‘Coronavirus Rhapsody’ takes the world by storm with hard hitting lyrics
Updated | By Sinethemba Madolo
With millions practising social distancing and in quarantine across the globe to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus pandemic, people have found new meaning in a decades old song.

A new version of the Queen hit, ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, has gone viral on social media.
The ‘Coronavirus Rhapsody’ is having people singing along, saying while they were still unsure of the exact lyrics written in 1975, this time around they understand the hard hitting words.
A comedian from Cambridge, Dana Jay Bein, transformed the well-known song and adapt it to the new way of living experienced across the globe.
"Is this a sore throat? Is this just allergies?
Caught in a lockdown. No escape from reality.
Don't touch your eyes. Just hand sanitize quickly.
I'm just a poor boy, no job security.
Because of easy spread, even though
washed your hands, laying low.
I looked out the window, the curve doesn't look flatter to me, to me," the parody lyrics go.
People across the world have since recorded their versions of the song, as well as many other hits.
@danajaybein Hope you'll enjoy this...thank you so much for the lyrics! #CoronavirusRhapsody https://t.co/Put4l6KhuL

So I tried singing @danajaybein 's Coronavirus Rhapsody, I forgot how the end parts sounded, I'm used to singing Bohemian Rhapsody with friends, not solo. #coronavirus #CoronaVirusRhapsody pic.twitter.com/qcWrWjhiuL
