This is genis.

From:

Is this a sore throat?
Is this just allergies?
Caught in a lockdown
No escape from reality.
Don’t touch your eyes
Just hand sanitize quicklyyyyy
I’m just a poor boy, no job security
Because of easy spread, even though
washed your hands, laying low
I look out the window, the curve doesn’t look flatter to me, to me

Mama, just killed a man
I didn’t stay inside in bed
I walked by him, now he’s dead
Mama, life was so much fun
but now I’ve caught this unforgiving plague

Mama, oooooh
didn’t mean to make them die
if I’m not back to work this time tomorrow
carry on, carry on as if people didn’t matter

Too late, my time has come
sends shivers down my spine
body’s aching all the time
goodbye everybody, I’ve got the flu
gotta leave you all behind and face the truth

Mama, oooooh
I don’t wanna die
I sometimes wish I never went out at all
I see a little silhouette of a man
what a douche, what a douche
did he even wash his hands though
security is tightening
very very frightening me
Gotta lay low (gotta lay low)
Gotta lay low (gotta lay low)
Gotta lay low masturbate
Masturbate O O O O

I’m just a poor boy, facing mortality
HE’S JUST A POOR BOY FACING MORTALITY
spare him his life from this monstrosity
Touch your face, wash your hands, will you wash your hands?
BISMILLAH NO WE WILL NOT WASH OUR HANDS!
(WASH YOUR HANDS!)
BISMILLAH NO WE WILL NOT WASH OUR HANDS!
(WASH YOUR HANDS)
BISMILLAH WE WILL NOT WASH YOUR HANDS! (WASH YOUR HANDS!)
WASH YOUR HANDS!
(never, never, never wash your hands oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)

No no no no no
Oh mama mia, mia
(mama mia wash your hands!)
COVID-19 has a sickness put aside for me, for me
So you think you can stop me and just shake my hand?
So you think we can hang out and not break our plans?
Oh baby, can’t do this with me, baby,
Just gotta stay home, just gotta stay home with my fever
oooooh

Curving can get flatter
Anyone can see
Curving can get flatter
Curving can get flatter, you’ll see

Just look out your windows….

FLATTEN THE CURVE

Well said ikl!
Credit goes to royal!!!

HerRoyalCarbyLess · 21/03/2020 10:58

Thanks iklboo

It was written by me and stolen. (I sent it to a few people on the 16th/17th and it didn't take long at all before it got spread around)

I'm not too fussed to be honest. At least it's bringing joy to people in this difficult time.

I've also done it's a kind of virus.
Will be working in others as and when I get a chance.

If you'd like to share please.feel free to do so from my blog page

It's no problem
As I said, I'm just glad it's out there making people smile in such miserable and strange times.

Bit ironic that Freddie died of an awful disease...
He left lots for us to enjoy still..
As did Kenny Rogers..
RIP

HerRoyalCarbyLess · 21/03/2020 13:23

Freddie did leave lots for us to enjoy.
I love Queen. Maybe I should write an album of altered Queen songs. The best of QuaranQueen?

And yes, RIP to Kenny Rogers. Sad

TheFreaksShallInheritTheEarth · 21/03/2020 13:42

That fantastic, well done @HerRoyalCarbyLess!

"What a douche, what a douche" made me crease up!

HerRoyalCarbyLess · 21/03/2020 13:47

I must admit, I make myself giggle.
I write it as I listen to the real song to make sure it fits and I just kept giggling to myself. I know you're not meant to laugh at yourself, but damn I'm funny sometimes!

My children don't appreciate my hilarity. Miserable buggers. DS1 keeps saying "but it's old music mum"
Yes dear. I know. Believe it or not, it's older than me. I was only born in 91. Doesn't stop it being bloody good though Grin

I'm going to start work on "I want to breathe free" and "another one gets the cough" at some point. It's a great distraction from my mental health difficulties

Windyatthebeach · 21/03/2020 14:41

My ds 4 loves We Wil Rock You and knows all the words!!
Know for a fact he has no clue who Freddie was!

TheFreaksShallInheritTheEarth · 21/03/2020 14:50

Please make sure you post your new masterpieces when you've finished them, @HerRoyalCarbyLess! We all need a laugh right now Grin

HerRoyalCarbyLess · 21/03/2020 14:52

Of course thefreaks Grin

Ooh windy we will wash you?

SunshineAvenue · 21/03/2020 15:12

Just read through the song, very good!

Then read the rest of the thread and am REALLY fucking annoyed. How does someone have the nerve to actually say 'I wrote this' when they didn't. I know you said you're not bothered Royal but it's so dishonest of them and I'd want to call them out on it.

(Or are you really Dana Jay Bein? and don't want to out yourself?)

HerRoyalCarbyLess · 21/03/2020 15:19

No, not the person claiming it as their own. My version had a swear word in it so they've tweaked it slightly. Wink

I was extremely annoyed yesterday when I realised it had been stolen. I've since calmed down and don't give a shit. Life's too short to get stressed about things being stolen on the internet.

TheFreaksShallInheritTheEarth · 21/03/2020 15:36

Has anyone called out the lying plagiariser?

HerRoyalCarbyLess · 21/03/2020 16:26

I've no idea. I've only seen it from screenshots because I'm not on Twitter.
