about

Kevie wrote the lyrics to this song in early March, 2020, just before the coronavirus lockdown was announced in western Canada. Not having access to a recording studio as the lockdown got underway, he recorded the vocals on his phone (extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures) and sent them along to Mikie, who set them to music at his studio while under lockdown in Wiesbaden, Germany.

We hope you’ll enjoy this fun and funky public service announcement. Be well, stay safe, wash your hands—and by all means don’t touch your face!

lyrics

Don’t hang out in a crowd
Don’t come to work if you’re sick
Don’t punch me in the face at costco
Stop being a dick
Don’t go on a cruise
Those are such a disgrace
Just make some plans to wash your hands
And stop touching your face

Don’t try holding my hand
Don’t try to hug me or kiss me,
But send a smile from across the miles
Just to let me know that you miss me
If we can’t be together tonight
We can get together on Skype
And we’ll flatten the curve
With some mutual lurv (sorry!)
The kind of social distancing
I’d like to observe

Stop touching your face,
Stop touching your face!
’Cause everything that you touch
Can infect you so much
And turn you into a hospital case
Stay out of my personal space

We’re both spreading germs all over the place!
If you wanna stay well
Take a bath in Purell
And stop touching your face
Stop touching your face
Stop touching your face
