In the ranks of Gangnam Style, What Does the Fox Say? and Numa Numa is the PPAP song from 2016 that drilled three nouns into your head.
To pull you through the global coronavirus pandemic, the hero of the viral track, Pikotaro, is back with a modified version of the song. Instead of reprising the pen, pineapple, and apple, he just wants you to memorize two things: hand and soap.
“I have a hand, I have a soap,” he declares in the new PPAP 2020 video while breaking into the same iconic PPAP dance.
He then teaches a new dance move involving the scrubbing of your hands together, as he introduces the line, “Wash wash wash wash wash wash wash wash.”
This is going to be stuck in your head again, but since it’s wired to be an earworm, why not replace the Happy Birthday song with it the next time you wash your hands?
