The raging debate over the use of masks to tackle coronavirus pandemic in US received a satirical treatment on Friday when a comic group, Holderness Family, made light of the situation with lyrics themed around the soundtrack of Hamilton.
The over 4-minute clip presents arguments put by both - the proponents and opponents on the issue - through a call and response presentation.
The lyrics start like this:
"Pardon me, do you have germs, sir?"
"No, I don't -- and that's my business, not yours, sir. I have my rights and have my freedom."
"To be sure, sir..."
"But this corona is a sham."
"I'm getting nervous, sir."
The video, in the end, appears to send out the message that there's no harm in wearing a mask if that can save people from falling into greater trouble.
The video, uploaded on Facebook on Thursday, has so far received over 10 million views. |
