Move B*****, by Ludacris

Never in a million years did I expect Ludacris to create so numerous songs suitable for social distancing.

WHEN YOU’RE FEELIN’ LONELY TEARDROPS

I think We’re Alone Now, by Tiffany

Isolation lyrics at their finest.

So far Away, Carole King

The song that plays in my head when I see all the cats I want to pet.

Please delight in the unblended contour while you sing along to the catchy chorus (“Only the lonely can play!”).

Girl, you know I had to do it. ?

This song is all of us.

Don’t get around much Anymore, by Nat King Cole

Well, I walk around the neighborhood. That’s about it.

I give it two years.

Hold On, by Wilson Philips

Hang in there, and remember it’s not gonna last forever (even if it feels like it).

Kiss Them For Me, Siouxsie and the Banshees

I may be delayed.

To Be With You, by Mr. Big

I mostly love this for the big hair, TBH.

What You Waiting For, by Gwen Stefani

Dear Gwen, I’m waiting for someone on the other end of this EDD help line to pick up the call.

Patience, by guns ‘N’ Roses

Apparently, I have no much more left. (That’s what happens when you’re on hold for 45 minutes before being hung up on.)

SONGS FOR SWEATING IT OUT

Wait till I douse it with Lysol first!

No, I haven’t danced with myself lately, but when I do, it will be to this song.
