Wash your hands while singing – song choruses with lyrics for young and old that last at least 20 seconds
One of the best protective measures to avoid getting infected with viruses is to clean your hands regularly and thoroughly. And that doesn't just apply to the corona virus. However, such measures are particularly important in the current situation. It is recommended to wash your hands with soap under running water for at least 20 seconds. But how should you estimate the right time? Counting to 20 every time is kind of boring, isn't it? We have a list of suitable songs that you can use to not only wash your hands properly, but also have fun.
Wash hands and sing
You don't have to be talented to have fun singing. And if you like to trample in the shower, you can do this while washing your hands and motivate yourself to do it long enough and thoroughly. The song “Happy Birthday”, which is sung twice in a row, is considered a classic for “counting down” the past. But that too gets pretty monotonous in the long run. That's why many people want a little variety even if they just wash their hands.
A 17 year old high school student from Great Britain named William Gibson created us the perfect helper for this purpose. The software developer has developed a practical generator in which you only enter the title of the desired song and its artist. The software then generates useful washing instructions from the lyrics. Over 200,000 people have already used the generator, which is available free of charge.
Wash hands – text and song for the 20-second rule
To ensure that you wash your hands properly, we have now put together a few of the most popular songs from the past few decades, the chorus of which has the correct length. You may even know some of them by heart, but you didn't know that it was 20 seconds. If not, you can practice right away and wash your hands singing the next time.
We start with a few ideas for adults, but then we also have some great children's songs to motivate the little ones to wash their hands.
Michael Jackson's thriller as a song to wash your hands
Michael's songs are real catchy tunes that you can hardly get out of your head. This also includes “thriller”. It's the perfect song to wash your hands if you're looking for a chorus in English. Oil your vocal cords and get started! You will definitely infect your neighbors with your roar – or you can get on your nerves.
(youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEHsIcsjtdI)Cause this is thriller
Thriller at night
And no one’s gonna save you
From the beast about to strike
You know it's thriller
Thriller at night
You're fighting for your life
Inside a killer, thriller tonight, yeah
Britney Spears's “Oops! … I did it again” as a hand washing song
Warning, another catchy tune follows, this time from Britney Spears. And if you have this song in your head for the rest of the day and buzz around in front of us, we would like to apologize for it. But if you are already singing it anyway, take advantage of it and clean your hands – especially in epidemics, you should wash your hands as often as possible (but not only). This also reduces the risk of illness from Covid-19.
(youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4g13smMjwMU)Oops, I did it again
I played with your heart
got lost in the game
Oh baby, baby
Oops, you think I'm in love
That’s sent from above
I'm not that innocent
Right hand washing with “I'm so excited” from the Pointer Sisters
If you want something really upbeat, make the right choice with this song. But be careful not to get the whole bathroom wet while you wash your hands.
(youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iwBM_YB1sE) I'm so excited
and I just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it
And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I want you
“Africa” by Toto
Choose the right song according to your mood and adapt it to your mood. You can wash your hands a little more relaxed with “Africa” by Toto. Try it out and take a detour to the bathroom!
(youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTQbiNvZqaY)It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the
things we never had
“Hands Clean” by Alanis Morisette
Another classic where you can hardly stand still even when washing your hands. The song by Alanis Morisette is undoubtedly one of the classics and will still be loved and sung in 2020. Ironically, the song title also fits the occasion. So don't forget it on your playlist if you want to wash your hands singing.
(youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dH289KxkGw)Ooh, this could be messy but
But you don’t seem to mind and
Ooh, don’t go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime
We're fast forward to a few years later
And no one knows except the both of us
And I have honored your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this
“Karma Chameleon” from Culture Club
“Karma Chameleon” also ensures a good mood and quickly lets you forget the stress that the corona virus causes in most people. If you can't get enough of the song, just turn up the volume and let it run.
(youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmcA9LIIXWw) Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green
“Livin 'On a Prayer” by Bon Jovi
If you like it a little rockier, you can choose Bon Jovi – another classic that never gets annoying and can help you wash your hands. The chorus is a few seconds shorter than 20, so you should add a few more. Or you can simply repeat it again. You certainly don't mind. But you can also add the bridge for over 30 seconds. Washing hands protects you the longer you do it.
(youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDK9QqIzhwk)Bridge:
She says, we've got to hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We’ve got each other and that’s a lot for love
We'll give it a shot
Song refrain:
Woah, we're half way there
Woah, livin 'on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Woah, livin 'on a prayer
Wash hands for children
Children in particular rarely have the patience to stand at the sink for a long time and do not always understand the current risk and the importance of hygiene. So it's important to make the whole thing more fun and songs are the perfect idea. It is best to choose songs whose chorus is in German and the song “washing hands” is hardly more suitable for this purpose. Sing the following lines for almost 30 seconds:
(youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFLT4Q_i7Hg) wash your hands, wash your hands
every child has to
Wash your hands, wash your hands
until they're clean
Now your hands are clean, yes
but unfortunately there is no towel.
So we have to shake them
shake, shake, shake.
So we have to shake them
until they're dry again.
Wash hands with children's song “Bake, bake cake”
Washing hands after the toilet is of course just as important, and with the right song it will be fun. If you want to wash your children's hands with a nursery rhyme, the text of “Backe, backe Kuchen” is very suitable and will quickly become an earwig.
(youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UM3ecX69Jo)Bake, bake cake,
the baker called:
Who wants to bake good cake
he must have seven things:
Eggs and lard,
Sugar and salt,
Milk and flour,
Saffron makes the cake gel!
Push, push in oven ’no.
“The monkeys race through the forest”
The song about the missing coconut and the monkeys is pretty upbeat and funny. Anyone who does not yet know the text will be able to remember it quickly. In addition to protecting you and your children from infection by washing your hands with nursery rhymes, you also have a reason to discover and learn new songs.
(youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr-Qq00rvQ4) The monkeys race through the forest,
One makes the other cold,
The whole gang of monkeys roars:
Where's the coconut?
Where's the coconut?
Who stole the coconut?
“A Bi-Ba-Butzemann is dancing”
If you want to wash your hands with a children's song, the Bi-Ba-Butzemann is also suitable, but do not believe that the song is only suitable for children. You can also thoroughly clean your hands with any nursery rhyme.
(youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cSI4_WeSCk) There is a Bi-Ba-Butzemann dancing around in our circle, dideldum,
a Bi-Ba-Butzemann is dancing around in our circle.
He shakes himself, he shakes himself, he throws his sack behind him:
a Bi-Ba-Butzemann is dancing around in our circle.
Washing hands with children's songs – “It's raining”
Not only on a rainy day that you have to spend indoors, you can cheer up with this beautiful children's song. It is also perfect for washing hands and we will not be surprised if your child does not want to stop washing their little hands. We particularly like the version from the video above with the following text:
(youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldK1iT-IxuE) It's raining, it's raining
It's raining its course
And when it rained enough
Then it stops again
Drip-drip, splash-splash, splash-splash, rain,
Drip-drip, splash-splash, splash-splash, wet.
Schnappi, the crocodile
In 2004, this children's song was the biggest hit ever – some caught the Schnappi fever, others were incredibly annoyed by the song. Either way, it's great if you want to wash your hands singing. And we are sure that the rhythmic song will also be well received by your children.
(youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcibw-m8tRk) I'm Schnappi, the little crocodile.
Come from Egypt, that's right on the Nile.
First I was in an egg
Then sniff, sniff, I snapped myself free
Refrain:
schni schna schnappi
Schnappi Schnappi Schnapp
schni schna schnappi
Schnappi Schnappi Schnapp
Wash hands with “My grandma is riding a motorcycle in the hen house”
This fun children's song is super funny. So that you clean your hands long enough, it is best to sing two stanzas in a row. You can decide which one exactly, because the selection is large enough. The introduction consists of the following lines:
My grandma is riding a motorcycle in the chicken coop
Motorbike, motorcycle
my grandma drives a motorcycle in the hen house
my grandma is a very patent woman. (or: And grandpa with a scooter afterwards)
(youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDrXzvJ7yw4)
But there are still numerous additional options with which the song can be changed in many ways and laughter will be guaranteed among the children! Here are a few ideas:
My grandma has a radio in her molar …
My grandma has a chamber pot with lights …
My grandma had a spoon with a propeller …
My grandmother has toilet paper with flowers …
My grandma has glasses with curtains …
My grandma has a saucepan with a steering wheel …
My grandma watches the daily news with a telescope…
My grandmother drives in the chamber pot on the Elbe …
My grandma makes jam out of cow dirt …
My grandma skates on grandpa's bald head…
