Group 3 presented two videos - "Like a Surgeon" by Weird Al and "Like a Virgin" by Madonna. Visuals in "Like a Surgeon" depicted a doctor operating in an unclean and unprofessional manner. Lyrics parody a doctor who barely passed medical school and makes mistakes, worrying about malpractice suits. The meaning questions whether some doctors are qualified. "Like a Virgin" showed a bride on her honeymoon. Lyrics describe feelings of intimacy for the first time. Weird Al obtains permission to parody original songs, mimicking Madonna's voice through his tenor range and nasally tone.

4. Lyrics & Music Like A Surgeon Like A Virgin I made it through the wildernessSomehow I made it throughUntil I found you*But you made me feel, Yeah, you made me feelShiny and newLike a virginTouched for the very first timeLike a virginWhen your heart beats Next to mine*Gonna give you all my love, boyMy fear is fading fastBeen saving it all for you'Cause only love can last*Oh your love thawed out, Yeah, your love thawed out *'Cause you made me feel, Yeah, you made me feelLike a virginFeels so goodinsideCan't you hear my heart beatFor the very first time? I finally made it through med schoolSomehow I made it throughI still make a mistake or two*Now I'm trying to avoid, yeah I'm trying to avoidA malpractice suitHey, like a surgeonCuttin' for the very first timeLike a surgeonOrgan transplants are my line*Better give me all your gauze nurseThis patient's fading fastComplications have set inDon't know how long he'll last*I'll pull his insides out, pull his insides outAnd see what he ate*'Cause my patients die, yah my patients dieLike a surgeon, ooh-hoo like a surgeonWhen I reach insideI can hear your heartbeatFor the very last time

5. Meaning? Finally made it through med school---- doctors that are at the bottom of the class scare people.. Are they really any better or worse?Somehow I made it through--- Are doctors really qualified?I'm just an internI still make a mistake or twoI was last in my class--- reiterating the fact some doctors are really bad doctorsBarely passed at the instituteNow I'm trying to avoid, yah I'm trying to avoidA malpractice suit ------ Malpractice because he either killed someone or did the wrong thing.. a seemingly more common occurrenceBetter give me all your gauze nurseThis patient's fading fast--- using nice words to say that the patient is dyingComplications have set in--- doctor language for unforeseen screw-upsDon't know how long he'll lastLet me see, that I.V.(gold fish in iv)Here we go - time to operateI'll pull his insides out, pull his insides out And see what he ate---- addressing the doctors that really do not care about their patients it is all a gameLike a surgeon, heyCuttin' for the very first timeLike a surgeonHere's a waiver for you to sign---- sign away your life so in case they screw-up you cannot sue themIt's a fact - I'm a quack--- he knows he sucks and is still singing it all day longThe disgrace of the A.M.A.'Cause my patients die, yah my patients dieBefore they can pay--- Doctors just want your moneyOoh baby, yahI can hear your heartbeatFor the very last time--- two last lines are opposites of Like a Virgin’s last line

6. Music Weird Al Like A Surgeon Weird Al and his music producers take original music and just write new lyrics. They don’t use cheesy instrumentals versions of the original song, they just use the original Usually he asks for permission Weird Al is a tenor and he uses his higher register to mimic Madonna’s voice He also makes his voice a little nasally to mimic the way her voice sounds
