Family in Colorado Springs sings a COVID-19 version of ‘Home on the Range’

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- Stuck in their home and without anywhere to roam is a family in Colorado Springs who took their off-time to create a new rendition of a well-known song.

Deborah Berg and her family members recorded a YouTube video in their living room, singing a quarantine version of "Home on the Range."

Berg's husband is on the guitar, her sister is her partner in vocals, and their 14-year-old nephew, Jayden, pops up in the background when he feels like it.

Rebekah Lusk, the second singer in the video says they didn't know he was in the background dancing.

"We knew he was in the video, we just didn't know he was doing that," Lusk said.

Berg says the video took five or six takes before they uploaded the final product.

"We just threw it together. It's not perfect but it's okay we were just having fun and just want to give people a chance to laugh and find the positive in it or else if I wasn't laughing, I'd probably be crying," she explains.

The lyrics for the song were written by their aunt who lives in Texas, and is currently quarantined to her own ranch. She says it took 20 minutes for the new song to come together.

Instead of the classic lyrics:

Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all-day

Their song says:

I'm stuck in my home, not allowed to roam
All the malls and restaurants are closed
So I put a mask over my nose
Can’t go anywhere, I’m afraid to breathe air

The infamous chorus has been changed to:

Stuck home on the range
Where the kids and Netflix play
Where often is heard the discouraging words
You're all stuck in your houses 'til May

The video only has about 200 views on Youtube, but the Berg family hopes it goes viral.

"This honestly has snowballed into something we did not expect," Berg said.

She teased that a sequel may be in the works.
