H1N1 and a Two and a Three

A Vaccination Playlist

The temperature’s changing (and then changing back and changing again). Perfect conditions for your new invisible enemy, Mr. Swine Flu. Here are a few little ditties to give you the emotional fortitude to withstand his piggy strengths. And to encourage you to go get that shot.

“Fever,” by La Lupe
(Everybody’s got that fever.)

“103,” by The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
(Yes. A fever of a hundred and three.)

“On a Train,” by Francis and the Lights
(Who knows what’s down in that subway?)

“Crazy in Love,” by Antony & the Johnsons
(We heard it will make you go crazy. Not necessarily crazy in love.)

“Nitetime Rainbows,” by A Sunny Day in Glasgow
(And we heard it will make you hallucinate. There are no rainbows at night, silly!)

“Who Are You,” by The Who
(The WHO — um, the World Health Organization — has chimed in on the subject.)

“Mom,” by Earth, Wind & Fire
(And you know what your mother thinks.)

“The Afterlife,” by Yacht
(Save it for later.)
