Children's Hospital Patients Singing 'Shake It Off' Will Brighten Your Day (Video)

by Emily Arata

When it comes to childhood illness, sometimes it feels better to just shake off your worries.

A delightful new version of Taylor Swift's hit "Shake It Off" comes straight out of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia just in time for Child Life Month.

Child Life Month is a time to bring attention to the importance of helping child patients remember they're still young, regardless of illness or trauma.

Thanks to a series of lip-syncing patients and dancing nurses, this might be the best parody yet. And it's not just the kids and staff getting screen time -- an array of volunteers join in, too.

Instead of allowing sickness to bring them down, these children take a moment to appreciate the good things in life: a pop beat and a community that cares.
