We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together

This parody (written by Greg Crowther) is sung to the tune of "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" (written by Taylor Swift, Max Martin, and Shellback and performed by Taylor Swift).

Context

This song is sung by an oligodendrocyte to a damaged spinal-cord neuron for which she used to provide myelin.

Lyrics

I remember when you broke apart in pieces,
Severed by the trauma of a spine fracture.
You haven't seen progress in a month;
Glial scarring fills up space. (What?)

Then you come around again and say, "Ollie,
I miss you and I swear I could regrow; trust me!"
Remember this is not the PNS;
I'm not a Schwann cell; you're broken; I can't help; I'm sorry!

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh!)
I'm just an oligodendrocyte!
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh!)
This time, I'm telling you, I'm telling you...

We are never ever ever getting back together!
We are never ever ever getting back together!
Neurons talk to neurons through their axons wrapped in sheaths,
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together!
Like, ever!
