"Stuck at Home" is a song from the Broken Karaoke shorts. It is sung by the Green family, and is a parody of "Flesh & Bone" from Zombies 2.
Synopsis[]
This song parody generally serves as a public service announcement for the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, in which people are confined to their homes in an attempt to slow down the rate of the virus's victims.
For the first half of the song, the Greens are annoyed at the prospect of being stuck at home and sing their protests at what they're forced to do, while in the second half, they resolve to do the best they can and stay strong together.
Lyrics[]
Intro[]
Bill: Cricket, be careful!
Cricket: Dad it's about to start!
Verse 1[]
Cricket:
Stranded! I've been grounded
The one time I did nothing wrong
And I've never been so bored
That's why I'm singing this here song
I've lost morale
Miss my best pal
I long to ride my pig on the freeway.
Tilly: Brother, I don't think that was ever allowed.
Bill:
It's not time to go out
Must keep my children occupied
If only they published
An Endless Lockdown Parents' Guide!
No outdoor tasks
Without our masks
We wash our hands until they're dry as hay.
Cricket: And I never used to wash my hands.
Pre Chrous[]
Gramma:
Feeling just a bit stir crazy
Not the best at being lazy
What's today? My brain's gone hazy!
Tilly: It's Monday.
Bill: Maybe Thursday?
Chrous[]
All:
Oh... This is a declaration!
No... We can't stand isolation!
Post Chrous[]
Bill:
Kids always nagging
Cricket:
Video chat's lagging
Gramma:
Sat so long, I broke my tailbone!
All:
We're going mad
'Cause we are stuck at home!
Tilly: Family, we may be looking at this wrong...
Verse 2[]
Tilly:
With all this separation,
We're stuck inside for quite a bit
It's not time to go out,
But we can make the best of it
Just read a book
Or learn to cook
Set up an epic maze of dominoes.
Cricket: Hm, well when you put it that way...
Bridge[]
Cricket:
No more fits and whining
I get to watch so much TV!
Bill:
We'll find the silver lining
Gramma:
like throwing my own dance party!
Tilly:
Let's make some art
Bill:
Bake a fruit tart
Cricket:
Nobody cares if I do not wear clothes!
Bill: Ugh! Cricket, you still have to wear clothes.
Cricket: Aw, man!
Chrous[]
All:
Oh... This is a declaration!
Yeah... We'll get through isolation!
Post Chrous[]
Tilly:
This won't last forever
Cricket:
We're in this together
Gramma:
We'll fight through the highs...
Bill:
And the lows!
All:
We'll do our part
Don't mind we're stuck at home!
Outro[]
Cricket: Alright, song's over. Clothes are coming off!
Bill: Cricket!!

Trivia[]
- This song is a parody of the Zombies 2 song "Flesh & Bone". This is not the first Zombies parody they have done as "We're Goin' Offline" was a parody of "Ain't No Doubt About It" from Zombies 3.
- When the Greens are seen in their splitscreens, the backgrounds they stand in front of are the same colors that appear behind them in the theme song (green for Cricket, pink for Tilly, orange for Bill, purple for Gramma).
- In the same scene, when they sing "We're goin' mad 'cause we are stuck at home" and Tilly interrupts, the background behind Cricket is the original design of the living room back when the show was known as Country Club.
- Portions of the song features clips taken from previous episodes from either Season 1 and 2, including a clip from the then-unaired "Tilly Style".
- A few of the clips were re-edited to change the backgrounds; in other scenes, the characters' mouths are reanimated to make it seem they're lip-syncing to the words, sometimes changing expressions and face movements, and in other scenes, their mouths are animated to be closed.
- The following episode clips that make up the video, in the order of their first appearance, are:
- Artemis Pebdani's voice was auto-tuned given the fact she cannot sing the increasingly low notes as Bill does.
- It's implied Cricket kept the phone he used to call Nancy when he was trapped by Amaryllis in "Impopstar". However, in "Gramma Driver", he gets a new phone.
- This shows the Greens are starting to get used to electronic devices since the move.
- The last shot before Cricket leaves the stage is a logoless version of the intertitle scene from the end of the theme song.
- This video arguably became the most popular video on YouTube, having over 10 million views due to its PSA for the COVID-19 Pandemic.
- With currently over 24 million views as of October 2022, it is the most-viewed Big City Greens video on Disney Channel's YouTube channel, and one of the highest on the channel thus far.
- The second is "Queen of Nice". Coincidentally, they are both Broken Karaoke shorts.
- The music video clip holds the 7th most-viewed video of the channel when sorting by most viewed.
- This is the first Broken Karaoke video to be dedicated to COVID-19; the second is Where Are All the Monsters?.

A mask is added to Bill.
| ||
- The clip from "Tilly Style" was edited to have Bill wear a surgical mask over his face as he pulls up the weed.
- This is one of two Broken Karaoke songs incorporated into the compilation special, Big City Greens: Shortsgiving. When introducing said short, Tilly mentions how the audience is "still stuck at home, just like us," referring to the ongoing pandemic at the time the special was released.
- The scene from "Winner Winner" where Gramma loosens up was changed from the Boomba classroom to her bedroom.
- On the thumbnail, the Greens use their right hand to match what the characters act in Zombies 2, but if you look closely, you can see Bill's right index finger is revived.
- This song played immediately after the presentation of Zombies 2 on April 1, 2021, as part of Spring Sing Week.
- This is the final Big City Greens-related Broken Karaoke installment to feature onscreen lyrics.
- The last installment to do this all-together is the Gravity Falls installment, "Call Me Mabel", which released after this.
- This is currently the only Broken Karaoke song to be released to downloadable platforms such as iTunes.
Errors[]
- When Cricket says "Video chats lagging," the captions read "Video chats logging."
- On Disney+, the autoplay shows up when the song is halfway done. This mistake was later fixed.
