| Randy Rainbow this Sunday morning released a new, much needed musical video urging social distancing because of the coronavirus |
Rainbow's output of videos seems to be increasing lately. He must be staying at home and making these.
I'm sure his shows are suspended for now. I notice his tour schedule is blank through May 1, at least for now.
He's obeying the social distancing orders to blunt the spread of the coronavirus.
That's what he urges us to do in this latest video, which is a parody of the song "I Can Go The Distance" from "Hercules."
As always, Rainbow starts with a news interview, this time with who he describes as "The dance captain of the coronavirus task force Mike Pence."
Rainbow notes that, at least in Donald Trump's mind, the disease is now called the "Hillary Flu." At first, Rainbow resists Pence's call for social distancing by noting he already has purchased tickets and doesn't want to cancel his Passover plans to participate in the Black Light Underwear Foam Party in Cancun.
Luckily for all of us for a lot of reasons, Rainbow pivots, quickly and wholeheartedly embracing the idea of social distancing as he launches into the song. "I will save the human race by lying on my couch," he vows. Rainbow adds, as he patriotically wraps himself in an American flag, "I'll defeat the enemy by binging 'This Is Us,'"
He concludes by singing "But for now just suck it up and stay the f**k inside," while we see an image of the of-so religious Pence solemnly nodding to the line in approval. Watch:
