Ah, Wacky Wednesday; reserved for an intriguing song or piece of music that’s out of the ordinary – definitely ear catching.  What better way to celebrate hump day, right?  Let’s get wacky on Wednesday, May 20, 2020 with “Mask, Gloves, Soap, Scrubs,” courtesy of Todrick Hall!

On “Mask, Gloves, Soap, Scrubs,” Todrick Hall opts for a ‘pandemic’ remix of “Nails, Hair, Hips, Heels” (Haus Party 1, Pt. 1, 2019).  The colorful track appears on Hall’s COVID-19 EP, Quarantine Queen. “My mask, gloves, soap, scrubs / My mask, gloves, soap, scrubs …” Like “Nails, Hair, Hips, Heels,” when you listen to this dance/house-inspired cut, the first word that comes to mind is FABULOUS.  Yaaasss, even in quarantine Todrick Hall is FABULOUS.  The lyrics are honest and relatable, but also quite entertaining, lighthearted, and definitely funny.  I mean, it really starts at the beginning of the first verse:

“My mask, gloves, soap, scrubs
TikTok, Grubhub
Twinks, jocks, bears, cubs
Zoom is the new club
Six feet, no hugs
Still beat these mugs
Sick beat got a rug
Joe Exotic is a thug
Kitty cat, cat, tell me Carole Baskin
Where is the husband everyone’s asking?
Stimulus check, everybody better cash in
Mask and gloves, yeah, that’s the new fashion.”

Of course, there’s even more on the second verse including the stellar line, “Left, right, left, right, swiping on Tinder / What was life like? I can’t remember.” The bridge goes H.A.M. with fitting phrases like “Mop for me,” “Stay away from me,” and “Squirt for me” – totally not sexual, of course ;).  “Nails, Hair, Hips, Heels” was featured on Songs That Capture & Embody the Pandemic, Vol. 2.
