A couple by Depeche Mode spring to mind:-
Shake the Disease.
Enjoy the silence.

Doesn't immediately spring to mind, but Billy Joel's Innocent Man:

Some people stay far away from the door
if there's a chance of it opening up
they hear a voice in the hall outside
and hope that it just passes by
...
some people hope for a miracle cure
some people just accept the world as it is
but I'm not willing to lay down and die

Don't Stand So Close To me
Take My Breath Away
Work From Home

There are whole coronavirus playlists on spotify..

Destinysdaughter · 24/03/2020 13:29

Bat out of Hell
Its the end of the world as we know it
Fever
Ghost Town
Stayin Alive

( I have given this a lot of thought as I don't have much to do right now! )

Corona: Rhythm of The Night

TheSummoningDark · 24/03/2020 14:07

This came on the radio earlier

On The Turning Away - Pink Floyd

On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand

"Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away"

It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting it's shroud
Over all we have known

Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud

On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord

Using words you will find are strange
And mesmerized as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night

No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside

Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away

My Corona - The Knack

5littlespeckledDogs · 24/03/2020 14:17

You give me fever
Night fever
I think we're alone now
Just don't know what to do with myself

Waspie · 24/03/2020 14:25

Ill Communication - Beastie Boys
Panic - The Smiths
Can't get no (loo roll) - The Rolling Stones Grin

Waspie · 24/03/2020 14:32

Schools Out - Alice Cooper

Babdoc · 24/03/2020 14:36

If you haven’t already seen it, listen to the “Covid 19, Come on Eileen” parody on Youtube, it’s hilarious! And matches the original metre so well, especially the chorus about “Don’t you stockpile the loo roll”.

TheSummoningDark · 24/03/2020 14:40

Who would've guessed that The Darkness would be right when they released their new album

Easter Is Cancelled

Damnloginpopup · 24/03/2020 23:26

Sex Pistols - Bodies.

Ive been unable to get out my head for the last few weeks:

Corona-virus, is coming down the stairs,
Corona - virus is doo do do do do...

(Banana's in pajamas obviously)

The worst is its stuck in my head constantly even in serious situations 🙈

Tillygetsit · 25/03/2020 01:46

My dh has been singing "This is the self isolation society". It was funny for the first ten minutes...

Oldraver · 25/03/2020 09:18

I can't get rid of a little ditty in my head

On the first day of lockdown my teen said to me
Laptop screen is blank so no homework for me

On the second day of lockdown myself said to me
Fuck,spilt coffee, don't you know we're on rations

On the third day of lockdown Asda delivery said
Ha don't be smug you got a slot, your town is invalid

On the fourth day of lockdown Amazon said to me
Nope don't have the monitor we've got your money and will send it .... sometime

Oldraver · 25/03/2020 09:19

Doesn't rhyme but feel to add 😅

Oldraver · 25/03/2020 09:28

OMG whoever posted about the Covid Come on Eileen, thank you

I got into a Chris Mann wormhole
