Holderness Family We Don't Talk About Covid

Remember "Christmas Jammies?" That's the Holderness Family in a nutshell: relatable, catchy, and a whole lot of fun. They've been churning out hilarious parodies and original songs for years, making family life feel a little less chaotic and a lot more sing-along-able.

But here's a twist you might not expect. When the world was obsessing over, well, you know...that thing...they dropped a track titled "We Don't Talk About Covid."

The Song That Dared Not Speak Its Name

Yep, you read that right. In the thick of lockdowns and hand sanitizer, the Holderness Family decided to do the unthinkable: poke fun at our collective avoidance of the elephant in the room, or rather, the virus in the air.

It wasn't about dismissing the seriousness of the pandemic. It was more about acknowledging the sheer exhaustion of talking about it 24/7. Think of it as musical therapy, a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine of constant news cycles go down.

A Parody with a Purpose

The song itself is a parody of "We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Disney's *Encanto*. If you've got kids (or have simply been within earshot of one in the last year), you know exactly what we're talking about.

The original's catchy Latin rhythms and gossipy storytelling became the perfect vehicle for the Holderness Family's brand of observational humor. Lyrics like "I shouldn't ask why there's no more toilet paper" and "My kids are homeschooled, I'm their principal and I'm failing" resonated with parents everywhere.

It's all about the relatability factor. The Holderness Family has carved out a niche by taking everyday struggles and turning them into something laugh-out-loud funny. "We Don't Talk About Covid" was no exception.

More Than Just a Laugh: A Family Affair

Part of the charm of the Holderness Family is, well, their family-ness. Penn, Kim, Lola, and Penn Charles are all in on the act, making their videos feel like you're watching a home movie, albeit a very well-produced and edited one.

This DIY spirit is key to their appeal. They write their own songs, film their own videos (often in their own house), and handle their own social media. It's a genuine, unfiltered look into the ups and downs of modern family life.

And that's why "We Don't Talk About Covid," despite its potentially sensitive subject matter, worked so well. It wasn't preachy or judgmental; it was just a family making light of a universally shared experience.

The Takeaway: Finding Humor in the Hard Times

The Holderness Family's "We Don't Talk About Covid" is a reminder that even in the toughest of times, there's always room for a little levity. It's a testament to the power of music and humor to connect us, to help us feel less alone, and to remind us that, yes, we're all just trying to figure things out.

It's a bold move to take on a subject as charged as the pandemic, but the Holderness Family managed to do it with grace, wit, and a whole lot of heart. And who knows, maybe a little denial sprinkled in too.

So, the next time you're feeling overwhelmed by the constant barrage of news, remember "We Don't Talk About Covid." And remember the Holderness Family. They might just have the perfect song to help you get through the day.
