What is the cure?
- Oh no you're already affected!
  
  No! There's no way, Mister! Mister Smith at the clinic promised me that my inoculations were all up to date!
I'm taking this with a pinch of Salt And Peppa.
That happened to me! Hopefully it doesn't get U2!
- The virus only gets ya, if you party INXS
  
  and then Wham!
  
  Yeah. For your immune system to be so compromised you need to drink a magnum at least.
  
  You have to know when enuff z'nuff.
- Yeah, it's quite the Poison to experience.
I looked them up. They are still an active band!
Are you sure it's a virus and not Poison?
- Either way, you're in for quite the Journey
  
  Wanna see my Whitesnake?
  
  It might be all night (but it'll be alright).
- It could be Anthrax.
- At least it gives me something to believe in.
  
  There is always something there to remind me
My exotic cat caught the feline version and it got in his ear.

Now he's a Def Leppard
When it happened to me I was so scared I cried. I went to see my therapist, who told me I was shedding tears for fears.
- make me want to cry, Cryyy [higher pitch], CRRRYYYYYYYY [very high pitch] !!!
  
  What a Godley post!
The virus seriously weakens cellular membranes, causing Soft Cell. SC leads to a breakdown of your dopamine and oxytocin receptors which leaves you with a feeling of tainted love.
In this new wave of memes, people tend to confuse music genres. We should call the police on them.
Oh no! I may have this too. I'm going to Rush to my doctor.
- Dio know if there's anything he can do?
- Yeah. Just go to the Dokken he'll fix you right up.
- And you'll learn that you're only immortal for a limited time
  
  Forever Young
It's sad, all this interesting music, you can KISS goodbye.

Edit: You could say this virus will Poison the mind.
I've heard it can also have gastrointestinal effects. I got it a few weeks ago and it really made me Wang Chung.
Looks like the super spreader event was a rock concert at the Guggenheim. People are now blaming The Art of Noise.
