With the corona outbreak, people are sharing great insights on how to avoid the viral pneumonia and what not. Even Ali Zafar thought it would be a good idea to make a ‘corona song’.
What followed afterward was a trolling fest. Where did he get the idea and what made him think its a great idea?
Yesterday, the singer on Sunday released a song called ‘Ko Ko Corona‘ to raise awareness about coronavirus. The song takes about preventative measures against the viral outbreak.

A song for the masses?
The song’s lyrics weren’t too well thought out, and neither was the message. It just talked about how bad the virus is and why you should wash hands, and avoid handshakes and public places.
The public just wasn’t about to put up with another injustice with ‘Ko Ko Korina‘.
From #WahidMurad's "Koko Korina" to #AliZafar's "Koko Corona". Such is life! pic.twitter.com/ifb1KLpXQW

That moment when you realize that #AliZafar's song was more about Corona Virus than PSL. As those lil bastards have halted PSL badly. 😂
O jab hum nikle to aandhi aati hai
Saansein apni hawa ban jaati hain
Rokoge kaise hum rukenge nahin
Daastaan apni dil se dil milaati hai— امیر حمزہ جیلانی (@JillaniAmeer) March 13, 2020
Some netizens did rush to his defense.
Yes, great step to raise awareness in a country with low literacy like Pakistan.

Where did Ali Zafar even get this idea? It might have come from the success surrounding Vietnam’s ‘Corona song’. The video of the country’s public health message about the viral outbreak uses the song to teach children to follow Corona preventative measures.
The song became so popular it even started a TikTok trend. There’s no doubt this original composition rips. Ali Zafar’s ‘Corona song’ on the other hand couldn’t even take off in Pakistan.
In fact, one Netizen’s Corona song did a far better job and got better traction.

Plenty of other ‘Corona songs’ have also surfaced on the Internet. From people in Italy are passing their time by singing songs from their rooftops. When in doubt, nothing some good music can’t solve.
