Damn Dog Got Rabies in Its Teeth

Listening to this song, a snippet of lyrics caught my attention. "My teeth got rabies. I'm gonna give it to you." Wait a second! Rabies virus isn't found in the teeth, is it? When a rabies-infected dog bites a person, wounding him, its saliva enters his body by way of the injured tissue. The virus is in the dog's saliva, not in its teeth. But of course, "My drool got rabies" is hardly rock 'n roll, is it?

Well, at least the rumination above shows that five years I spent in college studying pharmaceutical sciences wasn't a complete waste of time.
