This coronavirus version of Bohemian Rhapsody is very funny and so well done
Our thanks to comedian @danajaybein who has given the lyrics of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody a coronavirus makeover.
It’s clever, funny, and manages to squeeze in an important – the most important – message as well. Best read while singing out loud, obviously.
I've lost my mind.
I wrote Coronavirus Rhapsody:
Is this a sore throat?
Is this just allergies?
Caught in a lockdown
No escape from reality.— Dana Jay Bein (#DJB) (@danajaybein) March 18, 2020
Don’t touch your eyes
Just hand sanitize quicklyyyyy
I’m just a poor boy, no job security
Because of easy spread, even though
washed your hands, laying low
I look out the window, the curve doesn’t look flatter to me, to me— Dana Jay Bein (#DJB) (@danajaybein) March 18, 2020
mama, just killed a man
i didn’t stay inside in bed
I walked by him, now he’s dead
mama, life was so much fun
but now I’ve caught this unforgiving plague— Dana Jay Bein (#DJB) (@danajaybein) March 18, 2020
mama, oooooh
didn’t mean to make them die
if I’m not back to work this time tomorrow
carry on, carry on as if people didn’t matter— Dana Jay Bein (#DJB) (@danajaybein) March 18, 2020
oo late, my time has come
sends shivers down my spine
body’s aching all the time
goodbye everybody, I’ve got the flu
gotta leave you all behind and face the truth— Dana Jay Bein (#DJB) (@danajaybein) March 18, 2020
mama, oooooh
I don’t wanna die
I sometimes wish I never went out at all— Dana Jay Bein (#DJB) (@danajaybein) March 18, 2020
I see a little silhouette of a man
what a douche, what a douche
did he even wash his hands though
security is tightening
very very frightening me
Gotta lay low (gotta lay low)
Gotta lay low (gotta lay low)
Gotta lay low masturbate
Masturbate O O O O— Dana Jay Bein (#DJB) (@danajaybein) March 18, 2020
I’m just a poor boy, facing mortality
HE’S JUST A POOR BOY FACING MORTALITY

Touch your face, wash your hands, will you wash your hands?

COVID-19 has a sickness put aside for me, for me— Dana Jay Bein (#DJB) (@danajaybein) March 18, 2020
So you think you can stop me and just shake my hand?
So you think we can hang out and not break our plans?
Oh baby, can’t do this with me, baby,
Just gotta stay home, just gotta stay home with my fever— Dana Jay Bein (#DJB) (@danajaybein) March 18, 2020

Curving can get flatter
Anyone can see
Curving can get flatter
Curving can get flatter, you’ll seeJust look out your windows….
