Sung by masked Asian Artist Dark Venus and featured on her YouTube channel, the song relays a direct and to the point comedic perspective with a subtle serious overtone.
"You might have to watch this several times to catch all the jokes," says Robert Harris, CEO at Ampersand Records USA. "Overall, the message is serious and should be taken to heart."

Corona Wuhan Na- new lyrics written by Bob Harris and Dark Venus
Corona WuHan Na
Stuck in Topeka with Corona WuHan Na
Not glad to see ya cause I got the Novel Flu
I think I got it just by shaking hands with you
You didn't ask me like what I'm doin' (Like what I'm really doing)
When I was keeping 6 feet away
(It wasn't far enough)
I should have flown to WuHan or Taipei (Airports closed today)
Maybe I should have drank some Lysol Spray
Corona WuHan Na
Lockdowns and curfews from Corona WuHan Na
I bought a space suit for Corona WuHan Na
I'm really freakin from Corona
Corona WuHan Na...
Always thought a facemask was in fashion
Now I have to wear one for protection
The Flu Vaccine don't work on this infection
Maybe I also have the Rabies pathogen
Ooh-ooh-ooh,
I still was gonna get it
I knew that I would get it
Got me feeling like,
Ooh-ooh-ooh,
And then I had to get it
I had the Wu, oh no-no-no-no-no
Corona WuHan Na
I drank a gallon of Tequila WuHan Na
I'll quarantine ya cause my house is WuHan Na
Even my laptop's got Corona WuHan Na
The lines at the grocery store were freakin long (I'll put a bomb in there)
People coughing right into my face
(Call the rescue squad)
Never touched my eyes, my nose, or mouth (I never touched myself)
Please tell me, can I re-infect myself?
Oh yea
I'm gonna get it all again
(Got me feeling like)
Corona WuHan Na
No toilet paper oh Corona WuHan Na
I'm gonna sneeze on you Corona WuHan Na
(Got me feeling like)
Have a Corona to Corona
Corona WuHan Na
COVID-19 is spreading in your community
You better stay at home
Don't forget to sanitize everything, the steering wheel, the kids
Take a bleach shower, Wash your hands and Sing Happy Birthday
No hugging, no kissing
Go away! I don't know you!
