For the past months, a lot of viral videos of kids, teens, and adults circulate online, where they show off their talents.

In a high school in Childersburg, Alabama, the principal did not only show off his talent in singing and dancing; he also made sure he was sending out a critical message. Dr. Quentin J. Leemade sure the students and their community will understand how dangerous COVID-19 is, but he did this in a manner that everyone will enjoy: a parody music video.

Dr. Lee did a video with his take on the M.C. Hammer's song, "Can't Touch This." It shows the "new normal" that will welcome the students when they return to school this 2020.

The parody video

In an interview with the Alabama News Center, Lee shared that he is a kind of man who likes doing silly stuff like this video parody.

It took about 24 hours for the entire video put together.

Dr. Lee did the lyrics while he was in his office, by ten that evening, he was done recording the song. The following day, he had student volunteers who starred with him in the video.

What is good about the music video is that Dr. Lee acted out the things that are expected to happen during the class reopening. He even had a scene checking his students' temperature and reprimanding them for not wearing their face masks properly.
