A few weeks ago I debuted Disco-Punk Dance Party — my first coronavirus mixtape for all you music maniacs. Back then I encouraged you to take a listen and throw a dance party in your living room. And while we’re not as deep as we were in lockdown mode, many of us are indeed still sheltering in place.
Enter my new COVID mix — Rock Your Antibody.
This one is different in that it is much more mainstream, has more hip-hop, pop, a few more ’80s hit singles as well as more indie stuff. Some key lyrics:
The crown-jewel of this mixtape, the anchor of Rock Your Antibody is the excellent Foo Fighters track “Times Like These.”
Foo Fighters — “Times Like These”
It’s times like these we learn to live again
It’s times like these we give and give again
It’s times like these we learn to love again
It’s times like these time and time again
Matt & Kim – “Now”
I know that things aren’t perfect
But let’s make tonight worth it
Stand up right here take a bow
And we will all ride this thing down
Outkast — “Hey Ya”
Shake it like a Polaroid picture
Bob Marley — “Trenchtown Rock”
One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain
One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain
So hit me with music, hit me with music now, yeah
Hit me with music, hit me with music now
The Go-Gos — “We Got the Beat”
Everybody get on your feet
We got the beat
We know you can dance to the beat
We got the beat
Jumpin’ and get down
We got the beat
Round and round and round
Michael Jackson — “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”
Keep on, with the force don’t stop
Don’t stop ’til you get enough
Indeed, don’t stop ’til you get enough. Get into the groove. Dance ’til ya can’t dance ’til ya can’t dance no more. After you’re done dancing to the new mix, revisit COVID-19 Kryptonite Vol. 1. Enjoy!
