Neil Diamond Changes Lyrics to "Sweet Caroline" in Coronavirus Public Service Announcement



Neil Diamond is doing his part to promote steps to prevent the spread of the coronavirus – and he found a creative way to do it. Diamond changed the lyrics to his iconic hit Sweet Caroline for a musical public service announcement about the virus.

As Christi Carras wrote in The Los Angeles Times,
Perched on the hearth of his fireplace next to his adorable pet pup, Diamond then launched into the familiar tune on acoustic guitar. 

At first, the anthem seemed to play out as expected.
Then came the catchy pre-chorus:
“Hands, washing hands,” Diamond sang in support of coronavirus prevention habits. “Reaching out / Don’t touch me / I won’t touch you.”

Enjoy, and keep safe!
