There’s a new song that my kids were raving about this week. It was a MUST watch. I was surprised when I found out it was about hand-washing.
Tired of singing “Happy Birthday” to yourself as you wash your hands for 20 seconds? YouTube star and top Billboard recording artist Peter Hollens puts his own spin on top pop songs, resulting in the “The Epic Hand Washing Song”.
The mash-up of 20-second parodies of top hits from Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Maroon 5 and more will make you smile and dance, all while making sure your hands are clean.
The idea for the song came about as Peter wanted to ensure his son and others were practicing proper hygiene, especially in light of COVID-19. 100% of the proceeds raised from the streams on YouTube will be donated by Peter Hollens to Global Giving’s Coronavirus Relief Fund.
At the time of releasing this article, in less than a week the video has amassed over 530,000 views on YouTube alone.
