Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Coronavirus Songs (COVID-19; Pandemic)
Has anyone else found that there isn’t a lot of interest out there now for Coronavirus songs, be they serious or comical? Having come up with several during the dark days of 2020-21, when we all had time on our hands, I thought people would enjoy seeing the funny side of it all when we came out the other side, apart from those of us who lost loved ones of course. I recall Youtube song parodies were attracting huge numbers of hits during the lockdowns, but I guess we welcomed some light relief at the time. Is it just too soon to joke about? Or is it that people are embarrassed about it all now and want to draw a line under it and move on? Then again, I suppose topical comic songs tend to have a limited shelf life anyway.
