Coronavirus playlist <warning black humour>

Self-isolating with coughing children. I've had a bit of a stinging feeling in my lungs every now and again, but not sure if that's nerves or very mild symptoms. Anyway, since feeling that way I've had The Corrs Breathless stuck in my head.

Any wildly inappropriate song suggestions for a coronavirus playlist?

NB I am not trying to make light of the suffering and death of many around the world, just trying to find some bleak humour in a sad and scary time.

And you know I love it
You know I don't want someone
To come pay a visit"

My DH is singing "I can feel it coming on the air tonight" completely un-ironically.

Haven't read the whole thread, but the song 'If the world was ending (you'd be over right)' JP Saxe and Julia Michaels. When I first heard it about a year ago, I wondered if a man I recently dated and liked a lot, would get in touch if the world was ending. So far there's no sign of him.. 😆

Not just coronavirus, but war all over the globe, climate emergency, floods, bushfire, starvation killing in some parts of world while obesity kills elsewhere, the list of man made disaster goes on, has meant I’ve had this song in my head for a while now thinking how prescient it is. Amused to Death, Roger Waters (sorry this one isn’t that funny)

Here’s just a bit

And when they found our shadows
Grouped around the TV sets
They ran down every lead
They repeated every test
They checked out all the data on their lists
And then the alien anthropologists
Admitted they were still perplexed
But on eliminating every other reason
For our sad demise
They logged the only explanation left
This species has amused itself to death

@GirlYouHaveNoFaithInMedicine glad I'm not the only one! I've rewritten a large chunk of it!

MadisonAvenue I am basically listening to Frank Turner's Be More Kind album on a loop. The songs have never been more apt.

Thanks for making me smile everyone with your suggestions.
