The video features a beat comprised of coughs, Dr. Fauci cameos, grocery store stand-offs and an other-worldly virus depicted by a hot-glued craft poof ball and straws. It takes the viewer on a rhythmic ride fueled by rap-style lyrics while showcasing various pandemic reactions and interactions.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was inspired to make this video after a supermarket encounter where I tried avoiding another shopper. The guy said to me, \u2018Hey, we\u2019re doing the COVID dance,\u2019\u201d Bailey says.<\/p>\n
The hook exemplifies that interaction to a coordinated beat \u2013 \u201cStep left, step right, up hands. Step forward, step back and spin. Looking for an escape plan.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCOVID Dance\u201d was written, directed and produced by Zach Bailey, also known by his stage name, TIPZY.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen building this song, I was inspired by Megan Thee Stallion\u2019s, \u2018Savage,\u2019 and its iconic 2020 TikTok challenge plus my forever role models, Andy Samberg and his comedy group, The Lonely Island,\u201d Bailey says. \u201cMy ultimate goal for this music video is to promote ways we can stay safe this year, and my way happens to be through humor.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bailey shares that he\u2019s been producing \u201cgoofy songs\u201d for as long as he can remember when he first started out in his hometown of Overland Park, Kansas.<\/p>\n
