This week's COVID-related Retro Video of the Week comes to us courtesy of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame new wave trio The Police. It's their 1980 hit "Don't Stand So Close to Me," which was an international hit, reaching #10 on the Billboard Hot 100, #1 on the pop charts in the UK, Spain, and Ireland, and Top 10 on the pop charts in seven other countries.
The song itself is about a Lolita-esque relationship between a student and teacher, but for COVID purposes, you can passive-aggressively sing Sting's final repeating falsetto of "please don't stand so close to me" to yourself when encountering idiots in the grocery store who don't know how far six feet is. I suggest starting quietly and then building into a yell until they get it.
