For some reason, everyone’s favorite nursery rhyme, “Baby Shark,” has made its way from toddler playtime into popular culture. If you’ve never heard of the song, let me be the first to warn you that the obnoxiously catchy tune will not leave your head for the rest of the day. The song recently turned into a meme and James Corden featured a rendition of the tune on The Late Late Show. “Baby Shark” even landed in the Billboard Hot 100 chart in January. Now, the song has been played at the biggest festival of the year.
Back in November, EDM artist Jauz promised his Twitter followers he would play a remix of the nursery rhyme during his daytime Coachella set if he got 20,000 retweets. Clearly, his fans were excited to hear the remix, because the tweet quickly surpassed 20,000 retweets.
Ok I’m sick of seeing everyone asking. And I really don’t wanna do it SO —
If this gets 20,000 retweets I’ll remix Baby Shark.
Good fucking luck LOL 😂
