LYRICS When I was yay high 'til I was three I suffered from petit mal epilepsy Any excitement gave me a fit But there were drugs to cure me of it Weird diseases I get weird diseases Whenever Krishna sneezes I get weird diseases So at the least sign of emotion I got a tranquilizing potion Thus from the time I was a young boy I could feel neither anger nor joy Just weird diseases Random weird diseases Once from eating recalled cheeses I got weird diseases Nearly fatal renal cysts Maybe Asperger's if that exists Pityriasis rosea Two separate times giardia Weird diseases I get weird diseases Wafting on the toxic breezes I get weird diseases Debilitating spider bites Hiccups for three days and nights A thousand earaches, one deformed eardrum Hyperacusis, what's that from? It's from weird diseases I get weird diseases Whenever baby Jesus pleases He gives me weird diseases Chronic fatigue COPD Petit mal epilepsy Two big holes inside my brain Migraine aura sans migraine Weird diseases I get weird diseases Weird diseases Weird diseases I get weird diseases
Great tune, but most of the diseases he mentions are very common, some even benign conditions. I do concede it would be unusual for one person to get all of them in childhood. Finally, I don't like his elocution of "petit mal" (absence seizures) either. I get it that he was using that particular disease to change up the rhythm of the vocal melody, but for me it doesn't really work because he ends up saying the name of the disease incorrectly.
that classic sitar-guitar sound from The Gothic Archies ❤
I thought this song would've been from decades ago! Great tune.
This song needs more love
Wonderfully written tune... And catchy to the ears...
Very relevant for 2020.
LYRICS
When I was yay high 'til I was three
I suffered from petit mal epilepsy
Any excitement gave me a fit
But there were drugs to cure me of it
Weird diseases
I get weird diseases
Whenever Krishna sneezes
I get weird diseases
So at the least sign of emotion
I got a tranquilizing potion
Thus from the time I was a young boy
I could feel neither anger nor joy
Just weird diseases
Random weird diseases
Once from eating recalled cheeses
I got weird diseases
Nearly fatal renal cysts
Maybe Asperger's if that exists
Pityriasis rosea
Two separate times giardia
Weird diseases
I get weird diseases
Wafting on the toxic breezes
I get weird diseases
Debilitating spider bites
Hiccups for three days and nights
A thousand earaches, one deformed eardrum
Hyperacusis, what's that from?
It's from weird diseases
I get weird diseases
Whenever baby Jesus pleases
He gives me weird diseases
Chronic fatigue
COPD
Petit mal epilepsy
Two big holes inside my brain
Migraine aura sans migraine
Weird diseases
I get weird diseases
Weird diseases
Weird diseases
I get weird diseases
When I was _yay_ high till I was three
@@The0ubik fixed thx
Whenever Baby Jesus pleases....he's the master of rhymes.
my fucking favorite from this album so far
thank you
Lovely
Oh pretty please post the video to "Eye Contact", I think that was my favorite one from the show.
The blood dancing to the tune at 2:07 killed me
JUST GREAT
Best!
One of my dad's friends got scurvy when she was in university. Apparently the doctor had to dig out a dusty tome to figure that was what it was.
Did he prescribe her limes?
I had scurvy also when I was about 17, it makes your skin turn weird colors
someone know the chords for this song ?
Mess around with Gm, B flat, F7 and C. May be an Am in there somewhere but haven't finished working it out.
I've listened again. Intro: Gm, Flat, Gm, C. Verses are Gm , Flat, C. Chorus Gm, C
Thos are B flats,. My keyboard is acting up
Pretty much my life in a nutshell. And the strangest thing is, I was born in '92 as well. :/
BethGoth15 me too on all fronts
2/92 here.
Anyone else got weird diseases?
Yes, I have hyperacusis, sadly.
Great tune, but most of the diseases he mentions are very common, some even benign conditions. I do concede it would be unusual for one person to get all of them in childhood. Finally, I don't like his elocution of "petit mal" (absence seizures) either.

Common and benign do not equal not weird.
Anyone else here because of that ONE weird disease?
(aka novel coronavirus)
