From time-to-time, night show host Jimmy Fallon asks his audience on Twitter to help him really nail a hashtag, and I’ve got to say, those are some of my favorite episodes. Regular people, it turns out, are pretty funny.
And listen, the best way to deal with 2020 is to laugh. I think.
Enter these 13 hilariously revised song lyrics that honestly capture the day.
13. If only we could all say this.
Things might be the slightest bit better.
Every tweet you write,
Every time you lie,
Every word you say,
Every single day
I’m fact-checking youuuuuuu#SummerSongs2020— Bobby Markey (@MarkeyTeacher) August 7, 2020
12. That’s like…a whole version.
Commitment is impressive.
Distancing has come and passed
The quarantine can never last
Wake me up when Covid ends
Like my doctors come to pass
Seven weeks has gone so slow
Wake me up when Covid ends
Here comes the sheltering again
Sneezing from the mouth
Breathed in my pain again#SummerSongs2020— Brendan Burke (BB) (@brendanburkeNRT) August 7, 2020
11. This is kind of brilliant.
I want to hear it outside my head.
You got that James Dean quarantine look in your eye
And I got that no haircut, classic thing that you like
And when we plan a vacation, we come back every time
‘Cause we never go outside, we never go outside #summersongs2020— Mama Torment #v1 (@MamaTorment) August 7, 2020
10. Preach, sir.
A song for our times.
All I do is yawn yawn yawn no matter what /
Still got Rona on my mind /
And I’ve really had enough#SummerSongs2020— Ghost 🍀 (@Ghost_7) August 7, 2020
9. You gotta keep dancing.
No question there.
Dancing with a myself,
Oh, oh, dancing with myself
Well, there’s nothing to lose
And a mask I must use well,

8. This should remain a hit forever.
Said the introvert.
“Don’t stand. Don’t stand. Don’t stand so close to me.” #summersongs2020

7. I certainly do.
Theme of the summer!
I like face masks and I can not lie, you other people can’t deny, that when a person walks in with a pretty cover on their face you feel safe #SummerSongs2020

6. If they had, maybe they would have saved their marriage.
Or maybe not. Could go either way, really.
Little diddy about Jack and Diane. They stayed in the house all summer and blew off all their plans. #summersongs2020

5. Why is it always a Rick?
Also, always the frat boys.
“I got my first real sickness
Got it at a house party
Coughed till my lungs bled
Was the summer of ‘2020Me and some guys from school
Shared a drink and got real sick
Jimmy died, Jody got diarrhea
I should’ve known not to touch Rick.”— Mike And Bren Productions (@MikeAndBrenPro1) August 7, 2020
4. “Like” might be a strong word.
The rest of it is spot on, though.
I like face masks and I cannot lie.
Just wear ’em, you don’t wanna die.#SummerSongs2020— P. Rock J. (@P_Rock_J) August 7, 2020
3. It’s the last line that really makes it.
Details, people.
Tastes like fear & worries on a summer evenin’
And it sounds just like apocalypse
I want back 2019 & that summer feeling
When it was wonderful & warm
Don’t breathe me in, don’t breathe me out
I don’t know if I could ever go without
Watermelon printed masks…#SummerSongs2020— Niru (@NirmalaHembram) August 7, 2020
2. Still less creepy than the original.
Don’t @ me.
Every breath you take and every move you make,
Every bond you break, every step you take, I’ll be keeping 6 feet away from you #SummerSongs2020— Vic(Spoo)ki 👻🍀 (@Andwejigglelike) August 7, 2020
1. Don’t you just love the oldies?
They really are the goodies.
Thought 2020 was the year for me
da-do ron-ron-ron
da-do-ron-ron
Little did I know there was Covid19
da-do ron-ron-ron
da-do-ron-ron
Yeah, my life stood still
Yeah, it’s like that still
All I do is stay at home
da-do ron-ron-ron
da-do-ron-ron#SummerSongs2020— Beth Rollinger 🎃 (@JrzyGrlinGA) August 7, 2020
One day I’m going to win one of these hashtag games!
