Spice Up Sink Time With These 20 Tunes
April 4, 2020
The coronavirus has made people really enthusiastic about washing their hands. For years, the go-to song to sing while people wash their hands has been the “Happy Birthday” song. Truthfully, it’s getting a little repetitive and boring.
Here’s a list of 20 old jams and the lyrics to 20-second segments to wash hands to, in alphabetical order.
- Africa by Toto
“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”
- …Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
“My loneliness is killing me (and I)
I must confess, I still believe (still believe)
When I’m not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time
- Barbie Girl by Aqua
“I’m a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world
Life in plastic, it’s fantastic
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation
Come on Barbie, let’s go party
I’m a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world”
- Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
“I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouch, scaramouch
Will you do the fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning
Very very frightening me
Galileo, Galileo, Galileo, Galileo, Galileo, Figaro-magnifico”
- Gangsta’s Paradise by Coolio
“As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there’s nothin’ left
Cause I’ve been blastin’ and laughin’ so long
That even my momma thinks that my mind is gone
But I ain’t never crossed a man that didn’t deserve it
Me be treated like a punk
You know that’s unheard of
You better watch how you talkin’
And where you walkin’”
- Heaven Is A Place On Earth by Belinda Carlisle
“Ooh baby, do you know what that’s worth?
Ooh, heaven is a place on Earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We’ll make heaven a place on Earth
Ooh, heaven is a place on Earth”
- I Want It That Way by Backstreet Boys
“Tell me why
Ain’t nothin’ by a heartache
Tell me why
Ain’t nothin’ but a mistake
Tell me why
I never want to hear you say
I want it that way”
- Jolene by 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”
- Karma Chameleon by Culture Club
“Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy is your colors were like my dreams
Red, gold and green, red, gold and green”
- Landslide by Fleetwood Mac
“Well I’ve been afraid of changin’
Cause I’ve built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I’m gettin’ older too”
- Love On Top by Beyonce
“Baby it’s you
You’re the one I love
You’re the one I need
You’re the only one I see
Come on baby it’s you
You’re the one that gives your all
You’re the one I can always call
When I need to make everything stop
Finally you put my love on top”
- No Scrubs by TLC
“No, I don’t want no scrubs
A scrub is a guy that can’t get no love from me
Hangin’ out the passenger side of his best friend’s ride
Trying to holla at me (Whoo)
I don’t want no scrubs
A scrub is a guy that can’t get no love from me
Hangin’ out the passenger side of his best friend’s ride
Trying to holla at me”
- Raspberry Beret by Prince
“She wore a raspberry beret
The kind you find in a secondhand store
Raspberry beret
And if it was warm she wouldn’t wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I love her”
- Rocket Man by Elton John
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
‘Till touch down brings me round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no
I’m a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone”
- Space Oddity by David Bowie
“This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You’ve really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it’s time to leave the capsule if you dare”
- Stayin’ Alive by The Bees Gees
“Whether you’re a brother or whether you’re a mother
You’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive
Feel the city breaking and everybody shaking, people
Stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive
We will get low”
- Toxic by Britney Spears
“With a taste of your lips, I’m on a ride
You’re toxic, I’m slippin’ under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I’m addicted to you
Don’t you know that you’re toxic?
And I love what you do
Don’t you know that you’re toxic?”
- Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield
“Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you, only you can let it in
No one else, no one else can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten”
- Wannabe by Spice Girls
“Yo, I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha)
I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig ah
If you want my future, forget my past
If you wanna get with me, better make it fast”
- Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance
“When I was a young boy
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band
He said, “son when you grow up
Would you be the savior of the broken,
The beated, and the damned?”
