For the past three months I have lived in isolation. I live alone and have had minimal contact with my neighbors, and no trips to the store or anywhere else as the world has shut down in response to the Coronavirus. Normally this would not bother me as I am a simple person who enjoys his own company but living in what amounts to involuntary confinement has taken a toll on my mental health.

I was given 12 categories and challenged to come up with a song title for each one. I love little brain teasers like this as it really stretches your mental muscles. I promise there are no repeats and I didn’t use the internet (though it was tempting). Social media is full of little games and challenges like this. Rather than limit myself to the walled garden, I’m putting it here on the blog to share with the world. Besides, it gives you some insight into my musical mind.

For the record I was bored as hell when I wrote this. 14 days of self-isolation will do that. However, I felt that putting these words on the blog made sense as we’re all feeling a bit squirrely and being cooped up in doors could make you lose your sense of humor. The following was written to the music of Let it be by the Beatles. Enjoy!
When I catch myself going stir-crazy, I remember CDC says quarantine.
Hear these words of wisdom, keep it clean.
And when you know the person in the office has been to Tokyo, Hong Kong and Belize
heed these words of wisdom… Keep it clean.Keep it clean … keep it clean.
Keep it clean … oh keep it clean.
Avoid Coronavirus and keep it clean.The world is headed towards pandemic, and the orange mofo makes a scene.
Don’t’ believe his bullshit, keep it clean.
Our country has entered a lock down, all because of COVID-19.
Lysol is the answer, keep it clean.Keep it clean … keep it clean.
Keep it clean … oh keep it clean.
Avoid Coronavirus and keep it clean.The ideocracy will not last forever, although it feels like a nightmare dream,
Remember common safety, Keep it clean.
And when we’re back to normal, come together. Love will make the world feel free.
Keep Purell in your pocket, keep it clean.Keep it clean … keep it clean.
Keep it clean … oh keep it clean.
Avoid Coronavirus and keep it clean. -
So there’s this song that is a real earworm for me. Its catchy, its got a beet to it, and best of all, it is down to earth. As an >amateur musician, I am very picky about my jams. This song is off the chains.
What makes an earworm for me is simplicity. The lyrics need to be easy to remember, the music must be bouncing with syncopation, and the content of the song needs to be something that identifies with things that come to mind in an ordinary life. From this song, the second verse stands out.
My friends and I we’ve cracked the code.
We count our dollars on the train to the party.
And everyone who knows us knows,
That we’re fine with this, we didn’t come from money.Now that I’ve hyped up the song, welcome to my new favorite earworm.
