Talk to the hand

In the shower this morning I realized that I was singing a song in my head over and over.

The song was "Head and Shoulders Knees and Toes."

Even as I realized it, it felt sort of familiar and expected. I wonder if I sing this song in the shower as a sort of checklist to keep me on track as I bathe.

Head and shoulders knees and toes knees and toes
Head and shoulders knees and toes knees and toes
Something something something ears and nose
Head and shoulders knees and toes knees and toes

Also, I got yelled at by a police officer on the way in to work today. He was very mean. He was directing traffic in the intersection and he gave me a hand gesture that I interpreted to mean "go" but which was apparently intended to mean "stop." Or "high five." I think it could have gone either way.

Head and shoulders knees and toes knees and toes
Head and shoulders knees and toes knees and toes
Something something something ears and nose
Head and shoulders knees and toes knees and toes
Digg this

whooops, I thought I left a comment but seems like it got lost. But it was really important so here it is again. The line of this fabulous song that you're missing is:

"And eyes and ears and mouth and nose"

As with the rest of the song, it is essential to touch the corresponding body parts while singing to get the full experience.

I'll have to try it in the shower tomorrow! I will be so much cleaner now that I know all the words. Thanks Polina!
