OT Song

Published November 6, 2007 1:47 PM by Jessica LaGrossa

I love youtube.com-what a terrific way to pass the time I don't really have to waste! I stumbled across a great song about occupational therapy a few months back that I knew our readers would love but didn't have a way to share it. But thanks to the blog I can now post it here. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. Share it with your OT friends, coworkers, patients, etc!

Cheers,

Jessica

LYRICS

I woke up this morning
I couldn't even get out of bed
I stumbled on my feet to brush my teeth
and I didn't have the strength...to find my sink

(chorus)
It sounds like I need some OT
It sounds like I need some OT
It sounds like I need some occupational therapy

So they dragged me out of bed
To do some therapy activity
To bake a cake and fold some clothes
They told me I can't go home
unless I'm safe when I'm alone
It looks to me instead...that someone is just lazy

(chorus)
It sounds like I need some OT
It sounds like I need some OT
It sounds like I need some occupational therapy

So if you find yourself putting on your t-shirt wrong
or sometimes wondering if you've left your stove on
Lets make it very clear...You don't need physical therapy

(chorus)
It sounds like you need some OT
It sounds like you need some OT
It sounds like you need some occupational therapy
lalalalalalalalala

Now wait a minute, is there a speech therapist in the house?

(chorus)
It sounds like you need some OT
It sounds like you need some OT
It sounds like you need some occupational therapy

Sometimes we forget about that other therapy
we always seem to think physical therapy
but without OT, people are going to think...and would be stinky

So thank you, OT
For all you do, thank you
Thank you, thank you occupational therapy

You need some OT? You know you do!
Who's the vice president?
You need some OT? Your shoelaces are untied
You need some OT? Your fly is open
You need some OT? You know you want some?
You need some OT? You know you do.

Great song! Catchy tune, I'm sitting here humming it as I type this comment. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Kudos to Elton for composing the song.

Jessica, that song is so cool, and Elton is so endearing! It is about time that OT comes to the forefront and possibly become famous!

I would love some history as to what inspired Elton to write this

tune.

Perhaps I can interview him..........
