First, it was

Schools close, Tom Hanks, trouble in the big banks, no vaccine, quarantine, no more toilet paper seen.

Travel ban, Weinstein, panic COVID-19, NBA, gone away, what else do I have to sayyyyyy https://t.co/N86qx9wZxq

Twitter user Dana Jay Bein penned not just one verse but has rewritten all of “Bohemian Rhapsody” into “Coronavirus Rhapsody,” and frankly, it’s absolute perfection!

You can read all of the lyrics in their entirety via the Twitter chain below. If I had to pick a favorite rewrite, the obvious winner would be, “I see a little silhouette of a man/what a douche, what a douche/did he even wash his hands though.”

Social distancing certainly isn’t easy, but moments like these where you can have a laugh do provide some bright spots.
