@Eric Music is such a major part of my life too. I was so very sad to hear this news. There are other favorite, wonderful musicians that have been diagnosed that I am also praying, cheering for at the moment (John Prine, Jackson Browne… and many more I’m sure).

I’ve been watching the wide variety of musicians, famous or not, that have been posting live jams from their homes!! It helps keep me grounded and calm.

Hugs to all y’all. :blush:

I could do that!

I assume you mean you want me to sing it though, not just write it?

I actually have a picture of that.

I was in a lip-sync contest long ago. I did Michael Jackson. Release of the picture would end my political career. But dang, I swear I looked exactly like MJ on that day.

Ha, so sweet that you still think a political career in the cards!

Sorry, just kidding Eric. I know you can do what ever you set your mind to do!

@T1Allison,
A special bonus gift for you. The live version is tomorrow.

Beat It 'Beetis
by Michael Jackson Me!!

The doctor told her sorry to see you around here
Had a sad face, knew beta cells would disappear
The look in the doctor’s eyes, his words were really clear
It’s 'beetis, you got 'beetis

He said don’t argue, I don’t want to debate
Don’t want to hear about the foods that you once ate
Get the pasta, rice, and potatoes off your plate
You got 'beetis, but it ain’t so bad

You got 'beetis, 'beetis, 'beetis, ‘beetis
Don’t let it get you defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter the endo’s never right

Just 'beetis, 'beetis
Just 'beetis, 'beetis
Just 'beetis, 'beetis
Just 'beetis, 'beetis
Oooh!

Disease won’t stop you, you’ll live like you can
Don’t worry cuz you’ll have a long lifespan
You’re gonna stay alive and do all that you can
It’s 'beetis, just 'beetis

You have to show them that you’re really not scared
This is your own life, it’s really not theirs
It’ll kick you, but won’t beat you,
It sucks and may not seem fair
You got 'beetis, but it ain’t so bad

You got 'beetis, 'beetis, 'beetis, ‘beetis
Don’t let it get you defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter the endo’s never right

Just 'beetis, 'beetis, 'beetis, ‘beetis
Don’t let it get you defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter the endo’s never right
Just 'beetis, 'beetis, 'beetis
'Beetis, 'beetis, 'beetis

'Beetis, 'beetis, 'beetis
'Beetis, 'beetis, 'beetis

[GUITAR SOLO by “Eric” Van Halen]

'Beetis, 'beetis, 'beetis, ‘beetis
Don’t let it get you defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter the endo’s never right

[REPEAT CHORUS 5 TIMES TO FADE]

Just 'beetis, 'beetis, 'beetis, ‘beetis
Don’t let it get you defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter the endo’s never right

Eric, after years of reading your musical “deviation creations,” I have to say that I think you may have missed your true calling. I think you should consider changing professions and become a lyricist :rofl:.

Hi @Necroplasm,
This is kind of the official “unofficial” welcome to FUD - a special song dedication. :grinning:

I hate remakes, and I woulda done the Sonny and Cher version, but I wanted to make it a little newer for Shannon. So apologies to Sonny and Cher (and anyone else who reads this post.) :grinning:

The Beat Goes On
by Britney Spears Me!!

Pharmacy coverage screwin’ with my brain
LADA LADA D
T1/LADA that’s me

Endo’s sayin’ gotta apply for it again
Trying DME, that’s my next game
C-peptide came back, was low enough, uh huh
They still need to approve the damn thing, uh huh

And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on

Pharmacy coverage screwin’ with my brain
LADA LADA D
T1/LADA that’s me

Sleep is now is the first thing, last thing on my mind
Lows, I get woken up until the end of time

And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on

And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on

Pharmacy coverage screwin’ with my brain
LADA LADA D
T1/LADA that’s me

Insurance so slow, like they barely moved
I still dream of getting that thing approved

And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on

Pharmacy coverage screwin’ with my brain
LADA LADA D
T1/LADA that’s me

Approval keeps going slower every day (every day)
When it happens I’ll dance the night away

And the beat goes on (and the beat goes on)
And the beat goes on (and the beat goes on)
And the beat goes on (and the beat goes on)
And the beat goes on (and the beat goes on)
And the beat goes on (and the beat goes on)
And the beat goes on (and the beat goes on)
