BuzzJack Music Forum _ UK Charts _ Story of a Top 40 Chart – A Lockdown Dilemma

Posted by: awardinary 1st May 2020, 11:46 PM

It’s been a couple of years since I last told a chronological chart story using the official Top 40 singles as my basis, so out of boredom and creativity here is a story about being in lockdown and has a message of hope by the end.

“It’s Times Like These when Blinding Lights shine on the Roses of the field, that you may want to Toosie Slide toward your Death Bed prematurely because that may seem the only way out.

But you can’t because of lockdown.

Our BuzzJack member Houdini likes to get Physical when he’s Lonely. It’s about all that keeps him sane during this time.

But he can’t because of lockdown.

When it comes to self isolation Don’t Start Now just because I Say So, you should have started ages ago. Take The Scotts for example, if they Break My Heart it will be just like that old Rover I once had.

But I can’t drive it anymore because of lockdown.

Do you have a weakness? If You’re Too Shy (Let Me Know) and I’ll bring you a fresh Blueberry Faygo. Even if the Rain should fall, you won’t find a Boyfriend quite like me whose been Falling for you. My Intentions are to spend time with you of course and take you out somewhere special.

But I can’t socialise because of lockdown.

Yes thanks to social distancing many have resorted to finding a Break Up Song because they are sure that if you find the right song then You’ll Never Walk Alone because that would be Savage to do alone. Instead, many are learning to do the Dance Monkey from home with yellow Flowers from the garden. They surely would have found more colourful ones at the park.

But they can’t make unnecessary travel plans because of lockdown.

I will say this much, If The World Was Ending, which some skeptics think it is, then anyone found Righteous, from the local doctor to the global Rockstar, would surely Adore You for staying at home and saving lives. Yes it can be Supalonely at times, but surely the Tequila at the back of the cupboard helps right? I know you would rather be out clubbing and partying right now instead.

But you can’t go to social gatherings because of lockdown.

In conclusion, This City that we call home may be all we know of life for some time. I think I’m Ready for the future, and I’m sure you are too. Things will get better soon. Just Believe It and always Know Your Worth because although you may get low at times due to Stupid Love limitations on how we cannot be together, don’t worry about the Boss Bitch just focus on yourself, and remember that In Your Eyes you Don’t Need Love, all you really need are your Kings & Queens which are right here in this City Of Angels where we belong. We can get through this together, and we will!

Because we can thanks to lockdown. “

Excellent way of using all the top 40 songs of the moment in a story.
Well done.

I did one years ago but with football teams
