A parody of Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” that actually started due to Mrs. Ciccone herself: Madonna asked one of her friends how long it would take until Yankovic satirized her song as “Like a Surgeon”. And this friend knew Al’s manager…

[Verse 1]
I finally made it through med school
Somehow I made it through
I'm just an intern
I still make a mistake or two
I was last in my class
Barely passed at the institute
Now I'm trying to avoid
Yeah, I'm trying to avoid
A malpractice suit
[Chorus]
Hey, like a surgeon
Cuttin' for the very first time
Like a surgeon
Organ transplants are my line
[Verse 2]
Better give me all your gauze, nurse
This patient's fading fast
Complications have set in
Don't know how long he'll last
Let me see that I.V.
Here we go, time to operate
I'll pull his insides out
Pull his insides out
And see what he ate
[Chorus]
Like a surgeon, hey
Cuttin' for the very first time
Like a surgeon
Here's a waiver for you to sign
[Post-Chorus]
Whoa, whoa, whoa
[Verse 3]
It's a fact, I'm a quack
The disgrace of the A.M.A.
'Cause my patients die
Yeah, my patients die
Before they can pay
[Chorus]
Like a surgeon, hey
Cuttin' for the very first time
Like a surgeon
Got your kidneys on my mind
[Outro]
Like a surgeon
Ooh, like a surgeon
When I reach inside
With my scalpel, and my forceps, and retractors
Oh ho, oh ho, ho, ho
Ooh baby, yeah
I can hear your heart beat
For the very last time

Weird Al told The New York Post in 2011:
Madonna was talking with a pal of hers. “Like a Virgin” was everywhere on the radio and she said “I wonder when Weird Al is going to do ‘Like a Surgeon.’ ” Madonna’s friend knew my manager, who got back to me with it. I was like “Good idea, Madonna. Thanks!”...
