Two grandmothers lifted spirits during the COVID-19 lockdown with their viral parody song ‘Coronavirus Blues,’ which made thousands of people laugh when they needed it most.
During the pandemic, we watched God work in amazing ways through ordinary people. While the world struggled with the unknown, He showed us that we could still find moments to laugh together. It reminded us that even in tough times, a little joy can go a long way in keeping our spirits up and our faith strong.
These caring grandmas poured their hearts into creating the ‘Coronavirus Blues,’ singing about what life was like when we all stayed home. Their song hit home for so many people who dealt with empty store shelves and tried to follow health guidelines. When they sang,
Left my home about a quarter to four
Looking for toilet paper and their ain’t no more.
I’ve got the Coronavirus blues.
Yeah, the Coronavirus blues.
….everyone who had searched for toilet paper nodded in agreement.
The song’s chorus spoke to how we all felt being stuck at home.
Self-quarantine is for the birds.
What we gotta do is just flatten the curve.
I said, flatten that curve.
Yeah, flatten that curve.
Their video touched many hearts, especially among older adults who felt alone. One homebound senior wrote, “You two are great. Thanks putting a smile on this shut-in senior’s face.”
Someone else shared, “Thank you ladies for putting a smile on my face..Be safe.” Their fun song brought light to thousands of people who really needed something to smile about.
God often works through unexpected people to share His love and joy. These grandmothers probably didn’t know their silly song would help so many people get through such a hard time.
When we look back at the pandemic now, we remember not just the hard parts, but also these bright moments that brought us together and gave us strength.
