[78-L] Is there a song about Prozac?^

Bmi.com lists many "Prozac" songs, including "Prozac Attack," "Prozac
Baby,"Prozac Stay Inside," (?!?) and "Prozac Morning."

I think the little yellow pills in "Mother's Little Helper" were yellow
level valiums, the drug of choice (along with those upper-laced "vitamin
shots") of 60's housewives. How quaint just enjoying the buzz seems compared
to the goal of overachievement and overconfidence which SOME (not all)
Prozac prescribers dole it out for. Just a cultural comment, not a comment
on the many this drug does help.

Hillbilly songs, and truck driver songs especially, have pill mentions: for
instance, Lonnie Irving's "Gooseball Brown." 

Best,
