Virtual Sanity. Jamiroquai turned David Bowie‘s “Let’s Dance” into a coronavirus anthem “Lockdown”
As coronavirus paralyzed already most of the world, locking down most of the people at homes. Many of them are getting creative during isolation. Some of the musicians are reworking songs with new, coronavirus inspired lyrics.
Jay Kay, leader of Jamiroquai, made his own COVID-19 version of a David Bowie classic hit. Jamiroquai’s frontman has reworked the lyrics to Bowie’s “Let’s Dance” for a song called “Lockdown”.
The original song was one of the biggest 80’s music hits. It was produced by Nile Rodgers for David Bowie 1983’s same-titled album “Let’s Dance”.
The super catchy dancefloor 80’s banger works as well as mental virtual sanity for COVID-19.
Jay Kay captioned his video post: “Only another 3 months to go…!”
Jamiroquai’s Jay Kay parody version lyrics:
“Lockdown, put on your face mask and watch TV
Lockdown, to the sound of the kids all screaming at me,
Lockdown, trying to avoid the COVID-19
Lockdown, I’ve got a headache, a serious headache.”
“And if you dry cough, I’ll run from you
A fever so high with diarrhea
You know this viral flu is trying to kill you too
If you should run under a bus it is because you’re bored.
Let’s Dance! Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Lockdown! Put on your face mask and watch TV.”

Original David Bowie lyrics:
Let's dance
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Let's dance
To the song they're playin' on the radio
Let's sway
While color lights up your face
Let's sway
Sway through the crowd to an empty space
If you say run
I'll run with you
And if you say hide
We'll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall into my arms
And tremble like a flower
Let's dance
Let's dance
For fear your grace should fall
Let's dance
For fear tonight is all
Let's sway
You could look into my eyes
Let's sway
Under the moonlight, this serious moonlight
And if you say run
I'll run with you
And if you say hide
We'll hide…
