ILOF Theme (We're Not Allowed to Have Fun) by E.G. Phillips

Theme song for the Internet phenomenon "In Lieu of Fun" — a little internet community born out of the pandemic and the prohibition if put on fun.

I'm sure you heard about the murder hornets
What about saber tooth anchovies?
Sure lots of shows have tech issues, but
Have you ever seen a baby canon
Blow up the host’s computer screen?

We’re not allowed to have fun anymore —
So in lieu of fun let's at least not be bored
Come on Greek chorus, it’s time to gather
Meet our guest, join the banter
Post a question if you wanna be raptured
Cause we’re not allowed to have fun

Kate has encounters with animals
Ben’s dog shirts are “nippily”
Morel hunts end in infestations
There’s pugilism, trolley problems and
Cheese nights are totally a regular thing

We’re not allowed to have fun anymore —
So in lieu of fun, while you avoid chores
Come on Greek chorus, it’s time to gather
Meet our guest, join the banter
Post a question if you wanna be raptured
Cause we’re not allowed to have fun

With experts on covid and corvids
We’ll celebrate the cicada swarm
Trash talk Putin and Pompeo and
Drink every time
Someone says “norms!”

We’re not allowed to have fun anymore —
So in lieu of fun, see what we have in store
Come on Greek chorus, it’s time to gather
Meet our guest, join the banter
Post a question if you wanna be raptured
Cause we’re not allowed to have fun
Cause we’re not allowed to have fun
Cause we’re not allowed to have fun The theme song for the on going internet phenomenon "In Lieu of Fun"
