Hello family, friends, acquaintances, and absolute strangers. The last few days with COVID-19 becoming a global pandemic have been unspeakable and frightening. My anxiety level has been quite high over the past few days, and I imagine many of you feel the same way. COVID-19 is a very serious issue, and we all need to do our part doing the best we can to minimize the spread of this virus.
While the impact on citizens who are not elderly and with preexisting health conditions may not be as big of a threat, we have to be smart. We have to take this seriously and help make the world become a safer place for the elderly and those less fortunate - sooner rather than later.
Listening to music is one thing, but actually playing and creating music is therapeutic and my most powerful drug to keep me sane. That is why on Friday, March 13th 2020, I spontaneously recorded five songs under one minute, to capture my internal, silly, and existential feelings on our current state. I hope you enjoy, and I hope it gives you a much needed laugh.
Thanks everyone and take care.

road trips are immune to viruses
road trips are immune to viruses
road trips are fine
road trips on my mind
road trips are a time to be alone
ROAD TRIPS!
Virus free
ROAD TRIPS!
Just me in the breeze
I want to go on a road trip
I want to go on a road trip
I want to go on a road trip
I want to go on a road trip
Unless there's already a virus in the car, then I'll cancel the road trip.
Yeah, you should probably cancel the road trip at that point.

there once was a virus
he was the ruler of the world and his name was fred
FRED
there once was a virus
he was the ruler of the world and his name was fred
FRED
and then the virus was overthrown
by another person who wanted to be king or queen
the virus was taken out to school
and was beaten up in the swimming pool
and everyone submitted to the new ruler
and the new ruler was also named fred
so, not much progress
is it fred armisen?
