Laurie Berkner Will Release New Music Video 'Wash It'

A new Laurie Berkner music video for kids, "Wash It," will be released on Friday, July 7.

Vroom vroom! It’s time to clean those driving machines! Laurie’s truck, car, and bus have gone through muck and mud, so what do she and her young helpers do? They pick up their sponges and hoses and wash those vehicles every which way: side-to-side, round-and-round, bottom-to-top, and up-and-down. Kids will love the rocking beat of this ‘60s-flavored number.

The inspiration for "Wash It" came from one of Laurie Berkner's fans. "At the height of the pandemic, when I was doing one of my live 'Berkner Break' online concerts, I received a comment from a fan asking for a song about washing vehicles because their son just loved washing cars and trucks," explains Laurie. "I thought it was a great idea but forgot about it until the end of last year, when I suddenly recalled the request and was inspired to write 'Wash It.'"
