PacificOperaVictoria | Handwashing to . . . Summertime @PacificOperaVictoria | Uploaded June 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Featuring Soprano Charlotte Siegel | Lyrics Below
In the era of COVID-19, washing your hands is anything but a 'quick & dirty' job! Health experts say we should use the proper technique and scrub for at least 20 to 30 seconds – as long as it takes to sing Happy Birthday twice. But who says you can’t sing something else?
Pacific Opera is here to help! We have created the Handwashing Public Service Video Project, a series of how-to videos featuring singers from our past and future productions, with music by your favourite opera composers and new words by Bill Richardson.
Watch (and sing along) as our opera divas and divos demonstrate proper handwashing procedures while singing popular arias to new lyrics.
Corona-librettist Bill Richardson is an author, humourist, former CBC radio host, and current corona-inspired balcony performance artist.
Handwashing to . . . .Summertime
Bummer time
All because of corona
We’re depressed
We’re abandoning hope
We must queue
At the Safeway and Rona
But gosh, little baby,
Just use soap.
Wash your hands
Keep two meters between you
Boomer child,
That is six or so feet.
Rock that mask
And sneeze into your elbow
And say every morning
Life’s still sweet.
And say every morning
Life’s still sweet.
