socIAl DIstAncInG In sonG Scrolling through Twitter, I ran across a post of Top 10 Coronavirus songs. This got the ball rolling in my head to create a Top 16 bracket of the best Quarantine/Social Distancing songs. Usually I print the brackets and have everyone in the office fill them in (see “Who Was the Best President?” in our Feb. 25 issue). In our socially distant times, though, the voting part is more challenging. My solution was to send the bracket to the whole team via our Slack channel but also put the individual pairings up against each other in rounds on my Instagram story.
Winner
2nd place
While our overall winner (“Don’t Stand So Close To Me” by the Police) wasn’t shocking, I was surprised by the overall strong performances of “U Can’t Touch This,” “Since U Been Gone,” and “Waiting on the World To Change.” If you’d like to listen to the playlist, use the search tool in Spotify and point your phone camera at the barcode. The playlist should pop right up. —MV
