I’m sure you could make a sketch out of this song. The Spanish pronunciation is really terrible, but it has its own charm…

Hey Joe man, I love this song for a number of reasons. First, your play it and sing it very well, and it has a melodic catchiness to it that is familiar to all your songs. Second, it reminds me of when I used to sing songs to my son as he was brushing his teeth, too. I would sing while he brushed and when the song was done, it was time to rinse. Love the intimacy of the story, too. Everything you write about seems to be totally relatable to me, brother man. Love it!

Hi Joe, Brusha, Brusha, Brusha!! Your Spanish is pretty good Joe! I understood it! Another excellent song!👍😎✌🏼

Fun and cool song Joe, great vocal as always 👌

I love this song❣️ Very melodic‼️

Great song Joe, nice idea! The mix is your best yet I would say - nice drum sounds! Reposted

Gracias! Every Dentist needs this playing in their office! Super fun way to convey dental care...I hope this saves a lot of mouths!  Excellent voice!  You've made an implant, without the screws! GOOD & cheeky! ;)  🤍🤍🤍🤍🥇🔁🖖🏼

so this is typically "joe wonderful". we get inspiration often from unexpected places but I am glad you took advantage of this one. say hi to your daughter

This is lowkey about me!  Excellent advice, and a cautionary tale!  Excellent tune as always Joe, fantastic work!

My daughter is now eleven but when she was 4 or 5 years old, I was trying to learn Spanish (but then life got in the way) and as we brushed our teeth every night, I would sing a silly song “Abre la boca, lava tus dientes blancos blancos muy limpios”.  I’m sure it’s a terrible translation but recently the song popped into my head and this weekend, and I thought it might be fun to attempt to turn it into a complete song.

When I was a kid, I really wish I’d listened to my parent’s advice
They said brush your teeth carefully or someday you’ll pay the price
I was trying to learn a little bit of Spanish, so I thought I’ d write my daughter a little song
I’m not sure it’s grammatically correct and I bet the pronunciation is wrong
Abre la boca, lava tus dientes blancos blancos muy limpios
Open your mouth, wash your teeth, white, white very clean 
I know you’re just a little kid and it’s hard for you to comprehend
But if you don’t brush your teeth every day, there’s lots of Novocain around the bend
I really hope you take heed of the lessons that I’ve learned 
If you eat too much candy like Icharus flying to close to the sun, you’ll get burned
Abre la boca, lava tus dientes blancos blancos muy limpios
Open your mouth, wash your teeth, white, white very clean 
First you need a filling and then you need a crown
Every year your dental health keeps going down
You sit in that chair, and it’s drill baby drill
The candy tastes good but it’s a bitter pill
They say in the future we’ll regrow our pearly whites
But until that day comes, you’d better take my advice 
Abre la boca, lava tus dientes blancos blancos muy limpios
