Simpson
Frank, they’re not here for you. Weird-Al Yankovic is on the plane
What episode is that on Simpsons 😆
2:18 "TERRIFIED HOUSEWIFE EATS HER OWN FOOT"
Didn't see that
I think it says: “footwear “ 🙂
WEEKLY WORLD NEWS forever! Wonder how Batboy is doing?
I'll never forget getting surgery and my surgeon, trying to relax me, started singing "let me see that IV, here we go, time to operate!"
He was cool
The fact that Al even mixed in a three stooges reference in there shows how creative he is
If I was about to get surgery and I hear "Hello, I'm Alvin Yancovick and I'm your surgeon." I would at first be like YAY! Then remember this music video and that he's a singer not a doctor...
Isn't it Alfred?
Well you would be in his next music video, live or not lol
yeah see my comment above also i would be like that too XD
Bre or Yes, it is Alfred.
His name is Alfred Yankovic.
Weird Al has always found a way to cheer me up in the stressful times of my life . The guy is gold .
The Lucky Star video at the end
Also I see a lion throughout this video
Yay Madonna is in in this video
Check out his breakdown in gq that was jus on yt today.
I didn't understand his music when I first heard it way back. He has the ability to laugh at himself as well cheer people up. That's quite a mix of his art. Ty
35 years later this is still funny as hell.😂
What's incredibly funny is the number of people who do not realize when this song came out and are attempt to claim some actor in a TV show from the 2010s was the inspiration for this video.
@@AlbertaRose94 это музыка 1985 года
u gotta be kidding! this song is really that old?
@@saklee1777 Yes, because I remember it was part of the Weird Al set at my high school grad all nighter and I graduated 1985. 😁 I did not know, though, until I searched, that it made it just in time. It’s official release date was June 4, 1985.
Lyrics
I finally made it through med school
Somehow I made it through
I'm just an intern
I still make a mistake or two
I was last in my class
Barely passed at the institute
Now I'm trying to avoid, yeah, I'm trying to avoid
A malpractice suit
Hey, like a surgeon
Cuttin' for the very first time
Like a surgeon
Organ transplants are my line
Better give me all your gauze, nurse
This patient's fading fast
Complications have set in
Don't know how long he'll last
Let me see that I.V.
Here we go, time to operate
I'll pull his insides out
Pull his insides out
And see what he ate
Like a surgeon, hey
Cuttin' for the very first time
Like a surgeon
Here's a waiver for you to sign
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
It's a fact, I'm a quack
The disgrace of the A.M.A.
'Cause my patients die
Yeah, my patients die
Before they can pay
Like a surgeon, hey
Cuttin' for the very first time
Like a surgeon
Got your kidneys on my mind
Like a surgeon, ooh, like a surgeon
When I reach inside
With my scalpel, and my forceps, and retractors
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh, baby
Yeah
I can hear your heartbeat
For the very last time
anyone else noticed the "dr. howard, dr. fine, dr. howard" announcement? paying homage to the legends
The three stooges, right?
@@fernandom.varela1109 yes.
@@soodanoon4813 nice
It was a reference to The Three Stooges from their 1934 short "Men In Black."
They also say Dr Ross from ER.
Haha he's even dancing and writhing on the floor like Madonna roflmao 😂
SuperHenry13 you mean MADONNA, right? You misspelled her name
noemistephanie93 wtf is roflmao

Kristian Berget thanks
Fun fact: Madona actually suggested this parody
What's this a parody of
@@seifwilliams5581 Like A Virgin by Madonna
A Good Little Bean no he didn’t Ted Mosby did!
Eoin Thhdbjwu that was a joke on a tv show you dumbbell
@@starwarzfan71 woooosh
I love when Al gets that serial killer look on his face at 2:00. He does it every now and then and i can't help but lose it.
And just think, this was all made because Ted Mosby suggested it in a fan mail letter when he was a kid.
No.....
i just watched that episode
WE KNOW THAT!
grate episode
Literally just came from HIMYM. Hahaha
I think every geek and nerd has just found their soulmate in Weird Al Yankovic.
I did that already in 1984 with Eat It.
Zingo33 You lucky duck. You were actually alive in the 1980s to experience Weird Al.
Yes, I am THAT old. Still got the memories from that fantastic decade. It was as awesome as people says it was.
Mustafa M. Ahmad
LOL, Many of us were alive in the 1980s. Weird Al is still going strong with his parodies and wackiness. :D
@@silentsoliloquy82 and he is unstoppable and powerful
Man bart baker aint got shit on al.
Indeed.
Ikr?!?! 😂😎✌☺
R.I.P. Weird Al. I hope Madonna is brought to justice one day.
Oh, she will. Al's undead corpse will make sure of it.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the theme to Surgeon Simulator 2013.
Hi Papyrus!
Papyrus j
0:44 is no one realizing that the dude in the bed has feet for a head?
its his feet and not head you can see his head in the back
No he has feet as his head
@@thatteen2173 yeah that is what I said
@@darty9286 that is what I said
Trijetz I was talking to the other guy
I used to be a normal person like you then I took a weird al to the brain
normal is boring!
Going through a reeally rough breakup, and Al is the only person who can actually make me giggle and dance around. Godspeed Weird Al, you legend.
Hop you feel better
I WILL KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYERS'MANY PRAYERSNLUV 👼👼❤️🔥❤️🔥🕊️🕊️🌹🌹💝💝
the inspiration for Surgeon Simulator. LMAO XD
Lol. What about trump surgery simulator
would any one save him or buy it ..or buy anything he says
+alistair blair I honestly don't think I would. on either account.
it should be the theme song while playing XD
not to annoy but it plays at random at different times
kkdoomsday22 XD nice, that'd be hilarious!
