'Baby Shark' the first and only YouTube video to reach 10 billion.

I swear I've heard the song a billion times in my house. confused I thought that purple dinosaur song would be stuck with me forever, little did I know.


The kids' song, masterminded by South Korean educational company Pinkfong and performed by Korean-American singer Hope Segoine, debuted in 2016 and was a viral hit in Asia but didn't jam itself into Americans' collective consciousness until 2019. Since then, it's been turned into a Nickelodeon TV show, a cereal, a live show and the rallying cry of the Washington Nationals throughout their World Series-winning season. It even made the Billboard Top 40 at one point and inspired the Jamie Tartt chant on Apple TV+'s "Ted Lasso."

My cousin plays this for her son. It does my fucking head in. Several times I've been tempted to beat the shit out of her when she has it on repeat. I'm convinced she's doing it to annoy me. Convinced of it.

There's a commercial that makes fun of children internet songs. I've wondered if it was backhandedly making fun of this song.

Nah, they get told to runaway from sharks and sharks hunt so there's that. Sharks come in nuclear families in case you didn't know. .
