Monster Hospital is a song by Metric from their album Live It Out.
The song is about being held down against their will. "Monster Hospital" might be a metaphor for an abusive and controlling person or government.
The song makes reference to Bobby Fuller and the chorus tributes his hit song I Fought the Law replacing "Law" with "War". It may also have a reference to Daddy Warbucks from Annie. They performed the song at the MuchMusic Video Awards in 2006.
