Mass Psychosis Was Their Diagnosis

Squirrel Nut Zippers - LA GRIPPE
From the album "The Inevitable" (1999)

There's a flu bug getting passed around
and it's spreading like fire through the town
There's a virus holing up inside us
Everyone that I know is coming down

There's an Asian influenza
Infecting us all by the score
And it's turning into pneumonia
We must go out once more

There's a fool moon howling at the night
And its bark is much worse than its bite
So we must go out and dance around
Yes we must go tonight

So the doctors came on the evening train
With their flasks and their caskets and vials
Mass psychosis was their diagnosis (yes)
So we all cashed our checks and went wild

There's a fool moon howling at the night
And its bark is much worse than its bite
So we must go out and dance around
Yes we must go tonight

LA GRIPPE!

Jim wrote La Grippe when he and Katharine caught the flu, and slowly but surely, he had given it to everyone in the band....including me....

It's funny how it's found a new life with today's flu "scare".
