"CANCER" (a parody of Michael Jackson's "THRILLER") - CHECK 15 - October 2014

Here at CHECK 15, our goal is to create a Monthly Cancer Awareness Day. On the 15th day of every month, we'll be hitting the internet with a reminder to break down barriers around the cancer conversation (with a healthy dose of humor). This month, we turn Michael Jackson's classic music video for "THRILLER" into a cancer survival anthem.

LYRICS:

Something’s just not right, the way we approach cancer seems so strange
(clap) We need a rewrite, this disease’s dialogue has got to change
You can survive, and help us push views in a new direction
(clap clap) You’re still alive, though some have trouble looking in your eyes
Your family cries (clap)
You hear the door slam, (slam) they’ve heard you’re diagnosed and think you’re done
Life full of exams, they think you can no longer have some fun
But they are wrong, you’re more alive than you ever thought you could be
You can be strong, don’t listen to the doubts within your mind
You’re not out of time

‘Cause this is cancer, cancer fight
The doctor’s gonna save you from the cyst about to strike
We’ll beat this cancer, cancer fight
We’re fighting for our lives to find an answer, to cancer

Cancer, cancer fight
‘Cause we can conquer more than any tumor’d ever dare try
Cancer (woo hoo), cancer fight
So let’s join our hands tight and find an answer, answer (oww), answer, (oww) to cancer here tonight

‘Cause this is cancer, cancer fight
Oh we can conquer more than any tumor’d ever dare try
Cancer (woo hoo), cancer fight
So let’s join our hands tight and find an answer, to cancer (oww)

CHECK 15 is here to assist
To be sure no self-check is missed
Every month we create for you
A video reminder anew
All are aware cancer exists
But why and of what rarely consists
Knowledge is really what we need
Early detection is how we succeed

What we’re trying to convey
Is a Monthly Cancer Awareness Day
Every fifteenth we’ll bout tumors
With a healthy dose of humor
So while we fight to stay alive
Maybe lightness is the answer
To shed the stigmas and walls around
The darkness of the cancer
