Songfacts®:

  • AnonymousLinkin Park is the best
  • Shadow from Depression, VaI guess so
  • Xavier from Santa Fe, Nmso..... linkin park really cares about hygiene?
  • Francesca from Malta, Other - EuropeThis song is called 'announcement service public'...but why not 'public service announcment'? the title is reversed because you have to reverse the song as well to get the message from it. "You should brush your teeth, and you should wash your hands."
