You could count to twenty, saying “one thousand” between each number or you could sing your way through the 20 seconds that you’re supposed to wash your hands for. CNN compiled a list of songs from each decade, from the 50’s through today, that you can sing while you wash. From Elvis Presley to Lizzo: you’ve got a variety to choose from.
Notably, you can sing 70’s classic, “Dancing Queen,” by super group, ABBA, to nail that wash time. Just sing the following…
“You are the dancing queen,
Young and sweet,
Only seventeen.
Dancing queen,
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah!
You can dance.
You can jive.
Having the time of your life.
Ooh, see that girl,
Watch that scene,
Digging the dancing queen.”
And, if the 80’s is more your flavor, why not Joan Jett and The Blackhearts‘ “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll“? For that, you need to sing…
I love rock n’ roll.
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby.
I love rock n’ roll.
So come an’ take your time an’ dance with me.
Said “Can I take you home where we can be alone?”
Next we’re movin’ on,
He was with me, yeah me.
And we’ll be movin’ on,
An’ singin’ that same old song,
Yeah with me, singin’,
I love rock n’ roll.
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby.
I love rock n’ roll.
So come an’ take your time an’ dance with me.
