CALLING all parents – there’s a new Baby Shark song about washing your hands, and it’s sure to get stuck in your head.
The company behind the viral tune launched their new song amid the coronavirus pandemic – to remind kids to wash their hands.

And while the sentiment is a great one, we reckon the song will be driving parents mad on lockdown.
The people at Pinkfong! Kids’ Songs and Stories also launched a fun Hand Wash Challenge, with new dance moves and reminders to cough and sneeze into your elbow.
The music video has clear instructions for proper hand washing and it last 45 seconds so you can sing the song while you scrub – if you’re sick of Happy Birthday.
The lyrics go “wash your hands, doo doo doo doo,” then “grab some soap”, “rub your hands”, “dry your hands”, “cover your sneeze”, “cough into your elbow” and “safe at last!”

Wash your hands, doo doo doo doo doo. (repeat twice)
Wash your hands!
Grab some soap, doo doo doo doo doo. (repeat twice)
Grab some soap!

Rub your hands!
Rinse your hands, doo doo doo doo doo. (repeat twice)
Rinse your hands!
Dry your hands, doo doo doo doo doo. (repeat twice)
Dry your hands!
“What else can we do?”

Cough into your elbow, doo doo doo doo doo. (repeat twice)
Cough into your elbow!
Safe at last, doo doo doo doo doo. (repeat twice)
Safe at last!
Let’s stay healthy, doo doo doo doo doo. (repeat twice)
Let’s stay healthy! Oh, yeah!
Pingfong’s original #BabySharkChallenge launched on YouTube in June 2016, although it didn’t go viral until 2018.
The video has since racked up 4.9 BILLION views.
The catchy song and dance moves became popular all over the world – but parents were left unable to get the addictive ditty out of their heads.
If Baby Shark isn’t your thing, parents can also get a £1.50 singing Trolls soap which will encourage your kids to wash their hands.
