Posted by My Project was on Sickle Cell Anemia. Enjoy this parody of I Knew Your Were Trouble by Taylor Swift.
This is a comedic representation of the mutation that occurs in the beta glob in gene.
I Knew You Were Trouble (Sickle Cell Anemia)
Lyrics by Jornie Kinga
Verse 1:
Once upon a time, one mutation ago
Hemoglobin, Amino acid 6,
You changed my, glutamic to valine, valine valine
I guess you didn’t care, and now my cells are rods
They die as premies, They block my flow of blood
No oxygen, I’m anemic, low blood, low blood, low blood
Pre-Chorus:
You run in my family, hereditary
And I realize, I’ve got two copies
Chorus:
I knew you were trouble when I couldn’t breathe
So shame on you now
Making me experience this fatigue
When you blocked my vessels oh
I knew you were trouble when I felt pain
So shame on you now
Not letting my organs get oxygen
Oh! Oh! Sickle cell anemia
Now I’m lying on a cold hard ground
Bridge:
But there’s benefits, to this sickle trait
With only one copy, You protect me, from malaria, kill those parasites
Hello, Jornie. I have to say that I enjoyed you parody about Sickle Cell Anemia very much. You made it fit so perfectly to the Trouble by Taylor Swift song. I love it. Is not only fun but it is also informative. The sickle Cell Anemia parody explains that the one mutation Hemoglobin, Amino acid 6 changes, the glutamic is replaced with valine. The changes cause low blood flow, less oxygen, causing anemia. Sickle cell anemia is hereditary. To be able to inherit sickle cell anemia an individual must inherit a copy of sickle cell gene from both parents. When blood vessels get blocked it can cause pain. However, there is benefits to carrying the sickle cell trait. With only one copy the person can be protected from malaria.
