You might not have known you wanted a coronavirus-related jam, but David Sikabwe has delivered one to us nonetheless. And damn if it isn't good.
His ballad "Quarantine with Me" — which has already racked up its fair share of likes on Twitter — is catchy, almost strangely beautiful, and full of good information about the coronavirus. There's also some very funny lines, including, "You and me in bed alone / I'll go beneath the covers and pretend like I am the Dow Jones."
Sikabwe, a 22-year-old college student at UT Austin, told Mashable over DMs that he especially likes that line.
"I'm quite proud of the 'Dow Jones' line," he wrote. "I try to be pretty family friendly online and it's pretty raunchy, but I couldn't resist."
As for why he wrote the song — basically his sentiment was why not?
"The song was really just a random idea I had," he said. "There are a lot of songs written about staying at home with someone you care about like 'Nothing' by Bruno Major and 'Do You Wanna Do Nothing with Me' by Lawrence. I figured that sentiment had a special significance with the looming specter of this disease."
