We're all coming up with creative ways to entertain ourselves while we're on lockdown in our homes, but one group's recreation of a night out at London's infamous gay nightclub, G-A-Y, takes the cake.
"My housemates and I decided if we can’t have a Saturday night out at G-A-Y we’d have a Saturday night in at G-A-Y..." wrote one of the housemates as the caption of the now-viral video.
The homemade bar feels all too familiar — with Rihanna's "We Found Love" banging in the background, a very demanding bouncer, and even the messy boys hooking up outside the bathroom.
\u201cMy housemates and I decided if we can\u2019t have a Saturday night out at G-A-Y we\u2019d have a Saturday night in at G-A-Y... \ud83c\udf89\ud83e\udd42 @JeremyJoseph\u201d— Andrew (@Andrew) 1586639088
“I’m very glad that it’s had such a positive reception and has cheered people up during these tough times,” one of the roommates told Queerty. “The video was just intended as a bit of fun. We had decided to have a ‘club night in’ to cheer ourselves up and I just had a vision of making a parody of what people might usually experience on a night out."
Twitter users were astounded by the accuracy of the video:

One day, when we're finally allowed out again, we'll be able to feel the pounding bass of "We Found Love" at a real club as it wafts against our faces once more.
