Right now, the coronavirus pandemic is scaring the fuck out of the entire world. It's causing music-festival cancellations and blockbuster-movie-release delays. It's convincing millions of us that we need to hoard bottled water and anti-bacterial wipes. It's got stark implications for the economy and for the coming presidential election. Maybe it'll kill us all! So obviously, someone famous has come up with a novelty song about it.

Yesterday on Twitter, Charli XCX publicly wondered who would be the first to sing about coronavirus, which led to a fun little back-and-forth with the 1975's Matty Healy.
