“My Shit’s Fucked Up” by Warren Zevon
*Well I went to the doctor,
I said, “I’m feeling pretty rough”
“Let me break it to you son,
Your Shit’s fucked up.”
I said, “My shit’s fucked up?
Well I don’t see how.”
He said, “The shit that used to work,
Don’t work now.”*

Came in here specifically to post Peggy Lee’s Fever. Since that has already been done, how about The Sylver’s Boogie Fever?
Dire Straits (again): Industrial Disease
Simon & Garfunkle said it well:
Hiding in my room
Safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me
Gee, that song never sounded so upbeat and hopeful before.
At BoingBoing are a few pandemic playlists to watch the world burn by. Enjoy. While you can.
“Waiting for the End of the World” - Elvis Costello
“Touch Me” - The Doors
I don’t have one yet but a funny thing happened while I was driving a few days ago. The song Freaking Out was on the radio, and I found myself thinking, the title is a good one for a pandemic playlist.
Then the next song that came on was Dangerous, and I thought hey I wonder if they are doing that on purpose?
Then the next song was You Might Be Right. LOL ok maybe the radio is just reading my mind.
The next song was Fever.
