We’ve all heard it by now: one of the top ways to combat COVID-19 is to wash your hands. The recommended time to lather up, according to the CDC, is at least 20 seconds, and there’s more musical options to scrub along to than “Happy Birthday” or the “ABCs.” Check out these selections by artists with metro Detroit roots. They all clock in at — or just above — 20 seconds.
Aretha Franklin – “Respect”
What you want
Baby, I got it
What you need
Do you know I got it?
All I’m askin’
Is for a little respect when you get home (just a little bit)
Hey baby (just a little bit) when you get home
(Just a little bit) mister (just a little bit)
Eminem – “Lose Yourself”
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
(x2)
Bob Seger – “Ramblin Gamblin Man”
But I got to ramble (Ramblin’ man)
Gamble (Gamblin’ man)
Got to got to ramble (Ramblin’ man)
I was born a ramblin’ (Gamblin’ man)
Yeah, Uh-uh
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Madonna – “Material Girl”
‘Cause we’re living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
Living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
The Temptations – “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg”
I know you wanna leave me,
But I refuse to let you go,
If I have to beg, plead for your sympathy,
I don’t mind ’cause you mean that much to me.
Ain’t too proud to beg and you know it,
Please don’t leave me girl,
Don’t you go
Alice Cooper – “School’s Out”
Well we got no choice
All the girls and boys
Makin’ all that noise
‘Cause they found new toys
Well we can’t salute ya can’t find a flag
If that don’t suit ya that’s a drag
School’s out for summer
School’s out forever
School’s been blown to pieces
Lizzo – “Truth Hurts”
(Yes, the Grammy Award-winning singer has local ties. She was born in Detroit in 1988.)
Why men great ’til they gotta be great?
Don’t text me, tell it straight to my face
Best friend sat me down in the salon chair
Shampoo press, get you out of my hair
Fresh photos with the bomb lighting
New man on the Minnesota Vikings
Truth hurts, needed something more exciting
Bom bom bi dom bi dum bum bay
Eminem – “Not Afraid”
I’m not afraid (I’m not afraid)
To take a stand (To take a stand)
Everybody (Everybody)
Come take my hand (Come take my hand)
We’ll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just lettin’ you know that you’re not alone
Holla if you feel like you’ve been down the same road
Stevie Wonder – “Isn’t She Lovely”
Isn’t she lovely?
Isn’t she wonderful?
Isn’t she precious?
Less than one minute old
I never thought through love we’d be
Makin’ one as lovely as she
But isn’t she lovely, made from love?
The Supremes – “You Can’t Hurry Love”
You can’t hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don’t come easy
It’s a game of give and take
You can’t hurry love
No, you just have to wait
You got to trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
Eminem, Royce da 5’9″, Big Sean, Danny Brown, Dej Loaf, Trick Trick – “Detroit Vs. Everybody”
Tell ’em if they want it, they can come get that (Statik)
I swear I love my city, I just want a little (Statik)
See me, they salute me, they ain’t ready for that (Statik)
Detroit vs. Everybody
(X2)
The Romantics – “What I Like About You”
What I like about you
You hold me tight
Tell me I’m the only one
You wanna come over tonight, yeah
People whispering in my ear
Tell me all the things that I want to hear
Cause it’s true
That’s what I like about you
Four Tops – “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)”
Sugar pie, honey bunch
You know that I love you
I can’t help myself
I love you and nobody else
(X2)
Dej Loaf – “No Fear”
I know my life can get so crazy but as long as you’re right here
None of the gossip, nothing can stop us
I’m wanna love you with no fears
We can do this thing together
Close your eyes and take my hand
‘Cause what we have is something special
Baby let’s just take our chance
(Baby let’s just take our chance)
The White Stripes – “Seven Nation Army”
I’m gonna fight ’em off
A seven nation army couldn’t hold me back
They’re gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I’m talking to myself at night
Because I can’t forget
Back and forth through my mind
Through a cigarette
Big Sean, featuring Kanye West and Roscoe Dash – “Marvin Gaye & Chardonnay”
Early in the mornin’ (mornin’)
When she’s all alone (when she’s all alone)
I’m a take my time (yeah)
Do it how we want it (do it how we want)
Just to set the mood girl I bought some Marvin Gaye and Chardonnay
Hold up, Hold up, Hold up, Hold up, Hold up
Hold up, Hold up, Hold up, Hold up, Hold up
