I Gotta Wash My Hands: World turning to The Beatles in Covid crisis, 50 yrs after it broke up

ifty years ago, in April, The Beatles broke up. But they remained so relevant that even the coronavirus crisis is borrowing from it. Their fun romantic song I Wanna Hold Your Hand has now been remastered to I Gotta Wash My Hands.

Another song that has acquired a new dimension altogether now is Here Comes the Sun, penned by George Harrison for a change, an oft-overlooked member of the band. A US hospital plays the song every time a patient recovers from coronavirus.

New Yorkers have been singing The Beatles’ songs during the lockdown.

So, how does a band that was together only for seven years still remain a glue between people and generations, even during a pandemic?
