The lyrics to When Will My Life Begin, the first song featured in the film, are ironically resemblant of most people’s daily routine whilst they have been bored in lockdown during the pandemic.
The lyrics write:
"And so I'll read a book
Or maybe two or three
I'll add a few new paintings to my gallery
I'll play guitar and knit
And cook and basically
Just wonder when will my life begin?"

"I'm watching Tangled and I can't believe Rapunzel practiced social distancing in a tower away from the village of Corona. I just—" another tweeted.
"let’s not forget that rapunzel was quarantined and met her future husband so let’s think positively here," one jokingly wrote.
"In the 2010 Disney movie Tangled, Rapunzel was locked in a tower for 18 years! She’s taken away and distanced from society. She’s quarantined for 18 years. The name of the Kingdom was called “Corona.” And the similarities didn’t end there. #ThesePeopleAreSick #DarkToLight," one conspiracy theorist penned.
