As a tribute the the Mod, who is apparently under the weather today, I propose a last man standing of songs with the word sick in the title.
One rule in addition to the normal LMS rules: the use of the word “sick” must mean “ill,” not just fed up or crazy (unless “crazy” refers to an actual mental illness and not just bad behavior).
I’ll lead off with “Sick as a Dog” by Aerosmith.
Led Zep’s Sick Again
Mudhoney “Touch Me I’m Sick”
When I’m Sicksty-Four
“Sick As A Dog”
Aerosmith
Dylan – Love Sick
…er…um…I meant to say “Subterranean Homesick Blues”.
Yeah, yeah, thats the ticket..
“Christine Sicks-teen” by Kiss.
“Lovesick Blues” by Hank Williams, inter alia.
You Sound Like You’re Sick” by the Ramones
“London Homesick Blues/Home With The Armadillo” by Gary P. Nunn.
The Pogues “The Sickbed of Cuchulainn”
Come on, people! We’re paying homage to The Mod:
“Sick Day” by Fountains of Wayne!
TB
You mean Mr. Moderator isn’t an Irish sailor dying of syphillis? And here I thought I’d found the perfect song.
You Got To Take Sick And Die Some Of These Days – Muddy Waters. No offense mr. Mod…
No, you were right bostonhistorian:)
I’m feeling a bit better. Hopefully I’ll be running the Rocky “Feeling Strong Now” montage by tomorrow morning!
Sick and Tired, which most people know by Fats Domino though the original was by Chris Kenner.
Damn you Bigsteve! I was just fixin to name Bo Diddley’s version.
From the patron saint of RTH; Lou Reed.
Sick of You on the New York album.
On one of Kimberley Rew’s recent solo albums there’s a song called Sick of Hearing About Your Drugs.
Matthew Sweet – Sick of Myself
Rancid, “Dope Sick Girl”
American Music Club — “Sick of Food”

Have we waived this rule? It’s fine by me, but now I’m kicking myself for not, briefly, occupying the LMS slot by suggesting “Sick of Myself” when I thought of it yesterday. Wahhhhhhhh!
This is difficult, if we don’t allow for titles using sick to mean “fed up.”
The People pretty much threw that rule out with their responses so I guess anything goes.
If you cant’ beat ’em… Sick Boys – Social Distortion
Robyn Hitchcock, “Sickie Boy”
You’re going to let the peasants revolt cdm?
I can’t worry about that now, bostonhistorian. I need to focus my energies on getting one of Moby Grape’s five debut singles on that list.
Love Sick – Bob Dylan
Sick On You by the Boys and Hollywood Brats. A very unpleasant song.
“Our Band Is Wicked Sick (We Have the Flu)” by, ahem,… Anal Cunt.
Another “Lovesick” by that fine Scottish group Orange Juice.
Film School: “Sick Hipster Nursed by Suicide Girl”
Sick, Sober and Sorry – a country song (from the title it must be obvious) by Johnny Bond
Metric: “Sick Muse”
The Damned:
“Sick of being sick”
