'Baby Shark' song used to soothe toddler becomes rallying cry in Lebanon via karish309

- A popular children’s song became a rallying cry in Lebanon after protesters in Beirut spontaneously sang the hit to calm a toddler caught in the midst of a noisy demonstration.

On the spot, Eliane relates, the crowd spontaneously broke out into a rendition of the song “Baby Shark”, complete with hand gestures depicting a shark’s bite, and big smiles. The “Baby Shark” song has been popularized by a video uploaded to YouTube by a South Korean children’s educational company called Pinkfong in 2016. It has become one of the most-watched videos on the platform, with over 3.7 billion views.

Videos posted on Twitter on Sunday showed demonstrators waving Lebanese national flags, letting off flares and singing the catchy song.

Lebanon is Nationals country.

The toddler is thinking 'What is wrong with these people? They're drunk and leaning into the car! Let's get out of here!'

Kid looks horrified

They should listen to more 'Katy Perry' esp. 'Wide Awake'......

That toddler may have been calmed, but I was terrified watching it.
