Bummer alert: That video that's been going around of quarantined Italians singing Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" from their balconies during the Coronavirus pandemic has been declared a fake.

Metal Injection shared this unfortunate discovery pointing to other videos that have surfaced of the same filmed balcony but set to different songs, including Cher's cover of ABBA's "The Winner Takes It All."
