Songs You Can Sing While Washing Your Hands

With the pandemic that we now encounter, everyone is encouraged to wash hands to keep the coronavirus at bay.

Everyone must wash hands with soap for 20 seconds. Some people suggest singing Happy Birthday or the ABC song to make sure that you are washing for at least 20 seconds. However, there's no need to be stuck with these 2 songs. Here are other songs that you can sing to make sure you wash your hands for 20 seconds and enjoy doing so as well.

1 Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive

This classic song is one of the catchiest tunes in the world. It is also the song that you can sing as a way to survive the pandemic. Gaynor also made a viral video on Twitter of her singing the hit song while washing hands. It is called the #IWillSurvive Challenge.

2 Beyonce - Love On Top

"Love On Top's" chorus is fit for handwashing, especially when the song is nearing the end. The song shows Beyonce's talent in making different ranges all in one chorus. If you will wash your hands, choose one range of the chorus while singing it for 20 seconds, according to The Star.

3 Toto - Africa

"Africa" is one of the beloved singles by the band Toto that was released in 1981. It became popular today thanks to praise, memes, and even piano tutorials. The chorus of the song can also inspire people to wash your hands.

4. Bon Jovi - Livin on a Prayer

This song was sang by people of Chicago to show support as the city and whole of Illinois were put on quarantine. In the song's chorus it says that they are half way there and they are "livin on a prayer."
