With COVID-19 sweeping the country, public health officials have been consistently encouraging people to do one simple thing: wash your hands. The recommended duration of a good scrubbing should come out to roughly 20 seconds, or about the amount of time it takes to sing the “Happy Birthday” song — twice over. This gets boring – fast. To make things more interesting, here are ten other catchy choruses to sing instead.
Ramble On – Led Zeppelin
Ramble on/And now’s the time, the time is now
To sing my song/I’m goin’ ’round the world, I got to find my girl
On my way/I’ve been this way ten years to the day
Ramble on/Gotta find the queen of all my dreams
Landslide – Fleetwood Mac
Well, I’ve been afraid of changing’/‘Cause I’ve built my life around you
But time makes you bolder/Even children get older
And I’m getting’ older, too
Brightside – The Killers
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr. Brightside
I Won’t Back Down – Tom Petty
Hey, baby
There ain’t no easy way out
Hey, I will stand my ground
And I won’t back down
Jolene – Dolly Parton
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I’m begging of you please don’t take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don’t take him just because you can
If It Makes You Happy – Sheryl Crow
If it makes you happy/It can’t be that bad
If it makes you happy/Then why the hell are you so sad?
A Hard Day’s Night – The Beatles
It’s been a hard day’s night, and I’ve been working like a dog
It’s been a hard day’s night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I’ll find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
Karma Chameleon – Culture Club
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
Changes – David Bowie
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes/Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes/Don’t want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes/Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes/Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me/But I can’t trace time
God Only Knows – The Beach Boys
I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I’ll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I’d be without you

I was thinking changing The Beatles “I Want To Hold Your Hand” lyric up slightly to ” oh yeah I tell you something I think you’ll understand when I say that something – I want to wash my hands – I want to wash my hands!”
That’s perfect!! lol
Yes!!
The chorus to “Smells Like Team Spirit” always comes to mind (although I don’t know how long it is): “I feel stupid and contagious…”
