What, no thread yet? Y’all must be standing in line to buy toilet paper. Post songs for your pandemic playlist, preferably with a link!
Nirvana: Smells Like Teen Spirit
With the lights out, it’s less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
The Tubes: Don’t Touch Me There
At this moment of surrender, darling, if you really care
Don’t touch me there.
Covid-19
(oh I swear)
it be mean…
A certain REM song comes to mind (or don’t mind).
The obvious choice.
Whoops, ninja'd.“We gotta get out of this place, if it’s the last thing we ever do…”
No linky.
I don’t even know who sang it.
Van Morrison - T. B. Sheets
Most famous version by the Animals. Great great song.
The Black Crowes - Remedy
Though I suspect that this remedy is rather one of the recreational kind…
Please. Jim Carroll - People Who Died.
Any pandemic needs to be accompanied by Dave Lombardo’s pounding drums, so I’ll go with “Epidemic” by Slayer. (ETA: And judging by the Youtube comments, I’m not the only one who feels that way.)
Let’s rewrite Randy Newman’s SHORT PEOPLE as SICK PEOPLE or DEAD PEOPLE - easy substitutions. Till then, get Peggy Lee’s Fever!
We Shall Not Accept your Quarantine – Diamanda Galas.
REAL quarantine songs:
Italians sing patriotic songs from their balconies during coronavirus lockdown
More singing from Italy:
Coronavirus, nelle città deserte si canta insieme alle finestre: l’effetto è struggente
Viva l’Italia!
Danse Macabre by Camille Saint-Saëns. Old school.
I will survive (news link, others available)
Ha! I thought of that song as soon as I saw the thread title, and then thought “There’s no way it hasn’t been mentioned already!”
