This is another one I really like. It reminds you to keep a cheerful heart while washing your hands a million times a day. Itโs such a beautiful song.
This one comes with a warning. If you choose to sing this song, youโll never get out of heard. Itโs already too late for me, youโve been warned.

Remeber the song My Sharona? You can sing one verse of it while you wash your hands. You can also change it to my corona if you want but I prefer the original.

Here is our patriotic option. Itโs also pretty wholesome. I like it.
29) Midtown by The Suffers
This is another one Iโve never heard of. But The Suffers sounds like they would be a cool band. I just watched the videoโฆ I was so so so right. They might be my new band. Their singer is all sorts of fierce.

I thought barre was a fittness routine? Now, Iโm confused. Barre, who? Barre, what?
