Hypochondria song

I recently got an email from Laura Dolce, who works for a New York newspaper called the Times Herald-Record. She said this:

Dear Stephen:
I'm a reporter working for a daily New York newspaper. I'm currently putting together a story on hypochondriacs ... and was wondering if you'd give us permission to reprint your Hypochondriac Song in our GO Healthy section.

She went on to say that the song very well captures the plight of the hypochondriac, and that they would credit me, plus send me a copy of the paper.

It was an offer I couldn't refuse. Some people said I should have asked for payment - but for a man that publishes his own vanity website, free publication in a newspaper can't be bad :-)
