My daughter watches this stuff on YouTube and the numbers on most of these kids songs / nursery rhymes are in the hundreds of millions.
Yeah I remember this song as a kid and doing it a couple times when at camp. Even most of the different hand movements you make when doing the different Sharks. Shit always ended in the last part being shark attack.
It's really strange it's blowing up now of all times and the fact that a lot of people never heard it is crazy. I also refuse to listen to this song to have anything like what I already know of this song stuck in my head.

This makes me chuckle a lot.
My youngest showed it to me, and we just can't get it out of our heads.
My eldest and GF roll their eyes so hard every time we sing it lol

Heard it on Cocomelon first. It's catchy, but the song that haunts me at night is still "Johnny, Johnny? Yes, Papa?" Kill me.
Memetic hazard ¯\_(ツ)_/¯how FU-CKNG DARE you break character on the last sentence like that
My kids were addicted to finding different versions of Johnny Johnny Yes Papa. So many videos with so many millions of views
Me too. Shits my jam. Heard this a lot with my brother when he was little and I always liked hearing it.
I never heard of this, then again I haven't really been with young kids in 5-6 years. It's ok, and catchy, but too many dodo's for me. I'm not the target of course so I can't say anything :P
I recently introduced my kids to The Salmon Dance [edited] and they turn their backs on Baby Shark.
As far as oceanic repetitive kids songs go, Narwhals Song is 10000000% better. That song had legs with my kids.

I believe it. My 2yr old foster son was still hungry at bedtime last night so I gave him a small bag of gold fish crackers. He took one out and with the biggest smile went, "Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo".
The super simple version is what we usually always play. I like how they have long blocks of their version of children songs that I don't have to flip through.
Never heard that song before in my life. Don't really feel suited to judge it since I'm not a baby
I hear basically zero similarity. KKB is a wonderful band though.

How?
I had it suggested to me and since then? Yeah.
If only I could hack your YouTube and then your little ones will be asking you for baby shark on all the time too!
When you know the actions off by heart, it's too late for you.
Yeah their songs are pretty well made and catchy.
Haha.
We started with LittleBabyBum, some of those songs are now taking valuable space in my brain.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to punish you for that, completely wrong, post.
I thought ERA's ToS set a minimum age. How are y'all being allowed to post.
Jokes aside, Peppa Pig is great because it very cleverly teaches kids to be inclusive without shoving it in your face.
strange that this song decided to come back decades later and be a hit
we used to sing this growing up

I take it you're not a parent.
Because if you were, and you withhold the magic of Peppa to your children then you're a bad person.
I've watched too much of it babysitting my nephews, hence the annoyance.
I must admit, it is a good show for kids. Though sometimes I wish they were into sesame street instead.

I heard it mentioned before but this was the first time I saw it. I'm pretty sure this isn't original, I have vague memories of something like this from my childhood.
Oh, we started with LittleBabyBum too, then moved to Cocomelon. Stuff was a lifesaver back in the day. When I first saw LBB I was like, it's bad, it's so bad! And then I saw everything else on Youtube and suddenly appreciated that they cared enough to make reflective bus wheels. :D
The real question though (for all parents!), is have you seen...this:
I'm with whatsinaname. I really, really don't like Peppa Pig. If you truly love your child, have them watch Sarah and Duck. Or Hey Duggee.
LOL, he actually doesn't watch much in general. His cousin loves Sarah and Duck but he hasn't taken to it. I have Puffin Rock lined up for him when he is slightly older.
My 1 year old is addicted to this song so I listen to it about 10 times a day. She likes to do the shark clapping motion. We recently went to Chile to visit family and now her younger cousins are also addicted to this song. It's everywhere.
Hey Duggee is the best BBC children's show in a decade.
Love Sarah and Duck too. *quack*
I was talking to the wife about this breaking the charts, she simply said "Cause kids can use Alexa".
Good point.
Good point.
