Mr Blue Sky (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuJIqmha2Hk)

Mr Blue Sky is, as I interpret it, about a British fellow who is thrilled that it finally stopped raining and he can now go out and see the sky. I feel that this is adequately symbolic of 2020, but instead of rain we have plague and pestilence.

Pomp and Circumstance(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kw-_Ew5bVxs)

Technically, I graduated this year, so I feel that this song is relevant to my life this year.

Hawaiian Cocktail(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ww6uzXnhnA&list=RD2ww6uzXnhnA&start_radio=1&t=9)

This is that sad depressing song they use in Spongebob. I feel like it is appropriate to this year.

Country Roads(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRPeYP6gS-s)

This specific cover was made for a videogame centered around nuclear armageddon . We aren’t anywhere near there currently, but we got close enough to complete societal collapse that the song is appropriate. The videogame isn’t even any good tbh.

Livin’ on a Prayer(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDK9QqIzhwk)

I would argue that we are at least half way there, in terms of this crisis being over, so this song applies.

Kahoot Music(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YGlzSl6cxU)

The music from Kahoot can be extremely stressful. So can this year, so I have included a 10 hour version.

Tarantella Napoletana(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-xsosv6uM0)

This one literally only applies to me, but I went on a field trip with my school to Italy and Greece like two weeks before the world shut down, so I have included generic Italian music.

Star Spangled Banner Recorder Cover(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUkqjRPexAY)

America has been in a state of absolute anemic crisis for the past year. I feel like this recorder cover of the Star Spangled Banner adequately symbolizes this.

I’m Still Standing(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHwVBirqD2s)

Sometimes I’m surprised society is still standing at this point. Regardless, I feel this song adequately describes society still existing.

The Final Countdown(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcJ-wNmazHQ)

You may think I chose this song because of the sense of impending doom a lot of people are feeling lately, and the Final Countdown really encapsulates that. I actually chose it because it’s about a dude going to space, and Elon Musk and SpaceX is a thing that happened this year. That being said, I suppose it works for the impending doom feeling as well.

The Internet Song(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)

I was asked to include this song. I can’t not do it now.
