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…
