Do You Hum a 20-Second 'Hand-Washing Song'?

deepwaterdotter — Thu, 12 Mar 2020 23:18:45 GMT

I hum "Happy Birthday" twice, once for each hand.

LOL. No. I probably wash my hand for more than 20 seconds though. I have foamy hand washing soap..love the smell and the hand feel of it.

Today I heard that you should wash your hands for at least 60 seconds. The old 20 second rule is not effective.

I do, but my lyrics, which I can't post here, are a wee bit different.

I don't need a song . I just count to 30 seconds. But I have been doing that before. It's amazing that people are just now learning how long to wash or just now even washing period.

🎶Wash your hands, do do do do

Twenty seconds, do do do do

Cold or hot H2O do do do do

Dry your hands do do do do🎶

I've always been a "good" hand washer. Singing the Happy Birthday song twice is a good way to get used to the time it takes to wash your hands. I cringe when women at work barely rinse their hands after using the facilities.

I'm partial to Henry the Eigth I Am I Am

I'm 'Enery the Eighth, I am,
'Enery the Eighth I am, I am!
I got married to the widow next door,
She's been married seven times before
And every one was an 'Enery
She wouldn't have a Willie nor a Sam
I'm her eighth old man I'm 'Enery
'Enery the Eighth, I am!

Yes I do. Actually I sing it and say my own name. Had the windows open the other day and my neighbors heard me. When I was done they applauded.

I like to mix it up with Drake's "Money in the Grave".

@Nancy Drew I admit to not washing as long as 20 seconds until recently, but I will from now on.

I saw on Facebook that you could recite the opening to Star Trek, I tried it and it cracked me up. Space, the final frontier etc. 😁

@tansy Oh great-thanks for the freaking earworm now. LOL (Don't forget to insert the extra 'Enery after the 5th line.)

Oh darn it now I'm "hearing" them spelling H-E-N-R-Y
