Ariana Grande sings about life after coronavirus restrictions in ‘No Lockdowns Anymore’ \u2014\u00a0a parody of ‘Good Morning Baltimore’ from the Broadway hit ‘Hairspray.’<\/b>
\nCelebrity \u201cMaking plans is like sex to me,\u201d the pop star sings in this Hairspray spoof with James Corden. It\u2019s been one month since Ariana Grande tied the knot with Dalton Gomez, and her post-lockdown to-do list just keeps getting longer. The pop star expressed her desires in a parody performance with talk show host James Corden, spoofing the Broadway hit \u201cGood Morning Baltimore\u201d from Hairspray. In their version, aptly titled \u201cNo Lockdowns Anymore,\u201d the two sing about everything they can\u2019t wait to do now that most coronavirus restrictions are being lifted in New York and California, where at least 70 percent of residents have had at least one dose of the vaccine. \u201cWoke up today, feeling OK, wow this is new,\u201d Corden croons while gallivanting around New York City in a bathrobe after finding out the area\u2019s lockdown has been lifted. \u201cGot the vaccine and it\u2019s been two weeks, there\u2019s life in the streets.\u201d According to the host, nature is healing, and seeing \u201chot people at brunch\u201d again is proof. The parody kicks up a notch in the second verse when Grande appears in a bright yellow dress and sings about the joys of doing small things again, such as getting a haircut, going to the gym, and interacting with each other. \u201cSay hi on the street, air kiss on the cheek, it\u2019s been so long since I\u2019ve put on my shoes,\u201d Grande sings with Marissa Jaret Winokur from Hairspray before suggesting that they do something adventurous like \u201cget drunk and get matching tattoos.\u201d Inevitably, there are many other things about post-lockdown life that Corden and Grande are excited for. In the next verse, they sing about going back to the office, finally changing out of sweatpants, and no longer pretending to pay attention to Zoom when they\u2019re really binge-watching Bridgerton. They\u2019re even excited about sitting in heavy traffic again, which is something that literally none of us ever thought we would miss. After crooning about spending loads of time outdoors, the \u201cPositions\u201d singer admits that being able to do anything is a turn-on. \u201cMaking plans is like sex to me,\u201d she sings before encouraging people to embrace life, make new memories, and hug their families after \u2014 and only after \u2014 they get the vaccine. The Hairspray parody marks Grande\u2019s first TV appearance since marrying the Los Angeles real estate agent in a secret ceremony in May. \u201cIt was tiny and intimate \u2014 less than 20 people,\u201d the musician\u2019s rep told People at the time. \u201cThe room was so happy and full of love. The couple and both families couldn\u2019t be happier.\u201d With Coronavirus restrictions gradually being lifted, it\u2019s possible that the newlyweds may have a bigger celebration planned. More likely, however, is that they\u2019re just looking forward to being able to do things again, this time as husband and wife.<\/p>\n
