Today marks day 2348250 of Melbourne lockdown (because who’s actually counting), and we’re all trying to find the best ways to cope, which includes singing about being a bit drunk, raving about how empty public transport is, and parents going seemingly insane boasting that The Wiggles will be doing the parenting from now on.
You can’t deny it – you’ve probably contemplated becoming a TikTok star in isolation because what the fuck else are we going to do?
Pubs are once again shut, we can’t eat in a café, and literally everything except buying groceries, exercising, and necessary travel is completely off limits.
Yeah, we’ve tried board games. Sure, we’ve discovered that baking is great way to pass the time. But, there are some people who are taking lockdown to the next level on TikTok, and we need to discuss it.
1. The ‘Melbourne Is In Lockdown AGAIN’ song:
Because nothing says lockdown like “drunk just a little, and I’m not gonna lie.”
@jzandtThose Melbourne lockdown feels. @stevierayplarre is a lyrical genius. ##fyp ##foryou ##marypoppins♬ Tency Music and lyrics by Steve Plarre – stevierayplarre
2. Another Melbourne lockdown song, featuring toilet paper, poo, and drinks:
“I’ve got a question, a question for you: does COVID really make us do that much poo?”

3. Counting the amount of cases while playing only the “cause you had a bad day” part of ‘Bad Day’ by David Powter:
Yep, and the bad days keep coming, and they don’t stop coming. Back in my house, and I hate that COVID’s still comin’.

4. This person who’s made it her personal task to yell at people who aren’t staying inside like they ought to:
To be honest, if I lived in a high rise, I’d make this my form of entertainment, too.

5. Full on rage mode because we can’t go to bars and restaurants like the rest of Australia can:
To be honest, we’re feeling a bit left out.
@tobyrozarioAin’t this a mood for all my Melbourne people ? ##comedy ##imupset ##tiktokaustralia ##melbourne ##lockdown ##quarantine ##covid19 ##coronavirus ##drake♬ Automatic get famous sound – dfryurmomgay8
6. This dad who has decided to let The Wiggles play the role of parent for the day:
Honestly, fair. Who has the energy to nurture another human when I can’t even get my mental health sorted in this mess?

7. Regardless of how bad things are, how good is it not to be crowded on public transport?:
What? There’s no one to sit next to me? What a luxury.

8. To get some entertainment, we’ve turned into utter narks:
We don’t want to be in lockdown for a freaking year, so if you’re having a party, we’re telling.

9. This person who tried to make friends with their window washer:
We’re all starved for a bit of human interaction, these days.

10. This video showcasing the beauty of Melbourne that we’re all missing:
Honestly would give anything to be on a crowded tram right now instead of being locked inside.
@jamiezhuMelbourne lockdown ??? everything is empty ❤️ @catherinegramatic0 ##coronavirus ##australia ##melbourne
