During COVID-19 Pandemic

Summer Woolley - Monday, 3 August 2020
An Irish pub has “banned” patrons from singing Neil Diamond’s hit song Sweet Caroline in a bid to curb the spread of coronavirus.
Murphy’s Irish Bar on Corralejo in Spain’s Canary Islands has hung up a sign directing pubgoers to avoid the popular sing-along tune at all costs “due to COVID-19”.

“There will be no: touching hands, reaching out, touching me, touching you”, the chalkboard reads, quoting the 1969 hit.

Not only do the lyrics actively promote touching, the song is also popular among drunken bar patrons, creating the perfect storm for a coronavirus super-spreading event.

The World Health Organisation recently expanded its coronavirus guidance to include the possibility of airborne transmission, in which the virus could be spread through tiny droplets that linger in the air.

The update came after an open letter signed by more than 200 scientists pressed the agency to acknowledge the potential role that tiny droplets, or aerosols, play in airborne transmissions among people in crowded, indoor settings for prolonged periods of time.
While the sign is likely a joke, Linda Carroll posted it online and it has been shared hundreds of times.

'SWEET CAROLINE' LYRICS
Where it began, I can't begin to know it, 
But then I know it's growing strong, 
Was in the spring, And spring became a summer, 
Who'd believe you'd come along
Hands, Touching hands, Reaching out, 
Touching me, Touching you
Sweet Caroline, 
Good times never seemed so good, 
I've been inclined, To believe they never would, 
But now I...
...look at the night, And it don't seem so lonely, 
We fill it up with only two, 
And when I hurt, Hurting runs off my shoulders, 
How can I hurt when holding you?
Warm, Touching warm, Reaching out, 
Touching me, Touching you
Sweet Caroline, Good times never seemed so good, 
I've been inclined, To believe they never would, Oh, no, no
Sweet Caroline, Good times never seemed so good, 
Sweet Caroline, I believe they never could, 
Sweet Caroline, Good times never seemed so good, 
Sweet Caroline...

Due to covid 19
Sweet Caroline is banned.

There will no:
Touching hands
Reaching out
Touching me
Touching you

Neil Diamond reveals truth behind
'Sweet Caroline' lyrics

Above, the singer is seen with Miss Murphey in 1975
Singer Neil Diamond, released soft rock song 'Sweet Caroline' in 1969. It has long been thought of as ode to young daughter of John F. Kennedy. But Diamond has revealed it was love song for then-wife Marcia Murphey  - I couldn't get a "Marcia" rhyme. 
Diamond said he needed a three-syllable name for chorus - and 'Caroline' worked - Sweet Caroline - yes!

Contrary to popular belief, they were NOT inspired by JFK's young daughter .
That was it. And that's what it's been'
However, Diamond, who has sold over 125 million records globally, did not take back his previous comments that the young Miss Kennedy was at least partly influential toward the song.
In 2007, the singer-songwriter revealed he was a struggling musician in the sixties when an 'innocent, wonderful' photo of the president's daughter in a magazine caught his eye.
'Sweet Caroline' is now a staple track, 
particularly at U.S. sporting events
