L'aura del Campo

You got the virus! [210]

"I Gotta Feeling" by The Black Eyed Peas came out in 2009. Feel good times? I'm not feeling it. I live next to a casino where young and old spit in each other's faces. I'm dealing with it. But I've always been a serious person and this song conveys the message "live fast, die young, leave a good looking corpse." So inappropriate for Covid 2020.

So I write anti-lyrics:

You got the virus

slim and trim
showing your skin
you sway
to the beat

who got the virus

so nineteen-eighty
so sick with a.i.d.s
so nineteen-twenty
so sick, afraid

as you sway
as you sway
as you sway

who got the virus

slim and trim
showing you skin

have you prayed
have you prayed
that grandma stays well
have you prayed

she won't get the virus

drink in one hand
party as you bop
not afraid of the virus
dance till you drop

slim and trim
showing your skin
you'll look great in the coffin
is that you that's coughin'?

as you sway
as you sway
do you pray
do you pray

you won't catch the virus

too late, too late,
i got the virus
now you got the virus
and your grandma too

Although it's a party song, this is a video with lyrics but without the drinking and partying:
