The CDC recommends washing your hands for at least 20 seconds — or the time it takes to sing “Happy Birthday” twice. However, when one song gets old, it’s time to switch it up!
Here are a few other songs to sing:
- 1. “Landslide,” by Fleetwood Mac
- 2. “Truth Hurts,” by Lizzo
- 3. “Jolene,” by Dolly Parton
- 4. “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” from the Wizard of Oz
- 5. “The Sound of Music,” from The Sound of Music
- 6. “Hands Clean,” by Alanis Morisette
- 7. “Karma Chameleon,” by Culture Club
- 8. “Stayin’ Alive,” by The BeeGees (also a favorite song for performing CPR)
- 9. “Livin’ On a Prayer,” by Bon Jovi
- 10. “No Scrubs,” by TLC
- 11. “Raspberry Beret,” by Prince
- 12. “Love Shack” by The B-52’s
And my personal fav: The Golden Girls theme song!
