10 Coronavirus Hand Washing Songs With Catchy 20-Second Choruses

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Here are some Coronavirus outbreak hand washing songs for adults that all have choruses that are about 20 seconds long.

Thanks to the Coronavirus outbreak, we’re all being reminded that you should wash your hands for at least 20 seconds. As kids, one of the preschool hand washing songs that we were all taught to sing was Happy Birthday. Singing Happy Birthday twice takes ~20 seconds and I recently heard an adult man in an airport restroom quietly singing Happy Birthday to himself while washing his hands. But if you’re tired of Happy Birthday being your hand washing song, then I have some good news for you. Here’s a list of popular songs that all have choruses that are about 20 seconds or longer to add to your Coronavirus outbreak hand washing songs playlist.

Coronavirus Outbreak Hand Washing Songs Playlist

These songs all have choruses that are all about 20 seconds long or longer and make perfect handwashing songs. Just make sure you sing them at the same speed as the original song.

Fleetwood Mac – Landslide (23 seconds)

If you can fight back the tears, Landslide by Stevie Nicks from Fleetwood Mac has a great 20-second chorus that you can sing to yourself while you wash your hands.

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

Toto – Africa (23 seconds)

If you don’t like the original Toto version of this song, then there’s always the popular Weezer Africa cover version.

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

Beyonce – Love On Top (21 seconds)

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

Prince – Raspberry Beret (23 seconds)

This is a perfect handwashing song. It even oddly features Prince coughing in the song at 0:46.

She wore a
Raspberry beret
The kind you find in a second-hand store
Raspberry beret
And if it was warm she wouldn’t wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I love her

Guns ‘N Roses – Patience (30 seconds)

If you typically find yourself rushing through your hand washing routine, then perhaps you need a little Patience. Or at least an extra 10 seconds. The chorus for Patience by Guns ‘N Roses clocks in at about 30 seconds.

Said “woman take it slow, and it’ll work itself out fine”
All we need is just a little patience
Said “sugar make it slow and we’ll come together fine”
All we need is just a little patience (Patience)
Mm, yeah

Mr. Brightside – The Killers (27 seconds)

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

Jolene – Dolly Parton (25 seconds)

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

Rainbow Connection – The Muppets (22 seconds)

The chorus from the popular song, “Rainbow Connection,” from The Muppets is 22 seconds long. Add the “La da da di” part at the end for an extra-long handwashing session.

I’ve heard it too many times to ignore it
It’s something that I’m supposed to be
Someday we’ll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Down With The Sickness – Disturbed (23 seconds)

Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother get up come on get down with the sickness
You f*%ker get up come on get down with the sickness
Madness is the gift, that has been given to me

Fever – Judas Priest (18 seconds)

Clocking in at ~18 seconds, Judas Priest’s hit song, Fever, is a little on the shorter side. So sing it slowly while you wash your hands unless you want a COVID-19 fever.

Fever. You set my soul on fire
Fever. You fill me with desire
Fever. You always get it right
Fever. All day and all night

NERD NOTE: A “wet market” in Wuhan China called the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market was a major catalyst location for the spread of COVID-19. At wet markets, purchased live animals like turtles, dogs, bat, Koalas, and wolf puppies are often slaughtered fresh for customers after purchase. A sick customer or market vendor might have spread contaminated respiratory droplets on food or common surfaces at the market.
