Behind the song

Despite the title, this song has nothing to do with the pandemic! It's a tribute to the DIY culture that emerged during the Cold War, some would say out of necessity, because non-government approved music was illegal. "The kids" (as they always do) found a workaround by copying vinyl records of the forbidden music onto discarded x-rays, trading the tunes amongst themselves, in defiance of the regime. The underground eventually became the scene until it all folded in 1989. The Berlin Wall fell and much more sinister leaders were born.
