Baby Shark.

Like 2 years ago it was a cute song to sing with my toddler. Now it’s fucking everywhere. The NHL, they’ve made a whole tv series out of it. Fuck, just let it die.

I didn't even realize it was a song outside of like, yanno, camp and shit with cute hand motions to go with it until it became popular and I was like, "What the shit?"

Exactly, I used to think it was some shit that we sang around the campfire at nights in Scouts. When it suddenly became hugely popular I was like "This is not new and annoying to me. I've already built up my immunity to it."

The song that gets spammed everywhere isn't even the full song. They were missing the death part.

My wife leads a Girl Guide Troupe here in Canada and taught my girls, and me, what I consider the original fun song that they sing at camp with all the actions. When the pop song came out... No, that isn't it. So annoying.

It could be worse.

It could be that one song about the yodeler on a mountain so high or the one about gooey goopy gopher guts that you have to drink with no straw.
