        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s the unmasked singer.</p><p>We&#8217;ve seen her do everything from <strong>cough on mask advocates</strong> to&nbsp;<strong>trash face-wear displays </strong>while wearing a $40,000 Rolex&nbsp;when asked to don an anti-<strong>coronavirus</strong> cover. Now, &#8220;Karen&#8221; — <strong>the viral term for various white women</strong> filmed throwing tantrums — has her own soundtrack courtesy of &#8220;The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.&#8221;</p><p>The <strong>timely song parody</strong>, entitled &#8220;Karen, Please Just Wear a Mask,&#8221; has racked up over 125,000 views since being uploaded to YouTube Wednesday.</p><p>In the satirical PSA, an unnamed vocalist implores Karen to wear a mask and practice social distancing to the tune of Dolly Parton&#8217;s &#8220;Jolene,&#8221; while videos of infamous anti-mask tantrums play in the background.</p><p>&#8220;You go on rants at Trader Joe&#8217;s,&#8221; she croons, alluding to the California woman who berated store <strong>employees</strong> who confronted her for not covering up. The performer also ridicules the Florida Karens who called <strong>state mask mandates</strong> &#8220;the devil&#8217;s law&#8221; and the <strong>Panera Bread customer </strong>who compared COVID-19 masks to trying to contain farts in pants, among many others.</p><p>The anonymous crooner — <strong>revealed exclusively to The Post</strong> as singer-songwriter Karen Bishko — concludes her Karen-shaming number with some salient advice: &#8220;Please just wear a mask you big dumbass.&#8221; Yes, the voice behind the song is actually named, Karen. We&#8217;ve reached out to Bishko for comment.</p><p>Needless to say, her biting ditty resonated among the YouTube masses.</p><p>&#8220;Grocery stores should play this song automatically when someone enters without a mask,&#8221; quipped one fan.</p><p>&#8220;I never thought &#8216;being an adult&#8217; would be a political issue, but here we are,&#8221; commented another on the entitled outbursts.</p><p>One YouTube comedian snarked, &#8220;Why stop at mask? Don&#8217;t pay your taxes, don&#8217;t wear a seat belt, ignore all the laws, you don&#8217;t want to be a sheep.&#8221;</p><p>Unfortunately, despite the <strong>medical community&#8217;s consensus&nbsp;</strong>that masks do indeed prevent the spread of COVID-19, Karens across the United States continue to thumb their noses at them. <strong>The New York City MTA reported last month that</strong> one in 10 straphangers still ride the subway sans any face-covering.</p><figure id="attachment_16027823"  class="wp-caption aligncenter"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/07/karen-song-01.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/07/karen-song-01.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/07/karen-song-01.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span>The &#8220;Karen&#8221; song.</span><span class="credit">YouTube</span></figcaption></figure>]]></content:encoded>
