Lockdown 2020 - I Ain't Been Nowhere - Chuck Mead
I was traveling along playing anywhere I could
When along came a virus and took away my livelihood
Somebody picked it up and spread it worldwide
And now for a while we have to all stay inside
You ask me how I′m doing and if I've washed my hands
And I say listen bud I′ve had about as much as I can stand
I ain't been nowhere man I ain't been nowhere man
Been sittin′ in my chair man growin′ out my hair man
Sleepin' I′ve done my share man I ain't been no where
I′m in the bedroom, bathroom, living room, dining room
Attic, basement just to find an old broom
Hallway, driveway same place as yesterday
Go cook, read a book, jog around the breakfast nook
Glass clink get a drink straight from the kitchen sink
Can't think eyes blink man do my clothes stink
I ain′t been nowhere man I ain't been nowhere man
Been sittin' in my chair man growin′ out my hair man
Sleepin′ I've done my share man I ain′t been no where
I'm playin′ Yahtzee, Jigsaw, Scrabble and Monopoly
Jenga, Checkers, Cards Against Humanity
Fortnight, Minecraft, Grand Theft Auto 5
Battleground, Pac Man, Black Ops stay alive
Obstacle course with your daddy's old golf ball
Mousetrap, Ping Pong, Happy Hour, Zoom call
I ain′t been nowhere man I ain't been nowhere man
Been sittin' in my chair man growin′ out my hair man
Sleepin′ I've done my share man I ain′t been no where
I'm watchin′ Netflix, Apple, Disney and Amazon
YouTube, Roku, Hulu with my jammies on
Tiger King, Schitt's Creek, Maisel and South Park
Star Wars, Star Trek, Ozark′s gettin' dark
Porn Hub bathtub dirty old magazines
Lysol quarantine see what I mean now
I ain't been nowhere man I ain′t been nowhere man
Been sittin′ in my chair man growin' out my hair man
Sleepin′ I've done my share man I ain′t been no where
I know some place you used to go
I ain't been no where
Let's Go Everywhere (Worldwide) - Medeski Martin and Wood 傲遊四方
When you're tired of your toys
And of your games, and of the television
When you're done with chores and homework
Then it's time to make a big decision
You might need a change of scenery
It might be time to go
Over mountains, over oceans
Through dark jungles down below
On an airplane, on a railroad
On a tall ship with the tide
All you need's a little music
Howzaboutit, whaddya say you buckle
Up and we go for a little ride?
Chorus
Let's go everywhere man
Let's go everywhere, man
There's lots of fun out there, man
We gotta have our share, man
Get out of your chair, man
Let's go everywhere
We'll go to Bombay, Taipei, Mandalay, Bora Bora
Deauville, Louisville, Whoville, Glocca Morra

樂迷, 你認識歌曲當中的國家和地方嗎? 共有多少個名字出現呢? 而最令樂迷詫異, 甚至懷疑, 歌手是否衹憑記憶來演繹這一曲? 儘管如此, 創作人 Geoff Mack 可自誇一番, 我已經從澳洲走進各國流行樂壇了.... I've been everywhere, man!
