The stories behind Thermometer to MRI

• The Galloping Guitars Behind 'Thermometer to MRI' — This take on the field's namesake anthem leans a little more polished, trading some of the raw twin-guitar attack for a smoother, synth-touched finish.
• The Whole Field in One Anthem: What 'Thermometer to MRI' Is About — A galloping heavy-metal anthem tries to name an entire profession at once, from the smallest thermometer to the largest machine in the building.

Lyrics

From the thermometer to the magnet in the wall

Somebody wrote a name on every two letters

Spinning to the fight

Thermometer to MRI We keep the whole fleet

running, running right Every wire, every screw, every gauge

The guy nobody put up on the stage

Depot boxes riding out on the interstate

A loader rolls in before the ward can wait

The OEM don't answer near as fast

So we open up the case and read the

past

Thermometer to MRI We keep the whole thing running,

running right Every wire, every screw, every gauge

The guy nobody put up on the stage

Nobody taught you our name in school

But every ward in the building runs by our rule

Call us the ones who keep the count

We are the field the world forgot to shout about

Thermometer to MRI

We keep the whole thing running, running right

Every wire, every screw, every gauge

The guy nobody put up

We own the stage

We own the stage

Over 12 ,000 strong

And still we rise
