Zoom Boy

by Soda Gun

supported by

ktaquarius Favorite line “I would happily bask in your contagion.” This song, while Covid specific, captures the magic of any zoom call where romance may be in the air. It also has a killer chord progression in the middle which I’m pulled back to listening to over and over! Thanks Soda Gun! Favorite track: Zoom Boy.

Philip Graham Captures the cultural Covid mood, with a backbeat.

about

A COVID-19 pop song for your socially-distanced summer fun!

lyrics

You're just a face on zoom
So why do I smell perfume
And know somehow this meeting
Will be fleeting

I'm under quarantine
I've got COVID-19
Or something in between
They can't tell me

I want to go out tonight
Please can we go out tonight

Would you meet me if I asked
We could both wear medical masks
Or I would happily bask
In your contagion

Even if you only talk about work
Or if you think I'm like kind of a jerk
To see you even six feet away
Would be an occasion

I wanna stay in tonight
Please can we stay in tonight

Meet me alone
In a bio-safety zone
Looking so cute
It that space suit

Though the meeting was wonderfully slow
Boss is fidgeting, it's time to go
Only a few seconds left
For a private message....
