Just when you thought the ‘Baby Shark’ phenomenon was finally fading, PinkFong has brought it back with a new twist—this time, to promote handwashing amid the pandemic. The catchy tune has been reimagined as “Wash Your Hands,” aiming to teach children the importance of hygiene during these challenging times.
This fresh version of the beloved song, released on March 21, features straightforward lyrics that guide kids through proper handwashing steps: “Grab some soap, doo doo doo doo doo,” followed by “rub your hands, doo doo doo doo doo,” and “rinse your hands, doo doo doo doo doo.” It also includes tips on staying healthy, such as “cover your sneeze, doo doo doo doo doo,” and the slightly more complex “cough into your elbow, doo doo doo doo doo.”
Since its debut in the U.S. over a year and a half ago, ‘Baby Shark’ has become a cultural phenomenon, spawning merchandise, toys, a live musical, and even a TV show. The relentless earworm has invaded homes and dreams, proving nearly impossible to escape.
The video has quickly gained traction, amassing over 3.2 million views and encouraging fans to participate in the #BabySharkHandWashChallenge. This initiative aims to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19, which has already affected hundreds of thousands worldwide.
Most of us thought we had left the ‘Baby Shark’ wave behind in 2019, but in a year that has thrown us many curveballs, why not welcome it back? If you find yourself wishing for a giant sinkhole to swallow the creators of this song (with no harm done, of course), you’re certainly not alone. However, we’re now in an era where cleanliness is vital. Encouraging our children to wash their hands multiple times a day can feel daunting, especially when getting them to brush their teeth is often a battle.
So, here we are, parents. Good luck navigating this new reality. May you find your own coping mechanisms—whether it’s a glass of wine, a scream into a pillow, or a secret hiding spot in your home.
