The stories behind Same Bar, Second Life

• The Horn Section Behind "Same Bar, Second Life" — A son montuno groove built for a sustainability campaign gets a slower, brassier second take built around call-and-response.
• Same Bar, Second Life: The Salsa Song About Giving Devices a Second Use — A high-energy salsa number celebrates single-use medical devices that get a legal, regulated second life instead of the landfill.

Lyrics

They stamped it, throw me away, but the label ain't the end

Give it a second life, same bar, same bar, my friend

Somebody built a whole careful trade

To clean it, to test it, the same rules stay

Same review, same checks, same paper trail

One use never meant it's gone forever, no

fail Same bar, second life, nothing's thrown

away Just because the label said so

Same rules, same review, no shortcut, no lie

Give the good ones a second life

A 200 -bed hospital, counting all its sakes

Hundreds of thousands,

dancing past the waste

Of the landfill pile it never had to be

Same safety, lower cost

That's the recipe Same bar, second life

Nothing's thrown away Just because the label said so

Same rules, same review, no shortcut, no lie

Give the good ones a second life

Throw it away, no, no, no

Test it again, see, see, see

Same bar as new, that's the only way

Give it a second life, second life today

Same bar, second life

Nothing's thrown away Just because the label said so

Same rules, same review, no shortcut, no lie

Give the good ones a second life

Second life Same bar, same bar, same review

Dale, dale Good as new
