Neil Diamond tweets coronavirus-inspired update of 'Sweet Caroline'
Fans thought it was "so good."
"I know we're going through a rough time right now," said Diamond, seated in front of a fireplace with his dog to open the clip. "But I love you, and I think maybe if we sing together, well, we'll just feel a little bit better."
Diamond, strumming an acoustic guitar, then broke into the song, whose pre-chorus was changed from "hands, touching hands," to "hands, washing hands."
The line, "touching me, touching you" became "Don't touch me, I won't touch you."
Followers thought the updated version was "So good, so good," and his dog, shown sleeping at the end of the video also seemed to approve.
