Migraine Awareness Month - Post # 6: "Name That Tune"

Each day of June, I am blogging about my own experiences with Migraine to help raise awareness of this disease.  The prompts are provided by the good folks at the National Headache Foundation and Headache Disorder Awareness.  

Today's Challenge:
"Choose a theme song for Migraine disease or your headache disorder. See if you can find a YouTube video of it for your blog post."

My migraine theme song is "Good Morning Heartache." This song was written by by Irene Higginbotham, Ervin Drake, and Dan Fisher,
originally sung by Billie Holiday and covered by dozens of other singers. The one  I like best is the version sung by Natalie Cole.

Here is a link to the Natalie Cole version. If you like,  substitute the word "headache" for "heartache."

Here are the lyrics:
Good morning heartache, you old gloomy site
Good morning heartache, thought we said goodbye last night
I tossed and turned until it seemed that you had gone
But here you are with the dawn

Hoo, wish I'd forget you but you're here to stay, yeah
It seems I met ya when my love had gone away
I start each day out just by saying to you
Good morning heartache, what's new

Stop haunting me now, can't shake you, no, how
Why don't you just leave me alone?
I've got those Monday blues
Those straight through Sunday blues

Oh, good morning heartache, here we go, here we go, here we go again
Well, good morning heartache, you're the one who knew me when
When I guess I might as well get used to you hanging around
Good morning heartache, I see you're back in town
Good morning heartache, why don't ya sit on down, sit down
What's your theme song?
