There are some of those “bad drug” lawsuit ads out these
days claiming that metal on metal hip implants cause problems like pain,
infection, and additional surgeries, and that if you have these problems, they
will sue, sue, sue everyone for you. Oh,
but they are missing out on the fact that there’s a great song by the early
thrash metal band Anvil called “Metal on Metal”, and with a bit of lyrical
reworking, this song could be used in the ads, like so:
Metal on metal, it’s what we crave,
With your hip implant problems, what cash we will make!
Metal on metal, your hips start to bleed,
We’ll sue everyone, fulfilling our greed!
Metal on metal, in your hip implants,
It causes you pain, makes you rave and rant!
Metal on metal, oh my what luck,
If people have problems, we’ll make mega bucks!
If metal on metal, in hip implants clash,
Call this toll-free number, we’ll sue them for cash!
Keep on calling, keep on calling, toll-free calls all night,
Keep on suing, keep on suing, join the litigation fight!
Here’s Anvil’s song “Metal on Metal”:
And here’s a metal on metal hip implant bad drug ad (But not
the only one of its type):
