Video: The COVID Connection

[bunsen_h]

I finally got it done and posted.

Watch on YouTube

Latest lyrics are:

Why are there so many songs about COVID
And why do they fill my queue?
People are lonely, and bored, and creative
And people need something to do
Making a video's really not hideous
Getting it perfect's a plus
Someday we'll beat it, the coronavirus
The doctors, the nurses, and us

Who said that ev'ryone should stay social-distanced
When PHYSICAL space is key?
People are social and we need those connections
Or we all go crazy
Pigs, frogs, and humans start coming unglued when
Close contact is too dangerous
Someday we'll beat it, the coronavirus
The doctors, the nurses, and us

All of us singing out loud
And putting our stuff up on YouTube

Have you gone on the net, and have you heard voices?
I figure that's why you're here
Is this a parody protected as satire?
Just watch this and hold my root beer
Spirits are feeling a need for some healing
And music is miraculous
Someday we'll beat it, the coronavirus
The doctors, the nurses, and us

La da da dee da da doo
La la da da la dee da doooo

That was a plausible Kermit voice!

Thank you! I wasn't able to keep it spot-on consistently, but when I watch the video, there are times when I slip into thinking that that's really Kermit singing, and then get yanked out of it when my voice drifts again. Having the visual cues help, I think; when I just listen to the audio, the differences seem more obvious.

So cool. :)

And someone even described the background vidio, which makes it even more fun. :)

-F~

Hi. Sign me up. You've been hosting my earworm... nice lyrics, too!

I have a lot of respect for people who can sing in character, even if it's an impression.

I don't have the guts to sing any of the parodies that I come up with (much less find accompaniment for most of them), so nice job! (Even if I'm late to the party.)
