Okay. Here's a FINAL FINAL (meaningless term - lol) draft. First and second drafts below.
Any more suggestions for changes accepted now.Plan is to record vocals Saturday 04/04/2020.
Biggest changes made here were to the first verse, the beginning of each verse AND
mostly to the chorus, to make it MORE generic. (the original idea)Again, special thanks to Andrea, RK and Aaron G.

FINAL FINAL DRAFT
Title: That Thing Goin' 'Round (special thanks to Andrea, RK and Aaron G)
Track Time: 00:00 Tempo/BPM: 130
VS 1
Have you heard about it -
COVID-19 goin' 'round?
Seems to be spreadin' -
all over town
Hard to keep from gettin' -
you down
That corona virus -
has been given a crown
Have you heard about
that thing goin' 'round?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CH
Have you heard 'bout it?
That thing goin' 'round
Across the sea - over hill and dale
Target-ing - both strong and frail
Challenges that we all share
Soon will be found everywhere
Have you heard about
that thing goin' 'round?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
VS 2
Have you heard about it -
that virus goin' 'round?
Gotta keep your distance
or you're goin' down
Cover your mouth
and wash your hands
That's the news
across the land
Have you heard about
that thing goin' 'round?
CH
VS 3
Have you heard about it -
shortages goin' 'round?
The world ran out of toilet rolls,
hand sanitizer and pasta to boil
The store shelves are empty
but the parking lot is full
Infection rates are rising
as the stock markets fall
Have you heard about
that thing goin' 'round?
CH
VS 4
Have you heard about it -
isolation goin' 'round?
Can't go to the office -
they're all closed down
Caught on camera
helping folks who need ya
As evidence trending now
on social media
Have you heard about
that thing goin' 'round?
CH/ending -- slower
We're now in a downward spiral
I hope at least this song goes viral
And if we're brought down to our knees
don't forget to look up please
Take care of the ones you love
We'll survive with some help from above
Have you heard about
that thing goin' 'round?

FIRST DRAFT ---
This title/concept was inspired when I heard someone refer to a company being shut down as, "A lot of that going around."
Which could also be said of a contagion.
I roughed out some lyrics below.
But rather than work it up to my usual presentation level,
I left it a little rough so we could all work on it together.
So, input definitely welcome.
I hear this in a 1940s Pop/Jazz style accompaniment.
But open to other ideas.

It's awesome Sketch. I was wondering who would be the first to write about everything happening in the world.
Should have known it would be you.
It's scary to think about how all this is going to play out.
What's the endgame? All we can do is try to follow protocol by being safe, washing our hands, and not leaving the house unless it's absolutely necessary.
And prayer. Prayer is always a good thing.
Stay safe, friend.

Thanks, Sam.
One of my favorite guitarists, Mateus Asato, started a series titled:
The Quarantine Sessions (links to a couple of tracks below)
The Quarantine Sessions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOq9mYqPEwU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lYSmFufN3c
I was lamenting because I wanted to make a statement about
these extraordinary times as well. But I am already months behind on
my demo recordings. I simply do not have time for it.
Then I read a comment that spurred an idea. I wrote it down,
but was still not sure if I had time to pursue it. I launched a new
Evernote page for a new series of song lyrics and typed in the title.
Took a stab at it yesterday and then came back today to finish up.
I thought it would make an interesting forum project. See how it goes.

Hey there,
after reading the piece over and over I'd like to add something that expresses how we here in GER feel.
Something like:
Have you heard about
that thing goin' 'round?
Self-appointed sheriffs
That is no lie
The people start to get mean
and outside nothing stays unseen
With the first light of the sun
the „spy“ awakes in every one
Have you heard about
that thing goin' 'round?
tgc and please be safe!
RK

That's interesting. Thanks.
Made me think about the martial law aspect.
But I don't think that is what you are saying.
You wrote "Self-appointed sheriffs".
What do you see happening where you are?

Hi Steve, I like the vibe on this. I'll try to add something an idea.
Have you heard about
that thing goin' 'round?
sick tally is up
stack market is down
They closed all the bridges
there is no where to run
social distance yourself
to kingdom come

Hey,
Let me try to explain it.
The government gave us very drastic rules to obey to stop a possible shutdown of whole Germany. We have to stay inside the house and are not allowed to have personal contact with anybody that is not a part of our closest family. You are only allowed to go to the grocery store real quick or take your dog for a walk. If you have a special permission you are allowed to go to work but even there you have to follow the rules, which means no talking to others and stuff like that.
Outside we are not allowed to interact with more than one person. Groups of more than 2 ppl are not allowed and even the ppl that work in minor important medical professions aren’t allowed to work.
So much about the rules.
But now, after weeks of rain and bad weather the sun came out. Spring arrived and many want to go outside.
And you won’t believe the number of ppl that started reporting things they saw on Facebook and other social media. They even take pictures of playing kids and write stuff like: how can this happen? The police needs to go there immediately....and so on. Yeah sometimes you really facepalm yourself when you read some of the stuff that’s not allowed but going on in public, but you get the feeling, that there might be some kind of „see-it-all“ neighbor behind some of the bushes that only waits...to take pictures when you give 2 kids their football back or if you wanna help an older couple carrying their groceries. We all know how dangerous this is and that we all have to protect ourselves but some here really behave as if the „Stasi“ still exists.
So I guess what I really wanted to say is, that situations like this can be good because we start thinking and get closer together as a community, but there are also those ppl that play „Mr. Very important“ and show the own mean character to the world. I mean imagine you are outside and you have to sneeze....and you start thinking: I hope no one saw this or heared this....and 20 min later you find a pic of yourself on Facebook with words like: why ain’t he in quarantine yet?!
So I guess this whole situation is also a time when ppl show the weaknesses of their character and Ego.
Besides that, we already had fights in supermarkets about cans of beans.... and I personally think, that this is a dangerous way to go and we need to stop that right away! But as long as there are some ppl having „corona-virus-parties“ at home, there will also be an „impo(r)tant“ person that takes a picture of you while you sneeze outside.
Oh This explanation got a little long but I hope you see my point and the two blades of the sword.

I'll like the directional observation about sick tally up and stock market down.
Have they actually closed roadways and bridges where you live?
That's pretty scary.

Very helpful explanation, thanks.
Can you take another try at those lyrics with what you wrote in mind?
I like the word "spies" you were using. Or maybe snitches, or informants,
tattle tales... Also the idea of peeking through bushes or over fences to rat-out (rat on)
neighbors. And the social media aspect. Helped an elder couple and now I'm
criticized (now featured - or trending) on Facebook (like a crook - rhymes)
Wow. this is fun. - lol

Hey,
Yvw and I promise that I will give it another try. Thanks for your ideas for the lyrics. I hope I find a way to put all I feel in these few lines. Cause in fact I’m so mad about this that I could write an exclusive „new Stasi-founded!?“ song about this.

Emotion is the BEST place to write from. Express yourself however you can.
And it might not be a "one or the other" situation, but BOTH.
You have my support no matter how this works out for you.
May peace and blessings be upon you and your family.

They haven't closed the bridges yet, but they are talking about closing all the bridges to NYC. There are over 12,000 confirmed cases in NYC so I think closing the bridges will keep them all on an island and stop the spread out of NYC. They probably won't close the bridges near me (about 90 minutes from NYC). I sure hope they don't until my son returns from college. I want him to stay in Binghamton for now because they have very few reposted cases.
Unlike RK, the sun just came out, so my family will probably go out for a walk in the neighborhood soon.
Stay safe

Thanks for the update from your state. (that rhymes - lol)
Speaking of bridges, I'm glad I don't "burn them" with previous employers.
My office is closed but I reached out to a few previous employers.
One of whom booked a day of work for me later this week. Sweet.
I need to get some rest though. I am suffering from whiplash from being
rear-ended in an auto accident last week. I'm in a bit of pain.
It only hurts when I get stressed out.

Car accidents suck. Sorry you were hurt. Not a good time to go see a doctor though, so I hope you feel better soon. Work is a tough situation for many with so many places shut down. My husband and son are working from home. Glad they are working, can't wait until they go back to offices!

Been out with the dog and this came to my mind:
Sneezing in public makes you a witch
Friendly neighbors have a perfect pitch
These Stoolies always „have a look“
Later you find your picture on Facebook
Don’t know in what bushes they hide
But they stay there until ya‘ identified
Don’t know if it fits but maybe you can put it right. Got a little „head trouble“ atm.
BTW we just got the new government rules...
Meeting with more than 2 ppl is 200€
Visiting a hospital or a seniors residence also 200€
If you open your bar or café....it’s 4000€ the first time climbing up to 25.000€ if you try it repeatedly.
I also found videos of the famous, always crowded German Autobahn (highway).....it’s empty.... I mean in some areas you have 10 cars per half an hour!
Anyway I will rest a little. Already in a dark room. And sorry to hear that you have had an accident! Hope your better soon!

If you open your bar or café....it’s 4000€ the first time climbing up to 25.000€ if you try it repeatedly.
I also found videos of the famous, always crowded German Autobahn (highway).....it’s empty.... I mean in some areas you have 10 cars per half an hour!
Anyway I will rest a little. Already in a dark room. And sorry to hear that you have had an accident! Hope your better soon!

Those are some good ideas for lyrics. Thanks for the input. (and additional effort)
Wow. Those fines are crazy. They really sound serious about this.
Do those measures seem justified in the least by the heath situation?
I'm guessing you will say, "No!"
I don't know of anyone who is sick, or that knows anyone who is sick.
It does concern me to find out that this was a leak from a biological weapons lab.
There is a connection with a lab in Canada with the one in China.
The very city of the outbreak. Here's a link to part one of a short series of three videos.

Very informative.
These biological weapon viruses are actually patented as inventions. WTF?
Valuable inventions that need infringement protection, I guess.
Valuable to whom?

My husband and son are working from home. Glad they are working, can't wait until they go back to offices!
Thanks, Andrea.
I was able to see my personal Chiropractor.
He works out of his home and is still seeing patients.
We were both surprised to find all my bones in alignment.
The whiplash is muscular. So, I just need to get some rest and heal.
Good timing with little work to do now.
But we are all itching to get back to it. This is bad.
I hope your situation improves quickly as well.
Especially with family in various places.

All I can say is, these punishments are needed. There are still some crazy ppl out there having „virus-Partys“ with friends and neighbors. The most „braindead“ thing I heared today is that some youngsters use all this to test their courage. One of this tests was to lick the hands area of an escalator in some mall in Bavaria. They still aren’t sure if the guy who did it has IT or not. Amazing mh?
Over here we have some famous politicians that got the virus, so that even our chancellor-ette had chosen to go in quarantine for a few weeks and have some tests done.
We have heared that the new orders we got already should have helped. But that’s it, no further info on that.

Ps: enjoy playing with my lyrics 😉

I remember you mentioned the virus parties earlier.
What does that involve?

Mostly just „normal“ partys 🥳 with lots of ppl and music and dance and so on. While, I told you, meetings with more than 2 ppl are forbidden and are punished with 200€. Meetings with over 10 ppl (party) are criminal acts now and those ppl can party in jail now.
