The coronavirus has become a global epidemic, and who better to manage such a thing than a band called MGMT? In fact, the group's Andrew VanWyngarden has shared a goofy dance song about the global pandemic.

The answer to Charli's question was, of course, MGMT. Specifically, a Twitter account named for the band's Andrew VanWyngarden shared a SoundCloud link, where he wrote, "I didn't finish it today but this is a teaser."

The official MGMT account has retweeted VanWyngarden's account, meaning despite the lack of a blue checkmark, it's almost certainly him.

Listen to a teaser of "Oh No Corona" below.
