If I Knew American Pop Culture Better Than I Do, …

I'd have had some funny link between Judge Sinatra's First Amendment / coronavirus / live music opinion discussed in the post below and Frank Sinatra's songs. (I thought about saying that Michael Hund can now do things his way, but that seemed not good enough.) But I'm sure you folks can rise to the occasion! One-liners, stanzas, entire song adaptations, all would work; show us what you've got ….

I think the obvious one for coronavirus would be Frank's "I Got You Under My Skin."

" I've got you under my skin
I have got you, deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin."

[Sebastian Cremmington]

Start spreading the virus...

[Dilan Esper]

Can't fly with me, the hotspots are all closed
If you could use some exotic booze
It's domestic beer today
Can't fly with me, the airport is locked down

Can't fly with me, the middle seats are blocked
The rules say that I must stay 6 feet away from you
Can't fly with me, we're quarantined tonight

We can go get tested
By the folks in PPE
The Q-tip will go
Straight up my nose

And if we're negative
I'll be waiting my dear
Because my dear
We aren't clear, cause we're still exposed

Weather-wise it's getting really cold
Just grab your coat and put on your mask, because the virus spreads they say
It's a perfect time for transmission today
Can't fly with me, can't even dine this day.

"Someone To Watch over Me" is not a paean to big government.

[Jeff Walden]

I get a kick out of you, Eugene.

If an appeal is filed, the Rhythm of Life Church has announced that it will intervene in this case arguing the First Amendment's protection of religious freedom. The Church was founded by Big Daddy Brubeck from Sweet Charity and operates to celebrate live music, freedom and life.
****************
Daddy started out in San Francisco
Tootin' on his trumpet loud and mean
Suddenly a voice said, "Go forth, Daddy
Spread the picture on a wider screen"

And the voice said, "Brother, there's a million pigeons
Ready to be hooked on new religions
Hit the road, Daddy, leave your common law wife
Spread the religion of the rhythm of life"

And the rhythm of life is a powerful beat
Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet
Rhythm in your bedroom, rhythm in the street
Yes, the rhythm of life is a powerful beat

To feel the rhythm of life
To feel the powerful beat
To feel the tingle in your fingers
To feel the tingle in your feet

Daddy spread the gospel in Milwaukee
Took his walkie talkie to Rocky Ridge
Blew his way to Canton then to Scranton
Till he landed under the Manhattan Bridge

Daddy was the new sensation
Got himself a congregation
Built up quite an operation down below

The brief will consist of the Sammy Davis Jr Rhythm of Life video.

Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars.
Let me see what dancing's like
On Jupiter and Mars.

Oh wait, that is government before all this. Sorry.
