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

19 April, 2020 - 0 Comments

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?
