"Social" / "Distance" Songs

We've been told that social distancing is something we should be practicing during this pandemic. I propose that while we do so, we should listen to a bunch of songs bearing either the word "Social" or "Distance" in their titles (nobody writes songs with "Distancing" in the title). I did, and I enjoyed them. I think you will as well!  ~  JH
