Parody Music To Help Get You Through Pandemic Isolation

Chris Mann trapped indoors like the rest of us due to coronavirus
I certainly get it that the coronavirus pandemic is one of the greatest tragedies in modern history. Depressingly, it will only get worse before it gets better.

To stay sane through this, I think we all need some gallows humor to help us get through it.  Singer/Songwriter Chris Mann to the rescue.

He's had a serious and successful music career ever since he was a finalist on The Voice in 2012.

Lately, though, he's been putting out parody videos of how his stay at home is going. Spoiler alert: Not that great.

Mann is among millions of us going stir crazy at home, trying to maintain the social distancing we all hope will blunt the coronavirus impact.  I'm sure Mann's YouTube channel will have more in the coming days and weeks.

So let's enjoy what he's got so far.  in addition to "My Corona," a parody of the bad 1979 hit "My Sharona," we have two other even better ones.

First, we'll bring you "Hello (From The Inside)" a parody of the heartbreaking Adele song "Hello" from 2015.  Mann's version is heartbreaking in quite a different way. Click on the this sentence to watch it. Totally worth it.

Up next, we go back a little further to Madonna's "Vogue"

I especially like the sort of semi-wrap part in the middle starting at about 2:20 in:
