Let's look at the lighter side of lockdown

Some parts of Australia and many countries around the world are in some stage of lockdown because of COVID-19 right now so it could be time to look at the humorous side of lockdown. 

For a start, pets certainly do well during lockdown. Their owners are home much more and they get to go for lots of regular walks.

Canadian comedian, Chantal Desjardins, was getting a bit bored when she was in isolation with her fiancé during the first lockdown in 2020.

She was at home with her pets in Montreal so she decided to use an app on her phone and have some fun with Cooper, her 7-week-old mini-bernedoodle.

After drinking a few wines, Desjardins said: “Before I knew it, I had an entire corona song written from a dog’s perspective.”

She posted a video of Cooper singing Gloria Gaynor’s anthem I Will Survive in a high-pitched voice but with the lyrics updated to reflect the current situation. It’s all about Cooper having a good time in lockdown because his owners are home a lot more – a situation reflected around many parts the globe right now.

The video has now been viewed by half a million people and shared many times.

As Cooper sings: “We played fetch for seven hours in the backyard in the sun. I don’t know what a pandemic is, but it sure is good for me!”

Here’s another classic to take a look at. This is Julie Andrews and the Sound of Music Covid 19 song.

And to voice what many of us are feeling with Coronavirus returning this year after we thought it would have gone away by now, here's My Corona Part 2 (One Year Later) – A Chris Mann Vaccine Parody.
