Well, SatW did a comic about getting this song stuck in their head during discussions of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, so I decided to do up a full redo of the lyrics from scratch. For your listening pleasure(?):
Ooh, my little bitty one, from Wuhan
When you gonna give me some (time, Corona!)
Ooh, you make my nares run, my nares run
Got grit coming off of my (eyes, Corona!)
Never gonna stop, love queuing up, such a dirty line
Always reachin’ up, touching faces of the younger kind
My, my, my, ay, ay, woah!
M-m-m-my Corona!
My Corona!Come a little closer, huh, ah, will ya, huh
Close enough to get in my eyes, Corona!
Novel viral mystery, you get to me
Hopping borders on air lines, CoronaNever gonna stop, love queuing up, such a dirty line
Always reachin’ up, touching faces of the younger kind
My, my, my, ay, ay, woah!
M-m-m-my Corona!
M-m-m-my Corona!Na, na, na, na, na-na
My Corona!
When you gonna get to me? get to me?
Is it just a matter of (time, Corona)?
It is just a matter of (time, Corona)…
It is!
On facebook, the joke is COVID-19 sounds like “Come On, Eileen”.
It has been stuck in my head for days, now yours too. You’re welcome.
@Intransitive:
Same general era. Imma gonna look up how closely the songs were released… June 79 (Sharona) and June 82 (Eileen). So, not as close together as I might have thought. Interesting.
Also? if you’ve seen a complete write up of Come On Eileen’s lyrics for the COVID-19 era, feel free to drop a link here. I don’t facebook, but others do.
