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.

Does anyone remember the Sting song 'we work the black seam'
There is a line 'deadly for 12 thousand years is Carbon 14'

I keep hearing it in my head as 'deadly for a thousand days is Covid 19'

Proper got it stuck in my head now!

Work in education our theme is "carry on regardless" by beautiful South. After hearing schools were closing but not closing and we all have to be in work regardless of how many kids were in it seemed apt.
