In a video with more than 70,000 likes, they sang that they're ready to see their family again.

"And maybe one day, we can all say, we can be together one-on-one," sang the Kaplans. "No screen between us! We can be together one-on-one."

Tonight, the two told "World News Tonight" that we all can get back to normal if we work together.

"We just want to tell everyone to get your shots when it's your turn. They work. It means you're going to get to see your loved ones," Harmony Kaplan said. "We can get off these screens, but keep wearing your masks."
