Love in the Time of Cholera

From 1961, please enjoy Hugh Barrett and the Victors and the greatest rock/r&b song ever written that sort of references a dangerous medical contagion -- "There Was Fungus Among Us."




I'm posting this for obvious reasons, obviously.

That said, a coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded to the first reader who comes up with an actual song that includes the word "virus." Frankly, I couldn't think of one.

"There was a virus going 'round, papa caught it and he died last Spring"

I don't recognize that line. What's it from?

"Ode to Billie Joe"

It actually has the word virus? Hole. E. Shit.

I was thinking maybe Nick Lowe's "A Dose Of You", but I just checked the lyric sheet - no mention of "virus".
