Quentin Lee / YouTube Principal's "Can't Touch This" COVID-19 Parody Has Millions Cracking Up Returning to school during a pandemic has many people pondering all the surfaces that will need to be sanitized. Alabama principal Dr. Quentin Lee is clearly anticipating telling students, "You can't touch that," as the year resumes... so why not set the reminder to music?
With the help of a few students, Dr. Lee kicked off the new school year with a hilarious COVID-19 parody of MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This." Not only are the lyrics on point, Dr. Lee even does the Hammer shuffle down the hallway — with a ruler measuring six feet between students.
"Stop! Hammer Time" is so 1990. In 2020, Dr. Lee sings, "Stop! Sanitize!" Check out the video, and you'll be singing along.
